Superhero news!

We have heard rumours that there is a new breed of superheroes on our streets. It appears that these heroes have made their own costumes and masks, and are now out there, keeping our streets safe and secure. Their identities remain a mystery. Could it be a bunch of mild-mannered Year 1 and 2 children? Watch this breaking news story, and make your own mind up...

Happiness!

Our final topic this year has been happiness. What is it that makes us happy and why? To finish off, we wrote our own song and made a video. You may recognise the tune :) Have a happy holiday everyone!

Our trip to Llanelli Wetland Centre

On Thursday we took a trip to the WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre and had a great time! Pam explained the different sounds that birds make and then she gave us some parabolic reflectors (we called them sound guns!) and we went out to listen to the amazing sounds of the wetlands. Then we went on a minibeast hunt and found lots of wildlife which we examined with magnifiers and microscopes. After lunch, we went on a walk around the centre and even had time for a quick play in the park! We had a great day, have a look at our pictures...

Number cafe 3

In our third number cafe, we looked at the sometimes tricky topic of division. Our families helped us divide by 2, 5 and 10. We had a great time again - it's good to share :)

Number cafe 2

We had our second number café and it was really well attended!  Many thanks to all family members who came and helped us to multiply by 2. It was double delight for us all!

Number cafe

On Tuesday we hosted our first number cafe for family members to come in and "make mornings count"!  We have been learning about multiplication, so we showed how we use numicon to help us to do it.  We had a great time, many thanks to all the mums, dads, nans (and of course little siblings!) that were able to come along this time :)

Our new reading area - Camp Darllen

Our new reading area is now up and running with a Native American theme, complete with a bearskin rug!

Captain Buttons returns!

Last year we helped Captain Buttons get to Bounty Island, and some of us were wondering what he was up to now. So we emailed him and discovered that he had retired, but his son (the new Captain Buttons!) had taken over and would be in touch. Today, we got a video message from him and a mysterious box appeared in our classroom in the morning. Also, Mr Payne and Mr Griffiths appeared, dressed as pirates! Look what happened as we all turned into pirates for the day to help the new Captain B!

Puddle painters!

Mr Payne rewarded some excellent listeners in the class with puddle painting! What (messy) fun!

Wriggle and crawl!

See what we have been up to in the first couple of weeks of our new topic, wriggle and crawl. We have been finding out all about minibeasts and have been on a bug hunt around our school and grounds. Look what we found! We have also been creating collages of minibeasts in the style of the artist Matisse :)
