St Fagans

Dani M Leave a comment

On Wednesday, our class and Year 5 were lucky enough to visit St Fagans as part of our topic on ‘Children of the Revolution’. We took part in two informative workshops.

We became Victorian children and experienced what life was like in a Victorian School. We learnt the 3R’s by a very strict teacher. We also travelled through time from 1800’s to the present day of how life in Wales has evolved over time and how lifestyles changed.

It was a fun filled, historical and hands on day where we learnt lots of interesting information through first hand experience which will help us throughout our topic.

Every class has been hard at work this week during Business Week to prepare ready for Alltwen’s version of ‘Dragon’s Den’ on Monday, where each class has to pitch their product to Mr Hyett and ask for a sum of money to enable them to make their product to sell in our school fête.

This is where each class becomes very competitive (and it’s not just the children).

Topic Homework – Summer Term

This term, our homework was topic based where we had to create a presentation on ‘comparing seasides during 1920’s to today’. We had to include as much information as possible and find out lots of similarities and differences between the two time periods.

“It took me hours to complete, but I enjoyed researching information. I learnt that in the 1920’s they had donkey rides and puppet shows. We don’t see this much today at the beach.” Seren P

“The 1920’s was famous for their hats and went to the beach in posh clothes and frilly dresses.”  Bella P

Topic Homework – Summer Term

This term, our homework was topic based where we had to create a presentation on ‘Home is where the heart is’ where we compared Pontardawe to coastal towns such as Port Eynon. We had to include as much information as possible and find out lots of similarities and differences between the two towns. We had to include pictures, factual information and present it on double A4 paper. We had 3 weeks to complete the project.

We all enjoyed being creative in our work and developing our research skills in a fun and exciting way.

Some interesting facts which we found out was are:

  • Port Eynon is a seasonal town and Pontardawe is not.
  • The population in Pontardawe is 7,000 and Port Eynon only has 574 residents.
