Llangranog part one

Well dear all,
  this Wednesday we set off on our epic adventure to Llangranog. What fun we had, probably Mr Parry more than Mrs Jones and I. Last year I somehow found myself on the "high ropes". An event I thought I ought to give a miss this year! Here are some photos to enjoy.

 

Ready or not, here I come!

 

Well hello, I think I should go too!

 

Last minute encouragement from Mr Parry.

 

So far so good!

Definitely time for a photo opportunity.

 

What goes up must come down (the climbing wall).

 

The mud assault course - permission to get dirty! Really dirty!!

 

They don't mind to get muddy, look at those smiles!

 

Really? Oh yes, that was so necessary!

 

If you can't beat them, you must join them !

 

Nishenka!! What did you do to Mr Parry ?!

 

Well Mr Parry, you don't look too unhappy about it !

Well super muddy, super fun and super teacher!

Thank you Mr Parry for representing Mrs Jones and I in this activity!

As part of our "sixties" theme we loved listening to the music of this period. The children then formed their own groups and decided on a song to be covered by them. There was a frantic pace of practising their songs in the last cpouple of weeks and theeir performance last week Monday was lovely to watch and hear. The lyrics of songs were mainly changed and the tune remained to support them. I was very proud of their efforts and we took videos their musical efforts.  here are some photos of the groups.

A super effort to Charlie's band which made an impromtu collection which went to Velindre Hospital!!

 

Seren's group who turned their song into a fruit munching, vegetable crunching message for all !

The girls' sixtet featuring a violin intro by the musical Sian !

 

Alex's group visualized their strong lyrics with some acting support from Max.

 

This girl group was "California Dreaming", 

Don't you just love Ffion's dress ?

Excellent "sixties"costumes

 

Anything the girls can do we can do too !

This is definitely a Hippie, Mod and Rocker Combo !

Yes it's me again Mrs. Saye,

  I am on a roll now that this Firefox browser let's me be a blogger again!!

Our last term's topic was "Mods and Rockers" which the pupils thoroughly enjoyed.  As part of this theme we went back in time and looked at what kind of music the youngsters listened to in the period of the "sixties".  Some of our pupils hadn't the fun of listening to LP's and really didn't know much about them.  So we decided to make our own LP sleeve and put a pretend LP in it.  Here are some results for you to see.

 

This is Max with his "Happy Hippies" LP cover.

 Sian's "Hippie Mania" on a "VW Campervan" road trip.

There is Seren with her colourful poodle group!

 

Henry's Enterprise with the "Complete Collection".

 

Bethan's group "Shine" let's it all out!

Space Education

Dear parents,

  sorry for the delay in blogging as I had some technical problems attaching photos.
We have had a busy term having gone straight into Inspection week after the Easter break.  The class is currently enjoying special science workshops delivered by Astro-Cymru on behalf of ESERO the european space organisation.  We started off with a 3d cinematic experience about space and we also looked into the nutrition of astronauts.  This week we are looking forward to a space rocket workshop.

This is Emma talking about a massive dinosaur claw in the previous workshop about meteorites and fossils.

I expect tha James never thought that he would touch fossilized "dinosaur poo"!!

Growing Our Own!

All of us in Class 5 were really excited last week when we harvested the first crop from our vegetable patch. Many weeks after sowing the seeds, watering them every day and thinning out the seedlings, we had a bumper crop of radishes!

After Mrs. Jones cleaned and washed them, we all enjoyed tasting the radishes......they were yummy!

We obviously have many greenfingers in Class 5 to have such a good crop and there are plenty of other vegetables flowering outside Class 5 too! We also may have had a little help from the brilliant scarecrows made by the class for homework over the Easter holidays.....well done everyone, da iawn!

Here are a selection of Class 5 scarecrows with their creators....they're doing a great job in our veg patch!
