Rhondda Cynon Taff's Sumdog Competition
Congratulations Dosbarth Efydd for winning the Inter County Sumdog Maths Competition.
The class worked hard and encouraged each other and were very proud of themselves and each other.
We were class winners and had some individual winners too.
Year 4 competed in handwriting, art and poetry!
All children worked extremely hard on their entries. Congratulations to all of our winners!
The children continued to learn how to be involved in healthy competition whilst learning about and being proud of thir heritage.
Dosbarth Efydd explored the work of local artist Jenny Lambert. Our Eisteddfod winner replicated Castell Coch.
We also explored other Welsh areas of interest including Nash Point, Tenby and Laugharne.
Dosbarth Efydd had some proud winners. The class learnt to be proud of their friends too.
The whole school decorated their classroom doors with stories from the Mabinogion or other Welsh fairy tales. Dosbarth Efydd decided to explore the story of Blodeuwedd.
OUR TRIP TO TECHNIQUEST
Year 4 had a very informative and hands on trip to Techniquest. They learnt a lot about Space and also had plenty of opportunities to find out for themselves how Science works!
Congratulations to Ieuan who represented Cwmlai at the Welsh schools table tennis championships this year alongside pupils from Year 5 & 6!
Year 4 had the opportunity to do paired reading with classes from the Foundation Phase. This was a valuable experience, enjoyed by all.
We also had the chance to fill our KS2 library with new books. We decided to create a swapping library, where once books have been read, they can be exchanged.
