In Literacy this week we have started our learning journey all about ‘The legend of the two dragons’. This is ready for our creative writing ready for our Eisteddfod.
This week we have been lucky enough to get a visit from Mr Lewis from the Roman museum. Mr Lewis shared so much of his Roman knowledge with us and even brought in some real artefacts for us to enjoy and explore. Some of them almost 2000 years old!! Mr Lewis told us how the Romans impacted our local area and explained our school was once a lake. How cool is that! Diolch yn fawr Mr Lewis!
Spring Term Week 4
We have continued our music learning journey this week and have even started to play pieces of music on our pennywhistles. We all show great determination and excellent collaborative skills to play the music together as a class.
This week we explore Roman artefacts and have started to look at some of the wonderful Roman inventions. We explored a few Roman inventions this week and had brilliant class discussions when we were asked to put the inventions into a pyramid, ranking the inventions from the most useful to the least useful. This is all to answer our enquiry question ‘I wonder what the Romans did for us?’.
Spring Term Week 3 - Learning For The Romans
This week we have continued with our enquiry question ‘I wonder who the Romans were?’. We discussed key events in Roman history and organised the events into a chronological timeline.
Look at some of the Roman soldiers we drew on Mindful Monday as well! Aren’t they great? Da iawn Dosbarth Swansea!
