Learners identified adjectives and verbs to create their own poem about castles using personification. We then focused on our expressive arts to create the castle from our poem, using a range of mediums.

STEM CHALLENGE! Learners put themselves into 4 teams to complete a carousel of 4 activities. Lots of team building and taking on different roles within the team to complete each challenge within 15 minutes.

Finishing the week with some caterpillar rounders. A game we learned on our school trip to Llandaff Cathedral School. 🎾🏓🏃‍♀️

Dosbarth Aderyn thoroughly enjoyed our day out and seeing so many friendly faces again. Many thanks for making us feel so welcome. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration in the next academic year. Diolch. @PenllwynPrimary

Our learners carried out an investigation on foods consumed by learners from other classes and recorded their results on a tally table. They then used J2E to create a bar chart to compare food groups to determine whether the class were eating a balanced diet.

What a day we've had @cslcardiff. The learners attended a beautiful service in the Cathedral by Euddogwy House with a fantastic singer and pianist. We had a lovely welcome and made some lovely friendships throughout the day playing outdoor games and some challenging orienteering.

The learners had fun this afternoon exploring and researching @cslcardiff and the beautiful architecture around the grounds, ready for our school visit tomorrow. It's been a great way to explore other surroundings outside our locality and gain a school partner for our Jigsaw PSHE

What a Sports Day we had this year @PenllwynPrimary All the learners gave it their best shot and more than anything, had fun! A big thank you to all the parents that came along to support Dosbarth Aderyn and our other year groups. Diolch.

After a busy morning in our penultimate swimming lesson, the learners returned to put their minds to some expressive arts, designing a sports day kit and logo. We then turned our attention to food chains and finding out how different eco systems work around the world.

Dosbarth Aderyn had a fantastic morning taking part in the #greatwelshicecreamadventure where we learned about the farming community and their important roles they have in our lives. A big thank you to @NFUEducation @NFUCymru_Wales who delivered a lovely session for our learners.

After a work out in the pool this morning, the learners spent time making their fathers day cards, creating some lovely designs. We followed our morning with a class experiment on the digestive system, where we looked at the different roles of organs in our body.

Our Year 4 Jigsaw class discussed who and how we appreciate loved ones. Learners created some lovely abstract pictures of those who are close to us and how these pictures remind us of them. We spoke about colour and the meaning behind them.

Our school home learning task this week was to create something for the environment. Our learner this week created some bird feeders for our school grounds, which they were all keen to present.

Dosbarth Aderyn finished off the week with some army drills, focusing on team work and communication. Lots of fun and giggles while working on our health and wellbeing. They have definitely earned a much needed extended break. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend. 🪖🏃‍♀️

Starting off our morning with some @edshed Spelling Shed to get our thinking skills ready for the day.

After discussing the affects of WW2, learners were treated to some extraordinary original newspapers from 1941 by a class family member who kindly brought them in. We looked at the features, the stories and the general layout of newspapers from this time.

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, why not head down to the Caerphilly Food Festival, Saturday 27th April. Lots of different cuisines on offer. @PenllwynPrimary

Focus: the impact that WW2 had on British lives. We looked at an evacuee suitcase which had a gas mask from this period. Learners generated lots of ideas and questions about how they would have felt. Letters wrote and labels created. We even looked at train timetables!

Learners are using their digital skills through Google Classroom to type up their own chapter for 'The Story Thief'. We've had lots of interesting ideas about the chest of stories and used our imagination to think of a fourth impossible task that was set by Nyame for Anansi.
