January 8th

We coloured pictures of the great fire of London. And we drew the fire too. And played a game of the fire too.

I took a photo of the house and the racing track on top.

Our first day back

Monday 6th January
We were making houses out straws, bricks and wooden blocks. We wrote about what we did on the Christmas holidays and our favourite toy off Santa.

What a cool day!

To begin the day we went to techniquest to see the Selfish elf show where Santa showed use how to make lights work by joining hands to make the connection, burning methane made everyone jump as it popped when it ran out, Dylan built a snowman! Bethany and Alex made music using water and bottles and Mr Jones wore a big Rudolph nose!
After a run around techniquest we had food then went for a walk around the bay.
The children loved seeing the different statues and going to the park, but most of all they loved the ice cream at the end. Bubblegum was the favourite flavour, so there were lots of blue faces around! We'll done boys and girls for being so well behaved. It was a pleasure to take you on a trip. Merry Christmas everyone!

160 for Christmas dinner!

It might be raining pouring outside but inside it's shining!
The children all looked forward to their Christmas dinner. Mrs Jeffs and her team did a fantastic job.

Remember Remember-our topic this half term

To begin with there was bonfire night and fire works so the children made Guys in class with Mrs Vowels. With me they made group collages of a fire. Later they drew chalk fire works which they labelled in welsh.
The children loved their trip to the Fire Station and learnt a lot as well as enjoying themselves. They loved trying on the helmets which still smelt of smoke from the emergency that the fire fighters had attended the previous night in LLandow. Jim, the boss, let them use a thermal imaging camera and the results were quite surprising. Very hot things come up as very white. The children stuck their tongues out for the camera and some were white and some not! When Jim put on the sirens and lights it was very loud, but the children loved it. The children were taught about fire safety and they learnt that if the smoke detectors in their houses didn't work the fire service would come and fit new ones for free. So give them a ring if yours is on the blink.
Following our trip the children wrote about it and typed it up on the computer choosing a photo from the trip to go with it. At the moment, the children are enjoying playing with the small world fire fighters we bought and have helped to make a fire station to play with them in.
This week we've been writing fire poems using powerful wow words that the children thought of.
