Meet The Teacher - Mrs McCormick- Dosbarth Cardiff

Summer 1 Week 3

This week we labelled the continents and oceans and placed animals in their native countries. Some of us went out to label some countries too. We have developed a love of atlases too.

Summer 1 Week 2

As part of our Cymru y Fi topic Prince Llewellyn, the last Prince of Wales we have loved learning this song. It has a very catchy tune. We have all learnt chorus and some of us have learnt the verses too.

Summer 1

Week 1

We have been learning about Prince Llewellyn the last Prince of Wales. We built Prince Llewellyn’s castle and put his flag on it. Great teamwork pawb!

We had a fantastic trip to St Fagans where we learnt about old toys and had a play with some too. We enjoyed visiting the old cottages, walking around and seeing the baby lambs and the park of course!

Week 5

Our assembly on Friday was on the “Carnival of the Animals,” by Camille Saint-Saens. We clapped the beat to the Introduction, danced to different music and played percussion instruments to the Finale piece. We loved our parents coming in to see us perform.

Week 4

We are developing our green fingers outside! We have weeded our planter, turned over the soil and planted wild flowers and rhubarb. We have also planted sunflowers.

Week 3

In our Science Week we have been learning about the force of wind. We know that wind is moving air. We used a fan inside to feel moving air. We predicted which objects the fan would move and carried out a test. We then went outside to try and get the kite to fly, make our own kites and paper aeroplanes! Lots of fun!

Spring Term 2

Week 2

This week we started Child Pedestrian Training. We have been learning how to look for a safe place to cross the road.

Week 1

Mrs McCormick took some unwanted items to Barnado's in half term and she asked the children had they ever heard of this shop. The children then went on to learn about charity shops and how Barnado's started. We went back to the Victorian times to learn about the work of Dr Barnado and then decided as a class to write letters asking if we could donate something to the charity to help children.

Spring Term 1

Spring 1 Week 7

We celebrated St David’s Day and our Eisteddfod on Friday. We enjoyed taking part in all the competitions and learning about St David and the symbols of Wales.

Spring 1 Week 6

It was Internet Safety Day this week and we learned how to keep safe online. We talked in partners about different scenarios and what we would do to keep safe. We have lots of sensible children in Dosbarth Cardiff who gave us sensible answers. Gwaith Da!

Spring 1 Week 5

During our Jigsaw lesson Mrs McCormick gave us a challenge. Can we work as a team to

produce a garden for our dream birds? Some of us found this tricky as we didn't want to compromise on our ideas! Here they are!

Spring 1 Week 4

We have been learning about weaving. First, we made a loom frame with sticks, elastic bands and string. This was quite tricky as the frame kept moving and we had to learn to tie a knot. The we went outside to cut natural things and weaved them in the loom frame using and under technique.

Spring 1 Week 3

In our topic, Tegannau we learnt about how children use to make their own toys a long time ago. We made wooden spoons puppets and described their clothes using our Welsh. Da iawn pawb!

Spring 1 Week 2

To begin our new theme, "Tegannau" we brought in our favourite toys from home. We talked about why they were our favourite and let others play with them too.
