This term we have enjoyed using water colours and used our time to research JMW Turner. After practising skills we then worked on our final piece. 

Eczema Workshop.

Today we worked virtually linking together on TEAMS to investigate and find out about the skin condition eczema. Around 2.5 million children in the UK suffer from eczema. Our work today made use of moisture meters and also research and understanding so that we know more about the condition.

Ramadan and Eid.

Today we joined online with other schools for a virtual assembly to find out more about Islam and Muslims practices. This month is a special time of fasting followed by a huge celebration. It was fascinating finding out about multi faith cultures and also being able to ask questions to deepen our knowledge and understanding.

Reading Shelter Open !

Today we made our way across to our Newly built Reading Shelter. It was exciting to see how our DT work on structures had lead to the real construction of a Reading Shelter. When we got the shelter it was wonderful to be met by Jake Evans a story teller. He amused us, amazed and entertained us with his stories. 

Bikeability.

Being able to ride a bike is great, a super way to stay fit and healthy and a great way to travel. But it is important that cyclists understand about road safety and how to observe the rules of the road. This week our Year 6 pupils began their training. Our training includes bike control on the playground followed by instruction out on the road.

World Book Day.

Everyday is a day for reading but nationally today was a focus on World Book Day. We were able to come to school in comfy clothes, bring a book and have some fun.

Criftins Den and Young Enterprise.

Today was all about bringing our final part of learning to a an afternoon of selling our business ideas. Over the past few months we have developed an understanding about money, finance and how to create a business. Working in groups we created an idea, organised advertising and pricing. Today was all about selling our products to the rest of the school. A huge thankyou to Natasha from Virgin Money, helping us to achieve this project. We would also like to thank all the adults, staff, pupils, parents and PTA for all their support and help.

Computing and Audacity

This term we begin an exciting and new topic using the wonderful Sound Editor Audacity.
