Waw! What a busy week! This week we went on our trip to Llancaiach Fawr learn about the Tudors as part of our new topic Off With Her Head. We learnt lots of new things about the life of children during Tudor times and have lots of new traditional games to play.
In English, we have been learning about adjectives and adverbs, using them to add interest into our sentences.
In Maths, we’ve been using our knowledge of place value to add and subtract 2 digit numbers.
Year 3
What a lovely way to share all of our hard work over the last few weeks! The work the children produced was incredible from Nursery through to Year 5. A lot of time and effort has gone into creating them. Diolch to all pupils and to parents/guardians for all your support.
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).
