Saint Ffagans Visit - We had a fabulous visit to Saint Ffagans this week to go and see the Celtic Roundhouse. The lady was SO interesting and told us all about the Celts and their lives.

Stone Age ABC - We are Ambitious and Capable Learners! We have enjoyed learning about the Stone Age and used key words to help us write sentences and added them all to an ABC Chart. What do you know about the Stone Age?

We Are Very Busy in SLC2!!

ECO Easter Egg Waste - We helped weigh the Easter Egg waste this week. Lots has been collected, along with all the batteries! We MAY win a prize this year.

We have celebrated and remembered on VE Day 80 years this week. We enjoyed a lovely assembly, made a flying Spitfire and Dosbarth Oak joined us in the afternoon to make a flag to wave using a stick that we all found in Calon Y Coed.

We had a lovely day on Tuesday, spending time in the morning with Dan from CCFC for football skills, and the afternoon researching our new topic, looking at people, climate, food, tools, weapons and art of the Stone Age. We are ambitious and capable 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.

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!
