Llwyfen (Elm)

 Week 2 30th March 2020

Hello everybody!

 I've been monitoring who has been doing what. I'm glad to see some of you have started reading and quite a few have been on abacus games. Don't forget you have lots of 2dos on Purple Mash as well. Hope your Golden 50 scores are still improving!!! 

World Book Day 2020.

In dosbarth Llwyfen, we are all hooked on books. We dressed up as our favourite book character and we ahd a story swap session. We are all going to increase our reading and try to share a million stories. 

HAPPY READING !

Wow where has this half term gone?

We've really enjoyed our Animal Magic topic. We've put Sir David Attenborough out of a job creating our own Planet Earth style documentaries. We've composed and performed our own Animal Magic song with the Songwriting Doctor. We've found out about the habitat of different animals and how they have adapted to their environment. We've created food chains and identified animals that are predators and prey.

Our data handling skills have  developed because we've been creating graphs to show how certain species have been declining over the past 20 years. We've used thinking maps to help us classify animals.

Our Celf Cymraeg week has been gwych! We studied the art of Sir Kyffin Williams and we've created our own Welsh mountain landscapes inspired by his work.

These 6 weeks have flown by! No wonder we need a holiday!!!

Croeso i Ddosbarth Llwyfen!

Hello from Dosbarth Llwyfen.  We are a lovely class of Y4/5 pupils.  Our teacher is Mrs Sandford and Mrs Angove is our teaching assistant.

We still do our spelling test and Golden 50 on a Friday. Who will be the Golden 50 champion this term???

Reptile magic.

This afternoon we launched our Animal Magic topic with a fantastic visit from Barry Reptiles. We were able to ask loads of questions and find out more about various reptiles. We loved letting the 16ft python slide over us. Mrs Sandford .... not so much !!!

ANIMAL MAGIC 2020.

Dosbarth Llwyfen have decided we want to learn about animals. We've got loads of questions , tons of things we want to find out and we've even identified some skills we will develop along the way!

We've started by collaborating and researching the characteristics of vertebrates. We're using thinking maps to show what we found out. 

We have been making Celtic houses  with wood, hot glue and saws that aren't dangerous.We worked in teams and had lots of fun making them. A teacher helped us with the hot glue gun and saws so that we can not hurt ourselves.We used sanding paper for the wooden sticks.We used our planning sheets to help us to make the Celtic houses.We used hay to make the thatched roof and we used clay and paper for the wattle and daub walls.We used our maths to measure the wooden sticks so that they could be the right length.
