In the Garden !!

Thankyou to all the contributions to Africa week. Also, remember if anyone has any ' Bangles Beads or Belts' they don't want, Maesybryn is collecting for a jewellery stall for the Ugandan evening on Thursday to which all will be welcome.
The children gained alot from African week. They had a chance to have a go at African drumming, listen to tales from an African storyteller and make lots of African crafts aswell as tasting African fruits and vegetables.

As you will have seen in the newletter with the term plans given out on Friday, during the next fortnight, we will be getting out and about as much as possible to complete our Gardening work.
Class 8 have already planted potatoes and we will be monitoring these closely. We will also be planting sunflower seeds so that the children can each have a chance to watch their plants grow and measure their stems. We will also be studying minibeasts and getting out and about in the school grounds for bug hunts. So, if the children have not yet brought wellies back in, could they please do so soon for their adventures in the garden.
If the children have any stories about plants,flowers or minibeasts they would like to bring in,it would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou,
Mrs. Brown

Summer Term

Welcome back to everybody after the Easter break. Hope you have all had a good rest. The children told us their news today and all about what they,ve been up to.

This term we will be learning all about ' The Garden ' and ' The Seaside and our plans will be posted soon. But, for the next fortnight our mini topic will be Africa - to coincide with ' Africa Week ' in Maesybryn next week where the children will have a go at drumming and complete some African artwork.
The children have already started looking at animal prints and had a lovely stort ' A balloon for Grandad ' today. If the children have any other stories or pictures about Africa or models of African animals ( plastic or soft ) they are very welcome to bring them in. Any cardboard tubes such as pringle containers or kitchen roll tubes would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou,
Mrs. Brown
