Musical Dinosaurs!

The boys and girls of Dosbarth Teigr and Dosbarth Eliffant were really lucky this morning when some musical dinosaurs came to perform for us, courtesy of Ty Cerdd and students from The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. We all had a fantastic time voting for our favourite dinosaur and getting involved with the performance with lots of clapping, marching and roaring like dinosaurs!

Post Nativity Party

After working their socks off over three fantastic performances, the pupils of Dosbarth Teigr unwind with some dancing and party games!

Well done Dosbarth Teigr

The pupils of Dosbarth Teigr pulled off an incredible 3 performances of their nativity play last week, a big ask for Early Years children.

However, they rose to the challenge magnificently performing consistently and with bags of confidence on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.

All the Nursery would like to say how proud we are of all of the children and thank all parents for their support in practising songs and lines at home as well as organising their children's costumes.

We are now looking forward to our trip to see Santa this coming Friday at Dan yr Ogof!

New playground markings!

Dosbarth Teigr are certainly enjoying the new colourful playground markings. Now there's even more for us to do at break times!

All settled in!

A very big welcome to all of our new boys and girls in Dosbarth Teigr who are now all settled in after their staggered entry.

We're all busy getting really stuck in with our topic 'Happiness' and are currently looking at different celebrations, starting with the Hindu festival of Diwali, which takes place in a few weeks time.

Here's a short clip of some of the children practising some Indian dancing, apologies for the quiet audio and shaky camera, a certain teacher may have been trying to dance and film at the same time! Enjoy!

Sponsored Bounce Success!

On Friday 14th June, Dosbarth Teigr and Dosbarth Eliffant took part in a sponsored bounce on a huge bouncy castle in the school hall to raise money for our school.

The boys and girls were all fantastic and managed to raise lots of money for the school whilst having loads of fun.

Da iawn Dosbarth Eliffant & Dosbarth Teigr!

 

 

Fallen Stars at Ffynnon Taf

***NEWS FLASH***

Dosbarth Teigr and Ellifant went exploring today following reports of a flash seen in the sky late last night followed by a loud bang! The children found strange black objects that had made large holes in the ground on the field and in the school garden surrounded by sparkles and shimmers.

The identity of the objects is not yet known however some eyewitnesses did give their opinions:

Kieron Burgwyn, aged 3, believes that the object is a star and suggested that "A bigger star pushed it out of the sky" and then "It smashed into the ground".

Responding to why the star was black Tia Marshall, also aged 3 thought that "The sparkles fell off the star when it landed".

Both classes will be investigating the objects and deciding what to do with them this week, so watch this space...

Mothers Day Assembly

Half Term News

Our topic this term is called ‘When I Fall Asleep’ and we have been investigating what happens at nighttime. We began with a sleepy day where we wore our pyjamas in school. We were read bedtime stories by Mr Wysom, Mrs James and Mr Worth. We also made hot chocolate and performed lullabies and bedtime songs!

We have been learning about everything to do with nighttime, from bedtime routines to exploring light and dark. We had fun exploring dreams and created some fantastic art and craft projects. Just before half term we began to look at maps and made some maps of the school garden to help bedtime bear find his cuddly toy.
