Beat and Rhythm

Learners in Dosbarth Un have been learning about beat and rhythm in their Expressive Arts lessons. This week, they worked in pairs and used their previous learning to create their own rhythms with the claves. They expressed likes and dislikes throughout the process and focused on creating a rhythm that was cohesive and engaging. The learners worked particularly hard to follow their rhythm grids carefully and maintain an appropriate pace to stay in time with each other. They then performed their rhythms to the class, and together, they created a whole-class rhythm chain. Bendigedig pawb!

Top Brass Trio

Dosbarth Un had an inspiring opportunity this week to engage in a live musical concert led by the Top Brass Trio. The learners not only discovered a range of facts about brass instruments but also explored basic conducting skills.

Science Workshops

What an excellent day of science workshops led by Fizz Pop! Learners from Reception to Year 4 had a great time today, taking part in the science workshops with learners from Gladestry School. They explored various chemicals, observing fascinating reactions such as bubbling, colour changes, and changes in texture. The learners were even lucky enough to create their own pots of slime to take home! Everyone shared fantastic ideas throughout the day. Bendigedig pawb!

Pancakes

Dosbarth Un had an exciting day listening to the story ‘Mama Panya’s Pancakes’ and exploring the science behind making pancakes. The learners observed and discussed the physical and chemical reactions as they went through the cooking process. Additionally, the learners investigated the effects of adding different toppings to both cold and hot pancakes. Before doing so, they made predictions about how the toppings would react. The learners were thrilled when it was time to eat their pancakes… yum!

The Great Big School Clean

Dosbarth Un participated in an online live workshop, The Great Big School Clean. We explored what litter is, where it comes from, why it is a problem and what we can do to help tackle it. The learners now plan to put their learning into action to make a difference in our community.
