We have been busy making halves and applying our maths through our topic when making Mr Grinling the lighthouse keepers lunch.

Today we went into Forest School to help the Chief Water Engineer. He had a problem with different boats sinking, so we investigated which items sank and which floated.

We read the letter and accepted out … Read more

The Year 5 and 6 pupils in Dosbarth Caerdydd have been working extremely hard over the last few weeks to research, design, create, test, edit and finalise their very own board games to support younger pupils in the school with their maths skills! And today they were very excited to share their games with pupils across the school. The younger pupils were very impressed with the games and are delighted to be able to keep them in their classes to play with over the next few weeks. Da iawn pawb!!

This week in our outdoor learning, we have made water butts from old plastic bottles. We have been looking at how we can make better choices, reducing our use of items, reusing things in a different way or recycling. We will take them home once they are complete and collect rain water to use for … Read more
