St Fagans visit

We had a great time on Monday in St Fagans, especially in Ysgol Maestir. We were able to see at first hand all we had spotted in photographs and books. We spotted all sorts- slates, inkwells, coal fire, back straightener, Bible, cane and the Welsh Not. We also played on the yard with skipping ropes and cup and balls. Diolch yn fawr iawn to all our helpers for coming with us.

What a great week!

We've been busy busy busy in class 8 - each afternoon a different group went to do Forest School activities with the Support staff team.  each group learnt the "sticky elbows" trick then went and built a giant bird's nest . They then pretended to be birds and sat in the nest! We had herons, falcons, woodpeckers and seagulls! Diolch yn fawr goes to the forest school team for taking us. We can't wait for our turn to come around again!
Don't forget our trip to St Fagans on Monday - coat with a hood and a packed lunch please! We are really excited to go to the old school and have thought of a million questions to ask!
Da iawn Jared Dickson - our first Seren yr Wythnos winner for fabulous maths work. We have enjoyed meeting some new characters in our maths lessons this week - the Pobble who has no toes (he counts in ones) and Bisky Bat (counts in tens) and Midgard the dragon (helps us organise ourselves when we are counting a large amount) . I believe it's the Blue Baboon next week - just in time for our blue investigation table . I hope you have been thinking about an unusual item you can bring in....
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Decaro

Croeso - class eight is great!

Helo bawb!
What a lovely start to a school year - everyone full of ideas on how to make class eight great - ranging from being kind to all, always tidying up after ourselves to speaking Welsh as much as we can! Bendigedig! I hope you have all received the letter outlining our plans for this year!
Don't forget to send in wellies this week - it is our turn to take part in Forest school activities - a diffferent group every afternoon. also - PE day is Wednesday.
We have already started to set up our Optician Role play corner - and have decided together on its name - Eye Spy (diolch Hallie for that suggestion!)
Here's to a great year!
Mrs Decaro and Mrs Porter
