Golden Time Gardening Group.

 WANTED: Plants, seeds, bulbs, compost, bird seed!

Every Friday Ms. Hopkins and myself take a group into the school courtyard to do some gardening.  We have bought plants, compost, bird seed and so on but would appreciate any donations you may have at home.  If your parents or other family members have any seeds, bulbs, compost or plant cuttings they no longer want, please don't throw them away!  We would welcome them in the courtyard.  The children that have become our gardening group have worked really hard and are always ready to plant more!

We are also keen to keep feeding the birds out there.  We have a bird table and feeding stand.  Winter is on its way and the birds are going to need looking after.  Any left over bird seed or crusts of bread can be sent in too!

Diolch yn fawr!  Thank you very much!

Miss. K. Jones.

Flour Babies!

Today Class 6 were lucky enough to spend the morning working with drama expert Paul Gibbons. The children and I had a fantastic and fun filled day acting out scenes and scenarios which the children helped to create themselves. 
By the end of the day the children had gone from finding 3 puppies to running an animal rescue center and looking after a 'flour' baby!! 
All the children stayed in character and joined in fully, this allowed them to really shine and show their full potential. This project will run within Class 6 for about the next 2 weeks, leading up to Paul's next visit, which both the children and myself are certainly looking forward to.
Throughout this project the children will never be wrong, we will follow their suggestions and ideas to create some wonderful work! 


This afternoon the children decided that they would like to take it in turns to look after the 'flour' baby for a day and write a diary entry about it, keep an eye out for these little bundles of joy coming home to you!
