Bwrw eira_hwre!!!!!!

I hope you are all having fun in the snow....and taking care , of course!
Did you all make a snowman or another snow sculpture? What about making snow angels, tobogganing or trudging through the snow? I went for a looooong walk yesterday (all wrapped up) and saw some really great snowmen on my travels....... I can't wait to hear all about your snowy adventures and see some photographs next week. Don't forget to notice the temperature!

Hwyl fawr!

Blwyddyn Newydd dda!

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a good Christmas and are now settled back to school. I am sorry I couldn't be with you this week but I will be back on Monday - and don't forget I will be able to hear every single thing now- so watch out!
I hear you have already started on our new topic - Let's explore- weather and toys! I am looking forward to hearing about your ideas for the role play - Mrs Hargreaves said you had lots! Also - I hope you all brought in your favourite toy on Thursday - I wonder which one was the most popular? Hmmmmm......
Don't forget to cover your writing book this weekend - be as creative as you like! I am looking forward to seeing what you choose to write about when you visit the writing table...
Look out for the weather forecast this weekend  - they say it might snow....brrrr- I wonder what the temperature will be then?
See you Monday!
Hwyl fawr!

St fagans here we come....!

I hope you all had a lovely half term holiday! Perhaps lots of you enjoyed hallowe'en and bonfire night celebrations. I hope you all kept safe!
Now we are moving on in our theme of "Ble wyt ti'n byw?"  to think about how homes have changed over the years. I hope you have thought of some questions to ask ready for our visit to St Fagans on Wednesday......I want to know how did people manage before there was electricty? ......I can't wait to visit the old houses......Don't forget  a packed lunch, a coat with a hood and your investigating brains........

Bring in your (clean) junk!

Please can you bring in suitable items to make doll's houses, complete with furniture! Hunt for shoe boxes, fabric remnants and bits and bobs.....You will be working in small groups to plan and make a doll's house that can be used as a play item for the nursery! Bring them in next week please! Diolch yn fawr!
I heard I missed an amazing lesson today - composing music to go with The Hairy Scary castle song....You were so imaginative, Miss Clack, our student is going to set up a composing corner in our area......!
Our work on the Jewish festival Sukkot  was very interesting - I hope you told your parents all about it!
looking forward to Harvest festival next week!

hwyl!

A busy start!

What a busy first few weeks in class 8. We have all settled well, including our new member of the class - Rhys Morgan - croeso Rhys! Our topic "Ble wyt ti'n byw?" is well under way and children are coming up with their own ideas regarding what they would like to learn. I hope you all received our newsletter outlining how you can support your child's learning at home. The children are enjoying various literacy activities based around the Winnie the Witch books - and peruaded me to set up a Winnie role play in the classroom - great fun. We have been writing our own magic spells - diolch Jack for your unique spell book - or smell book as you've called it! We all went to forest school this week - please remember to bring in wellies if you have not already done so! And a reminder - PE day is Monday! hwyl am y tro! Mrs Decaro and Mrs Porter
