Half Term already!

Hello everyone!
Hope you're all having a good week off - even in the rain! Just wanted to say a big thank you for a lovely first half term. The children have all settled in really well and we've had a really busy 7 weeks. Here are a few pictures of some of our activities.

St Fagans - Our trip to St Fagans was great fun and the children's behaviour was wonderful. They enjoyed looking at all the different houses and thought of lots of questions to ask the guides.

I don't think that they found the inside of the Celtic Hut very confortable!

They thoroughly enjoyed their picnic!

As a follow up activity we had a class wash day. We each had a turn at grating the soap and then washing a sheet from our Three Bear cottage. A washing machine is a lot easier!

Then we each took a turn at beating our class rug - lots of aching arms!

Our Special Rooms - A huge thank you to everyone who donated junk materials and shoe boxes. As you can see they went to good use!

First of all we used multilink to measure our shoe boxes.

Next we used rulers.



We fitted floors, wall covering and then furniture.



The finished product. I think we have a few potential interior designers in our class!



Congratulations to Ben, Oliver  and Luke who have been our last three Seren yr Wythnos winners.

Just a reminder to bring wellies into school next week. It would be great if each child can keep a pair of wellies in school this term, it 'll mean that we can take the children out and about whatever the weather.

Enjoy the rest of the week and see you all on Monday.

What a busy week!

First of all well done to Charlotte Watts who was our Seren Yr Wythnos this week. Our other Seren Yr Wythnos awards this term have gone to Leah King, Cory Boundford and Layla Williams. Well done to you all!

Our Three Bears Cottage is well and truly up and running now and the children are thoroughly enjoying playing in it. Thank you for the donations of bedding and costumes - we now have our three beds, our three bowls and our three chairs. We could still do with some more Three Bears costumes, so if you have anything suitable tucked away we'd be really grateful.

The children are really enjoying learning about materials in Knowledge and Understanding and have been on several walks around the school to spot things made of wood and plastic. They have also been busy labelling wood and plastic objects around the classroom.

We have now moved on from comparing the outside of old and new houses to thinking about the inside. Next week we will be concentrating on how life in the kitchen and cooking has changed. The children will get the chance to make Welsh Cakes during the week (if anyone doesn't want their child to participate in this please let me know) which should be lots of fun!

We will also be starting our designs for our special rooms so please send in your donations of shoe boxes and junk materials.

Looking forward to another fun and busy week.

See you Monday.

Mrs Utting-Lawson.
