Dosbarth Holly- Mrs Heaven
This Week in SLC2...
We have been busy decorating for Spring this week! We found beautiful photographs to match and colour, used our very best handwriting for poetry and decorated our tree with Spring pictures and leaves.
Sources of Light - We have been exploring and researching sources of light that are natural and man-made, and materials that are reflective, shiny, transparent and opaque.
Dosbarth Holly, SLC2 Welcome To Our Class Page!
Spring Term 2025
Welcome back to a cold and frosty January 2025!
Our topic this term is 'STEM-Tastic'
and is based on the 'Science and Technolgy' AoLE.
We will be looking at electricity, sound and light this term and we are looking forward to researching, exploring and carrying out investigations. We will also be taking part in activities for the RSPB Birdwatch, Children's Mental Health Week, LambCam, our Eisteddfod and Easter Craft. A busy term ahead!
Please look on Classroom and Gmail for class information as well as schoolwork and work that may be completed at home. We ask that every child reads EVERY night at home for
JUST 5 MINUTES please.
SWIMMING is on a WEDNESDAY

Please send in
£3 snack money ASAP

You can contact me at any time via email mrsheaven@llwyncrwn.co.uk
and through the Stream page on Classroom.
Thank You
Mrs Heaven 
We Are Very Busy in SLC2!!
We are Scientific Enquirers! We made a simple circuit before adding a paperclip to show that some materials can conduct electricity. We changed materials in the circuit and found out that wood, plastic and glass do not conduct electricity. Gold and copper made the bulb shine brightly. Amazingly, pencils can conduct electricity because they are made with graphite! We also made salt dough as salt is a conductor, but ours didn't work. We have enjoyed our enquiry week!
We are Ambitious and Capable! We have enjoyed sorting all the electrical equipment and we were challenged to light a bulb using only 4 pieces of equipment before exploring the jobs of different pieces in a circuit. We enjoyed playing a circuit simulation game which got harder and harder!
We had a lovely time reading with the children from Dosbarth Oak before heading down to Calon Y Coed to fit a camera in otrder to keep an eye on Piglet's feeding station. Hedgehogs should be hibernating now but his food is still being eaten. We hope to find out if he is still awake or if something else is enjoying his food!
Christmas Treat! We spent a lovely morning with Dosbarth Hawthorn and Dosbarth Oak, watching movies and eating McDonalds!We had a boogie in the afternoon and finished with Cosmic Kids Christmas Yoga and relaxation.. Nadolig Llawen I Chi Gyd!
Christmas Jumper Day and Busy Crafts! We look very smart and we are enjoying creating a calendar, a card, tree decorations, a stocking, a photo frame and writing a Nativity Story.
Outdoor Learning - Wow! We have created some fabulous fireworks this week using chalks on the pavement and we have enjoyed exploring Calon Y Coed for signs of Autumn. Look at all the colours we found! We made a leaf pattern to show the range of colours and we learned about and saw evergreen and deciduous trees.
Poppies and Yoga - We had a lovely time creating fireworks during our Cosmic Yoga and we made some perfect poppies to take home for Remembrance.
Eco Helpers - We helped our visitor from Beddau Food Angels to load up his car with all our school Harvest donations. He had a very pleasant surprise!
We have enjoyed creating artwork based on that of Welsh born artist Martyn Evans. We made our pictures into windows for a lovely display.
Shwmae! We had a lovely time during our visit from girls in Year 6 who came to teach us how to play some on-line Welsh games.
We have enjoyed working alongside Dosbarth Oak this week, we played games together and listened to stories.
Cynefin- We are Healthy and Confident because we know who we are! We have written about our homes and families and our likes and dislikes at home and in school. We used Google Maps and Street Map to find maps and photos of where we live and to see our journey to school.
We have been so proud of all the plants that we have grown and we are getting ready for replanting in Spring by saving all these seed pods. Do you know what flowers will grow again?
Our Very Special Job! We are Ethical and Informed because we know how to look after our resident hedgehog Piglet. We feed him twice a week at his special station and give him fresh water. He has a little house to live in but we mustn't touch it.
All ready for our busy new term in SLC2! AND...Can you see how much our plants have grown since we first put them in the ground? They have grown amazingly. Thank you Mrs Arnold for watering them over the summer break!
We are so proud of our Leavers as they prepare for the next step on their education journey. Our fabulous pupils received Eco and Resilience awards and extra special Headteacher's Awards for their outstanding achievements and sunny dispositions every day. We will all miss you very much.
We are Healthy and Confident! We were able to join Sports Day before the rain on Monday morning. We ran in the sprint and long distance and took part in the egg and spoon race.
Folly Farm Wednesday 10th July - What a fun day we had! Playing on the ship and wooden den and exploring the amazing animal enclosures. Can you spot the meerkats? We were so lucky to get as close as we did to the lions!
Prom 2024 - How proud are we of our two Year 6 boys having a whale of a time at the prom this week. You look so smart!
Thank You to Squash Wales who came to school to help teach us the rules of squash. We had great fun balancing the racket and ball, walking and running with the racket and bouncing the ball before hitting the net.
Our Green Fingers! Look at how our plants are growing! We have been putting them outside every day to enjoy the lovely sunshine, and we have been watering them. Our beans have germinated so we will put these into soil next week.
Metre Matters and Planting Pollinators - We are Ethical and Informed working hard to plant the area outside our classroom with flowering plants to attract bees. We have planted sunflowers and bee friendly plants in our upcycled sweet containers, and we will watch tomato and broad bean seeds grow to help us learn about looking after plants. We have seen some of our broad bean seeds germinate and some little green leaves already appear.
Follow the Eco Council link - We carried out the Easter Egg Waste Weigh In this week. Hopefully we've all donated enough to win a prize for recycling!
We said GOODBYE and GOOD LUCK to one of our pupils this week as he is welcomed back to his mainstream school after half term. We had a lovely party and played lots of games!
Pond Dipping With Dosbarth Oak- We had great fun pond dipping this week. We found lots of newts and their babies, tadpoles and snails. A friendly frog came to say hello too!
CCFC Fun With Dan - We are Healthy and Confident learning football skills with Dan from CCFC and Dosbarth Hawthorn.
Research and Rivers - We have spent time this week finding out about the River Taff and it's features. We paid a visit to Ty Nant Woods alongside Dosbarth Birch and Elder for some pond dipping and for a trail through the woods to look at features of the river running through it.
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!
