Village Walk

Yesterday we made the most of the lovely March weather and went for a Geography walk into the village. The children had to follow the route on a map and were looking to see what buildings and shops there were.

After that we went to the park and had lots of fun!!

Fruit Tasting and Village Walk

The children have been tasting fruits that are grown in Africa. Most liked the mango and watermelon because they were sweet and juicy. Not many of us liked the passion fruit though because it was very sharp and quite sour.

Big Wide World

Class 4 are working hard on their topic 'The Big Wide World'. They have found out alot of  information about Iceland and are now beginning to find out about the African country Botswana. 


The children have also been developing their painting skills over the last few weeks. They have learned how to mix colours and have painted landscapes using hot and cold colours. This week they used hot colours to create an African Landscape at Sunset.

A new Spring Term!

The children have been really busy finding out all about 'The Big Wide World' which is our new topic for the term. They have carried out a Llanharry Weather Survey and have compared our weather last week to the weather in Iceland! The children have also used globes and atlases to find Wales and Iceland. They were able to talk to our visitor Becky about her travels to Iceland. She told them about the cold and dark, what she had to wear, what she ate, and also about all the geographical features she saw. This week we hope to go on a walk into the village of Llanharry to look at the features of our own locality.

Festive Fun!

What a busy week we have had. First we enjoyed the Pantomime, Peter Pan on Monday. The children really enjoyed their Christmas Party on Wednesday. Jonno the Magician was amazing and very funny too.

 

 

On Thursday Class 4 made Rudolph Truffles.

 

 

Merry Christmas. See You in January 2014 when our new topic will be 'The Big Wide World!

Our visit to Pontyclun Fire Station

We all enjoyed our trip to the fire station today. First we were told a story about Tanni who played with matches and accidentally caused a fire. Luckily it all ended well as nobody got hurt. We learned about how to keep safe.

Then we went all got to try on a firefighters helmet. We were really surprised at how heavy it was.

Then we all went in to the fire engine. The steps were really high!,

Finally it was time to go home. A big thank you to Pontyclun fire station. We all really enjoyed our trip and learned how to keep safe.
