Fables

We started the term by introducing fables. The children really enjoyed listening to a range of traditional fables and discussing what happened in each story. They were particularly engaged in identifying the moral, sharing thoughtful ideas about the messages and lessons the characters learned. This helped pupils understand that stories can teach us important values as well as entertain us.

Making predictions

The class were very excited when I introduced our new class book. I didn’t show them the front cover and only told them the title, which they all found hysterical. They then created their own front covers based on what they thought it might look like. We had lots of discussion, and I was really impressed with their ideas.

Story Writing

We created our own stories based on the book The Fart That Saved the Universe. We wrote a WMTG (What Makes This Good?) to ensure we knew what to include in our stories and used this as a guide while writing. We edited our stories with our partners and used TAG feedback to help each other reflect on our work and give encouragement on how the stories could be improved.

Eisteddfod

Handwriting

We wrote the Welsh National Anthem in our best handwriting, taking care to form our letters neatly and accurately.

Poems

We discussed what Wales means to the children and talked about the symbols they think of when they think about Wales. The Year 3 children created a poem called “A Recipe for Wales”, and the Year 4 children wrote a poem called “A Pocketful of Wales”.

Healthy Habits

The children had a discussion about ways to stay healthy. They shared ideas about eating nutritious food, exercising regularly, washing hands, getting enough sleep, and spending time outdoors. After the discussion, each child wrote down their own healthy habits.

Shadows!

We have been learning about light and how we see things in Dosbarth Coch. We have learnt that "dark" is the absence of light and we havebeen exploring how shadows are made!!

Here are some photos of us playing with light and making shadow with torches 🔦

Pointillism

Eisteddfod Art

For our Eisteddfod, we discussed what is important to us in our school. The children identified several key things, including the school buildings and our classroom. However, one feature that stood out most was the oak tree. We decided to draw the oak tree and then paint it using pointillism techniques that we have been learning over the past couple of weeks.
