We have had a fun packed week in Year 1/2.

In Literacy we enjoyed talking about all of the exciting things we had been up to on the weekend. We made a list of all these actions.  We found out we had been swimming, playing, running, watching and reading. Mrs Edmund’s told us how these actions are called VERBS. We worked in our groups to change them into past tense, e.g. walk/walked, play/played!!

 

In Numeracy we practised writing our numbers in our neatest handwriting. We were very good at remembering to write the numbers the right way round! We also learnt how to double numbers using our fingers, numicon and with multi-link. We set our friends a doubling challenge with ladybird spots.

 

Our favourite lessons this week has been finding out more things about the Egyptians. We were very surprised to find out that everyone loved to wear make-up! We are really looking forward to spending time in our Cleopatra’s Jewellers next week (Thank You for all your kind donations)

 

We will be bringing home consent forms today for our school trip to the Egyptian Museum on Thursday 10th October.  We can’t wait!!

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.

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.
