FRUIT / Ffrwyth
Every morning, the children may buy a healthy snack for 20p or £1 for the week. The Year 6 children wash and sell the fruit and count our earnings. We use any profit to buy some special extras for the children in their lessons.
WATER BOTTLES/ Poteli Dwr
We are trying to reduce the number of bottles we throw away so are
encouraging the children to bring a water bottle to school or buy a Greenway one for £1.50, available from the school office. They may fill it at the fresh water fountain. They can keep this in class and re hydrate throughout the day.

Tymor yr Hydref - Autumn Term
Topic: TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
This term our topic is: "To Infinity and Beyond!". We will be learning about the Solar System, the Moon Landing, stars, The Moon and "The Hidden Figures" who helped the Apollo 11 land on the moon. As always the learners will choose the learning they want to do.
We have loved using VR Goggles to experience what life would be like in space.
We used the Internet to help us with our line drawings, plus a variety of paint effects, to create some astronomical astronaut art!
Glamorgan Cricket Project
We are lucky enough to have a new partnership with Glamorgan Cricket Club where
we will be learning how to play cricket, learn about the history of the sport and find out information about countries that play cricket.
Our project started with a trip to the home of Glamorgan Cricket- Sophia Gardens. We had a great day playing cricket, touring the stadium and tryin on different cricket jerseys from around the world. Thank you Glamorgan CC for a really enjoyable day.
Spring 2024: Gayle Rogers Art (Welsh Castles)
Our visit to Glamorgan Cricket Club- Sophia Gardens
Missions- To Infinity and Beyond. Here is a range of work we have done on our Creation Station, Communication Station, Calculation Station and Investigation Station
Training like an Astronaut- We have been practising our agility, team work, reactions and fitness just like astronauts would when they train for a mission!
First Aid Training- We were lucky enough to have first aid training. We learnt how to bandage, recovery position, who to call in an emergency and even tried CPR. What a great life skill to have!
Year 5 are learning about the Welsh artist Shani Rhys James. She often paints with cloths, knives and other implements, so we did too. Children used mirrors to check details of their own features and expressions, just as she does.
