Here is some information about Miss Cheney so that you can get to know her a little better. Ask her about paper cutting - it is so lovely!
This week we prepared our planter and planted our radish and lettuce seeds hopefully they'll be ready for our picnic at the end of term!
This week we have been learning about film-making techniques. We spent some time researching before we write our own explanation texts.
We learned all about time last week, we started by making our own clocks outside before taking what we had learned inside to work in our books. Llawer o hwyl!
We were visited by Alex @ Gwent Police to talk to us about the Fatal 4. We were shocked to find out that the stopping distance of a car travelling at 30mph is 23 metres. We even measured it to see how far it was.
We were very lucky to have 2 important visitors into class this week, our local MP, Jessica Moredon and the Right Worshipful Mayor of Newport, Councillor Mogford. We had a very intense question and answer session with Jessica who was blown away with our tricky questions. What a wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful day in London visiting Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament and SEA LIFE London Aquarium. The children behaved superbly and lots of fun was had by all! Mrs Curtis and Miss Cheney are so proud of all of the children - da iawn pawb!
We had fun in our outdoor learning this week. We worked together to make shelters that would keep us dry, hidden and safe.Â
On Monday we had a lovely afternoon exploring our school grounds. We took part in a 'Crack the Code' activity using our maths skills before creating some natural art. Llawer o hwyl!

We were very lucky to have a visit with Alex from Gwent Police on Wednesday where we discussed different ways to stay safe online. Did you know that 694,000 videos are viewed on YouTube every 60 seconds?!
We had a wonderful afternoon with Petra from Gwent Wildlife Trust. We started by making eco-friendly plant pots and planting different seeds. We then went outside and used binoculars to spot different birds. We will be feeding back our numbers to the RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch.
In Science we have been learning about air resistance and carried out an investigation to find out if the size of parachute would affect how fast it fell. Only 2 out of the 15 eggs were broken in the process - gwaith bendigedig!
This week we have continued our learning about the Blitz by creating a composition incorporating what would be heard during an attack. We used lots of different percussion instruments to help us with this.Â
Lighthouse photo - During our Science week we have been exploring electricity and used our problem-solving skills to make a lighthouse with a working light and buzzer. Lots of fun!
This week we had our 'Battles, Blackouts and the Blitz' DIP day, where we explored lots of different artefacts from WW2 to help us plan our new learning. Roedd y gwisgo ffansi yn fendigedig!

This term our theme is 'Cariad Cymru' we will be learning lots of interesting facts about Wales in the present and the past. Have a look at what other things we will be learning on our newsletter.
On Friday we started to look at time in our Maths sessions. We made clocks practically using blocks to help us to see each minute and practised moving the hands to different times. Gwaith gwych pawb!
We love our rugby skills sessions with Dragons RFC.
We have been busy writing myths and legends in our Literacy work. We then used our digital skills to publish our own books using AI generated images from our writing. Here are some examples for you. Gwaith arbennig!
On Tuesday this week, we were very lucky to have a visit from Gwent Wildlife Trust. We helped build owl boxes before decorating them in our own style. After that, we had lots of fun dissecting owl pellets to find out what they eat. They were full of bones and we tried to work out which small mammals they were from.Â
