"Beneath Your Feet" by Meadow Cook
"At first I found this work quite difficult as I did not know what I was going to write about. But I soon got used to it and it became fun!The whole writing journey was very long, but I am really proud of my work and it being on display in the classroom. It is the most I have ever written."
"The Great Disaster" by Deian Morgan
"This whole story just came to me and my last name is Morgan so my main character is called Morgan. I found writing my story easier that I thought because I don't normally like writing but I enjoyed writing this! My story was read to the Deputy Head Teacher and read aloud to the whole class and shared with the Welsh Heritage Judges."
DCF - Collaborative websites
As a year group we colloborated to produce our own websites on "Cynefin Cwmlai". We loved working together and are very proud of the work completed. We used so many skills such as adding attachments and hyperlinks, independent research, creating and sharing hyperlinks and uploading files from a local drive to name just a few! Please find below some examples of our websites.
