Diolch yn fawr i Presteigne Fire Service crew for a brilliant afternoon. Learners had a practical and hands on learning experience with the resources that are used by the fire service.

As part of their learning of the Victorian era, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne made Victorian bread and butter. We followed a recipe carefully and used our mathematical skills to measure out the correct ingredients. Once the bread had been cooked and the butter was ready, we then had the opportunity to eat it all up…. yum yum!

This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been introduced to the Victorian era. We talked about how Victorians lived and compared Victorian houses to modern-day houses. We also had the opportunity to explore a variety of real Victorian household objects and compared these to household objects from now. We worked together to sort these.

In maths this week in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been developing our counting skills. We have been finding amounts, using a bead string to count on and we have also explored estimating using different objects.

In music today we explored the different sounds we can make using the drums!

We have been developing our coding skills using the Bee-Bots and Spheros.

We have had some class caterpillars growing and have been able to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. It has been really interesting!
