INSERT 4 PURPOSES CHARACTERS

LAUNCH OF MONSTER PHONICS

We have a new phonics scheme launched this term called "Monster Phonics" with each class given a sound and a character at random.

Dosbarth Gwyn were the black cats - check out our video to introduce our sound and character to parents...

Dosbarth Arian were the 'U-Hoo' sound.

CARDIFF BAY URDD RESIDENTIAL

What an amazing time we had for the Cardiff Bay Urdd Residential trip which included -

🏊 Swimming 🛥️ Speed Boat

⛸️Ice skating 🧗 Fun HQ

🎳Bowling

So may of us were taken completely out of our comfort zone especially with the speed boat (with some us never having experienced being on a fast, motorised boat) and climbing (which many of us had never attempted before) but we all showed great resilience and perseverance and certainly capable of tackling challenges! WE ARE SO PROUD OF OURSELVES 🤩🤗

❤️🤍💙VE Day - 80 year celebration!❤️🤍💙

We celebrated VE Day with the rest of the school outside on the field. We had some party food and some music in the sun.

Enterprise Week - Cwmlai Cafe

Well what a week we had! We started off with a name for our cafe which we decided should be CAFFI CWMLAI

Next we designed a logo for our cafe and William was chosen as the winner. Llongyfarchiadau William!

WHAT TO SELL?

This was followed by deciding what we would sell. We had a great discussion as a Year 5 and came up with many ideas such as -

Ice cream 🍦 Tea ☕ Pop 🥤

Lolly pops 🍭 Coffee ☕

Welsh cakes 🥮 Chocolate Bars 🍫

Fruit 🍇🍉🍎 Biscuits 🍪

Our next decision was what to actually sell as we wanted to keep it to a few items. We decided on tea, coffee and some snacks such as chocolate and biscuits as we thought these items would be the most popular (and we had to bear in mind that we were going to sell to adults and not children). We learned this was called our TARGET AUDIENCE.

DESIGNING A POSTER

We then designed a poster including our chosen logo, the products that we were selling, alongside their prices and additional information that we believed would be relevant. Alexi's poster was voted the most practical for our Caffi Cwmlai launch. We posted our poster on dojo for the families of Cwmlai. We learnt that creating an advertisment and posting it on social media platforms is a form of digital marketing, which linked in quite nicely to our topic.

We also thought it would be a good idea to add a slogan for our new business venture. Ollie came up with 'Serving and earning as one' which supports our school slogan.
