We had a fabulous time at the pantomime. We really enjoyed going on the bus and we loved the music and songs in the show. We were all superstars!

Autumn 2 - Wythnos 6

In expressive arts this week we have been looking at the welsh artist Rhiannon Roberts, We have been exploring with acrylic and waterpaints to create our own art work. This week we focused on the background using bright colours, ready to set out our scenes of Wales and getting ready to add Christmas symbols.

Autumn 2 - Wythnos 5

This week we have been busy preparing for our Enterprise by making and then decorating our cakes.

Autumn 2 - Wythnos 4

This week we had a cake decorating lesson from our own school cook. She has shown us the techniques and designs we will use next week in preparation for our Frost Fayre.

Autumn 2 - Wythnos 3

In our theme work we have been learning about our cooks job role, she gave us a tour of the kitchen and spoke to us about all of her jobs. She showed us where she gets and stores our food too. This will help us to think about what utensils, tools and ingredients we might need to prepare for our Enterprise project.

Autumn 2 - Wythnos 2

We have had a busy week celebrating Anti-bullying week, Remembrance day and Children in need. All of these celebrations reminded us to be kind and use our power for good. We have had lots of fun creating sock superhero puppets, we have explored the provision to create poppies and Shelter's for the soldiers in the block play. We were also very lucky to have a special visitor a Paediatric nurse into our class who let us explore her equipment and helped to tell us about her role. What a busy week!

Autumn 2 - Wythnos 1

We have had a fabulous first week back. In our theme we had our DIP day we came in dressed as something we wanted to be when we grow up. We had some fantastic outfits and inquiries of what we want to know more about. We loved looking for dinosaur bone, pretending to be engineers with some tinkering objects to create metal cars. We enjoyed dressing up in a range of outfits and we made various constructions in the blocks to be builders. A great start to our World of Work theme.

Autumn 1 Wythnos 8

We started off the week by learning about Diwali, the festival of lights. We made some salt dough and used our fine motor skills and ability to listen to instructions to create a diya. We also explored this in the provision creating Mendhi and rangoli patterns which linked well with our shape knowledge in maths this week.

Autumn 1 Wythnos 7

We started our Cymru a fi theme in our topic work this week. We looked at the Welsh emblems, and we celebrated Shwmae day singing our Shwmae song and making Shwmae cards for our friends. In our outdoor learning we worked in small groups to plant some daffodils ready for the spring term.

Wythnos 6

Another fabulous week here in Dosbarth Chepstow celebrating all things Autumn and Harvest. We listened to the story “The little red hen” and we made hedgehog bread following rules and using the scissors safely to make snips for his spikes. We have also been growing our own cress which in our literacy lesson we later talked about instructions. We have also been practising our Harvest song to perform to the rest of the school in our Harvest assembly.

This week we have started to learn about Harvest. We have been out in the school grounds looking for fruits and vegetables to harvest ourselves, we found apples, pears, onions and courgettes. We explored these and used some for printing and tasting. We ended the week by making apple crumble using the apples we had collected in the school grounds.

Wythnos 4

This week in our outdoor learning we continued our use of our senses, and we went on an autumn scavenger hunt observing the signs of Autumn. In our theme work we started to look at basic maps. We looked at familiar places observing photos of our outside area. We organised the photos to create a simple map to identify how we got to the meadow.

What a fabulous week we have had here in Dosbarth Chepstow as part of our Science week! We have been showing curiosity and developing our observation skills.

Our main inquiry was focused on changes. Our I wonder… (Tybed …) question was “How does it change?” We made biscuits observing how the ingredients looked at the beginning of our cooking lesson and the changes made when cooked. Our final experiment was observing how pinecones can help us to identify the weather. We learnt that when we wet a pinecone it will close up and when it is warm it will open up to show its spikes.

This week we held a show and tell session sharing our favourite objects. Our focus this week has been 'All about me'. In literacy we read the story, Do you like? We have been learning how to be good listeners by asking each other the question: Do you like…? We could recall this to the group. We recorded our friends' responses to create our own class book. We started our expressive arts focus for the month using the medium of paint and learning our primary colours. We have been looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky, using circles to experiment with circular marks.

We have had a fantastic first week here in Dosbarth Chepstow. We have started to settle into our new classrooms by meeting our new friends and exploring the new environment. We sang lots of songs and read lots of stories about rules and families. We created a family portrait too.
