AoLE (Y5 Spring)
Our trip to the Big Pit
Having such a good time exploring the various displays
Exploring the outdoors too!
We were fascinated with the Pit Pony Charter
We researched our own family trees and were surprised to discover we had so many miners in our family.
Christabel discovered she was named after a suffragette...
You can see we had so many different styles of family trees...
Some hand drawn and some sent for on-line!
Noah Mings Family Tree.pdfHER STORY:
In Dosbarth Gwyrdd, we did a group project in groups of 6 to research and present women's roles down the mines and what other roles they played through history. We displayed our group presentations on the walls of the classroom.
In Dosbarth Gwyn, we did a lot of reaserch on women in history such as the suffragettes, completed comprehensions and a timeline!
We have HISTORY or HERSTORY but we also have OUR STORY which we were set to do as homework. So many of us could not believe how many miners and what the women in our family did for WW1 and WW2. We were VERY proud to bring in our work and have it on display in our classroom.
Miners strikes 6th March 1984 to 3rd March 1985
What life was like in the mines:

An artist who created art showing Welsh miners and what life was like down the pits.

We re-created some of Valerie Ganz work ourselves. This piece of art was entitled, Red Flask.
We created our own style of "pit art", silhouettes with water-colours depicting the landscapes created by Welsh Pits.
We made "Save the pits!" Miners strike placards:
With slogans like: Coal not dole! NUPE supports the miners! Dig Deep for the Miners! Closed minds close mines! Put people first! Closing pits kills our futures!
As well as posters we designed our own badges to wear
We were such "Creative Cariad's"
