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.

A New Start

All the new pupils have now started in Dosbarth Teigr and are beginning to settle in and make lots of new friends. Our topic of 'Jaws, Paws and Claws has got off to a fabulous start with a visit from the 'Nearly Wild Show' where the children got to handle a range of animals from rabbits and mice to snakes and even a giant tortoise!

We'd also like to welcome two new additions to our classroom, our pet mice! The children voted on the names Daisy and Woe and these pets will provide lots of opportunities to discuss caring for living things and responsibility for looking after them.
