We had a lot of fun at Zumba on Wednesday. Thank you Tania!

Music with Mr. Burrows
We have enjoyed having Mr. Burrows coming in to teach us some music and helping us to create our own musical pieces. We learnt all about programmatic music and were shown how to create our own musical pieces with the theme of ‘A journey through space’. After learning how to play different instruments and keeping to beat and rhythm, we designed our own journey through space pieces and performed them to the class!
Netball tournament
Pupils in year 5/6 competed in the cluster Netball tournament. Everyone enjoyed learning all about the game and showed great sportsmanship and teamwork through the tournament.
Pumpkin carving
We enjoyed carving pumpkins for our special well-being activity today. Next year, we are going to try and grow our own from the seeds.
Literacy Enrichment
For literacy enrichment day, we looked at ly and simile sentences then used these to write some poetry about autumn. In the afternoon, we then created artwork to accompany our poems. We really enjoyed our day.
Five Ways to Well-being
Gail from In Reach CAMHS came in to see us to talk about well-being. We learnt that the 5 ways to well-being are: Keep learning, connect, take notice, give and be active. We then created posters to share ideas of how we might do this.
How can we help? Sut ydyn ni’n gallu helpu?
The pupils agreed they would like to help refugees to feel welcome, loved and supported and that something as simple as a smile would help to do that.
’If I could do anything to help I would …’
Suggestions included: making donations of food, toys, money and shelter, offering a place to stay, providing support to locate missing friends and family, work to promote peace and end war.
Some of our class activities have focused on owls.
Working together to make a paper mâché owl.
Cutting and sticking to make paper owls.
We hunted for natural materials on the school field and then designed and made owls.
Literacy Enrichment Day
We went on a nature walk looking at all of the signs of Autumn. We used this as inspiration to write poems based on Alan Peate ‘ly’ sentences.
Zumba
We were so lucky to work with Tanya to develop our Zumba skills on Wednesday. Here are some of our pictures.
