A Visit from the Welsh Assembly Government, Ogwyn Davies Art Work, Geography - Journey to the Bay and PESS Gymnastics

We were so busy on Monday - Thursday last week!



Here you can see the children using maps to try and make a human map of the journey from Pontyclun to Cardiff Bay.
They had to focus on compass points, ensuring that they were lating in the correct direction. Additionally, they had to use their numeracy skills in order to work out the kilometres along the journey and decide how many people were to represent each road.
Super geography skills and a fun lesson for all! Da iawn.









Here we can see part two of our art project from last week. The children had to apply the lessons they had learnt about Ogwyn Davies and his love of incorporating writing into his pictures and adapt this idea for their own picture. They used the words "Ogwyn Davies" and "Tregaron" in different fonts.







We had an exciting morning this morning with a visit from Dilwyn from the National Assembly for Wales.
He provided us with plenty of information about our trip to the Bay next week and our visit to the Assembly.
We learnt about the different political parties, the number of assembly ministers, what the assembly can make decisions on etc... and how much money the assembly have to spend.





















We finished the day with a gymnastics lesson. Both classes were practising their shapes and performed sequences with their talking partners.
A busy week! Problem Solving Day tomorrow!
