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!!!

Looking After Our School Grounds

As part of our RE we have been looking at our world and ways we can look after and improve our environment.  The children have decided that they want to improve our outside area by doing a general clean up, litter picking and planting new bedding plants and other plants and would like to have their own small greenhouse to grow their own plants and food.  On Friday we will be getting busy and working together to improve our school grounds.  If you could you donate any bedding plants, plants or vegetable seeds for our garden that would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your continued support.

Cardiff Bay Assembly in pictures..

A fantastic assembly today from Dosbarth Cangarw all about their visit to Cardiff Bay. They taught the audience about the history of the bay, it's development in recent years and some of the exciting activities the bay has to offer today. This managed to incorporate a welsh role play and song, a dance and a reinterpretation of a Stereophonics classic! Da iawn Dosbarth Cangarw...
