Our Library Visit

We love walking to Pontypridd Library.  We chose lots of books to read back in the classroom.  Whilst we were in the Library Mrs Sheppeard and Mrs Pugh read us a story.  We really enjoyed listening to it, even the teddies enjoyed it too. We are looking forward to reading the books back in school.

Travel Agents

Our role play area this term has been changed to the Travel Agents.  We walked to Thomas Cook to find out about the jobs they do.  We saw customers changing money into Euros and we also booked holidays on the computer. We looked at holiday brochures and dreamed of far away lands. Lots of people came in to the shop to book holidays and change money.  We can now book our own holidays back in school just like they do in Thomas Cook.

Italy

As we were exploring different countries as part of our topic, we explored Italy.  We looked at different traditions and foods. The children decided they wanted to make pizza.  They chose their own toppings for the pizza and said they tasted delicious.

Science Week

As part of our Science Week we explored floating and sinking.  We made boats out of plasticine and investigated which shapes floated the best. It was quite tricky but we managed to make some of the boats float.

Our Knex visit

Everybody enjoyed our visit to the Historical Centre.  We were set a challenge to make a vehicle using Knex.  We were given a motor to make them move.  We tried all sorts of designs and had lots of fun doing them.

All about Poland

Mrs Edwards came into school to tell us all about Poland.  We asked her lots of questions and she told us about the food, traditions and stories of Poland. She also taught us to say greetings in Polish.  Thankyou Mrs Edwards for sharing your experiences in your home country.

Our Visit to the Garden Centre

On Tuesday Years 1 and 2 visited Woodland Walk Garden Centre.  We looked at the different flowers and trees and hunted for objects.  We all went into Hoots Cafe for a welsh cake and a drink and we had a lovely time.

Greece

Over the last 2 weeks we have been looking at Greece. The way they live, their culture, history and myths. We had a fabulous time trying traditional Greek dancing and smashing (tearing) plates. Afterwards we tried Greek food, we had pitta bread, koftas, olives, feta cheese, houmous, tzitzki dip and carrots, tomatoes. cucumber and pepper to dip with. Look at us having fun in our photos.
