Conwy: Outdoor Learning

School Staff — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:29:04 +0000

Over the past week, the children have been enthusiastically exploring the school grounds to look for signs of Spring. During Outdoor Learning we observed many daffodils beginning to grow and very excited to discover frogspawn with Miss Callaghan. This sparked great curiosity, and we will be following the life cycle within Continuous Provision, as the children have lots of questions. The children enjoyed creating wind catchers to build fine motor skills, using colours of the Welsh flag.

In addition, we spent time collecting sticks for another activity and created tally’s to develop our maths skills. The children also experimented with planks, independently building bridges in different positions, testing how this affected the speed of a toy car. Lots of fun. This hands-on exploration encouraged problem solving , teamwork and scientific thinking.

Conwy: Maths Arrays

School Staff — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 10:11:50 +0000

This week we have been looking at making arrays to answer addition questions that have an answer more than 10.

Today we set our own maths questions using 9 sided dice and answered addition questions bridging 10! The children used coloured spots to create their arrays.

Earlier in the week we did this practically, yesterday we applied our knowledge to questions set by Miss Postle and for day we set our own challenge of questions!

Great to see so much independence going on in class!

Chirk: Children in Need

School Staff — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 13:44:24 +0000

We have been learning about helping and supporting others, and enjoyed lots of fun activities throughout the day for Children in Need.

We participated in a ‘Joe Wicks Children in Need’ workout, painted Pudsey Bears, independently washing our brushes after painting . We iced and decorated spotty biscuits using Welsh vocabulary to name the colours. We made Pudsey masks by selecting resources and applying skills to cut, colour and construct our own masks. We also played Pudsey bingo.

Coin donations brought in by the children and staff in Early Years covered 4 Pudsey Bears. We worked together to carefully select coins placing on Pudsey.

A fantastic day Dosbarth Chirk – Diolch yn fawr!

Conwy: Houses Of Parliament Expressive Arts

School Staff — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 22:07:25 +0000

As we begin to finish looking at how and why we celebrate Bonfire Night, the children have been creating firework paintings over the Houses of Parliament!

The children created their own silhouettes using their own knowledge of the Gunpowder Plot and after building the Houses of Parliament in our construction area. They then used forks to spread the paint above the silhouettes to create colourful fireworks!

It’s been wonderful to watch the children explore so many different times of materials and media when looking at Bonfire Night & The Gunpowder Plot!
