Monday 3rd November

 

As this week most children will be watching a fireworks display, on Friday we will be writing a Safety Rules poster for other children to keep themselves safe during this time.

Please spend time discussing the following:

· the different types of fireworks e.g. rockets, Catherine wheels, sparklers and what happens when they are lit

· what to do when you are given a sparkler and when it goes out

· what to do when watching fireworks e.g. stand well back, never go near a firework if it hasn't gone off, never pick a used firework up

· Who should or is allowed to handle fireworks?

· Where should fireworks be kept?

· How can we keep our pets safe during this time?

When talking about keeping safe and thinking of safety rules encourage your child to use bossy words to start each rule for example, Never.. Keep… Don’t… Always… Hold… Stay… Stand… etc.

This week we will be learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot.

During the week the children will listen to the story of Sammy Spider’s First Sukkot, then on Friday we will be re-telling the story.

Inside, outside, upside down! Where is Sammy Spider now? Swinging on an apple, from the roof of the Shapiro family's sukkah, he is learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot. Sammy watches carefully as Josh and his  parents build and decorate the little hut. Then as a special treat, Sammy even gets to sleep there under the stars!

If you have access to the internet below is a link to listen to the story.

HAPPINESS

This week we will be discussing the meaning of happiness and what makes us happy.

During the week please spend time talking with your child about what makes them happy. It could be for example, a particular event, place they have visited, listening to a bed time story, jumping in puddles, picking blackberries, or singing their favourite song etc. Also spend time talking about what made you happy as a child, I'm sure there are many memorable fun times you can share!

Enjoy sharing happy moments!



Our Boats Set Sail!!!!

On Friday it was a very exciting time in Dosbarth Coala and Cangarw!!!! In the morning they wrote letters to Captain Scott informing him of the boats that they had made over the term.  Then the children all gathered excitedly but a little apprehensive around the paddling pool!!! The big moment had arrived, would their boat sink or float????? Amazingly, all six fantastic inventions successfully floated across the pink paddling pool. Da iawn, pawb!!!!!

But the excitement didn't stop there! After lunch the children journeyed to the local river where they bid farewell to their plastic bottle containing letters to Captain Scott.  Despite getting lodged half way down the children blew wishes of good luck and the bottle then started its journey again!!!

What an amazing project, thoroughly enjoyed by pupils and staff alike!! Bendigedig!!!
