We Are Very Busy in SLC2!!
What a busy first week back! We are ambitious, capable, healthy and confident. We have worked together to complete puzzles, we have learned to create mendhi patterns for Eid and we have used our imaginations to make a team obstacle course. Gwych!
We enjoyed our last assembly before the Easter Break in SLC2! Three of us received certificates - for 100% Attendance, as Seren Yr Wythnos and for Third Prize for handwriting. Well done to all of us for a hardworking term. Happy Easter Everyone!
We are very proud in SLC2! As Ambitious and Capable Learners we have successfully looked after about 30 tadpoles on our class for the last few weeks. We would love to see them grow into froglets but we had to release them back to the pond due to the Easter Break. We will come back and visit them in the Summer Term!
Techniquest - What a fabulous day out for us with Dosbarth Birch and Elder! So much to explore and play with, and a wonderful workshop teaching us all about famous scientists through history.
We enjoyed watching and volunteering for the special assembly about crosses this week.
We have enjoyed looking out for more signs of Spring and on our travels found the pond wriggling with tadploes! We have brought some frogspawn back to class so we can watch them grow,
Our Half Term Project - AMBITIOUS AND CAPABLE - Thank you to all the children and their families who helped make these amazing animal sculptures using recyclable materials. We have written all about them now that we are back in class, and presented information to the class. ETHICAL AND INFORMED - We are a good listening audience in SLC2!
Teeny Tiny Signs Of Spring - We have had a wander around Calon Y Coed this week and found that there is masses of frogspawn in our pond, can you see the lumps in the water? We also found catkins and small buds just starting to emerge from the branches of some trees and bushes. Can you spot our discoveries?
Technocamps - We welcomed Rhys once again for Technocamps fun with Dosbarth Elder. We enjoyed working in teams to make a breakdancer before using technology to make him move. Our robot can recognise colours and can be programmed to repeat movements. What a fabulous morning being Enterprising and Creative!!!!
Launch Day - Science in the local park - We enjoyed working with Dosbarth Elder to discover which material makes the slide faster. What do you think? silky bib, a cushion, cardboard or plastic shopping bag?
Our Rights and Responsibilities - We have been learning about our rights BUT we understand that we have responsibilities to match. We are Ethical and Informed in Dosbarth Holly.
PE on the bars. Look at us working with the children from Dosbarth Oak on the bars and benches! We enjoyed climbing and exploring different ways of travelling.
We have all been super busy this week getting ready for Christmas with Christmas Craft! Look at our beautiful cards, calendars, decorations and gonks. Merry Christmas everyone!!See you in 2024.
Gifts! After entering the annual Christmas Card Competition for Rhondda Cynon Taff, the children have been awarded a 50p commemoration coin each for their hard work. Thank You Alex Davies-Jones! We sent an email to thank her as well.
Enjoying our annual Reindeer Run with Dosbarth Oak and Hawthorn. We made headbands with Santa's reindeer's names, who can you spot?
Cosmic Kids Yoga with Dosbarth Oak
Clwb Alawon - We enjoyed listening to traditional Christmas music with our friends from Llantrisant. Diolch Yn Fawr a Nadolig Llawen!
We enjoyed spending time with Dosbarth Oak yesterday playing some of our lovely board games.We have been learning about The UNCRC Rights Of The Child this week. We have RIGHTS, but we must remember that we also have RESPONSIBILITIES. We have the right to play....BUT we have to work hard in school.
CLIMATE WEEK - We have really enjoyed taking part in @ecoschoolswales workshops presented this week to teach us all about climate change, rainforests and the amazing Power Of Poo!!!
More Tremendous Trees- During Outdoor Learning Week, we spent time looking for the trees in our grounds that our classes are named after. Do you know which trees are birch, willow, holly, apple, hawthorn, maple and cherry? We still need to find oak, elder, beech and choose leaves to make an autumn picture but during a drier week!
Tremendous Trees! Thank you to Keep Wales Tidy's Tim and Matt for presenting another amazing workshop on Thursday morning. Did you know that some trees can grow as tall as 20 giraffes?! The roots of a tree can grow three times as long as the tree itself?!An oak tree can be a habitat to 2,000 other plants and animals?! We are looking forward to exploring signs of Autumn in our school trees after the break, happy holiday everyone!
We are Ambitious and Capable - Big bag Of The Body! We have enjoyed exploring bones, inside and outside the body. We have looked at pictures, labels and models to help us learn new words and talk about what we already know. Getting ready for some book work and a display to show our learning.
We have read the book 'A Perfect Fit', all about Triangle who wants to fit in with all her friends but discovers that being different is just as important. We have written in shapes all about how we are the same, different and special and made a beautiful display to show everyone.
Self Portraits and This Is Me - The children enjoyed mixing paints and using photos and mirrors to help them create self portraits, trying very hard to match skin, hair and eye colour.
We have enjoyed creating artwork for Autumn as well as cutting out to decorate our Autumn tree and doing our very best handwriting practice for our display.
