Designing, making and testing our boats

Mr Grinling the lighthouse keeper sent us an e Mail SOS to see if we could help him by designing and making him a new boat. We had great fun using junk materials to make our boats. Then we tested them. 

Winter pictures

Although we haven't had any snow in Pontyclun yet this year the children still enjoyed painting their own snowman pictures.  When they were dry they added detail with pastels.  

RNLI SOS day

Avast me hearties!! On Friday we dressed up to raise money for RNLI SOS day. Thank you to everyone who brought in a donation. We raised £50  which we will be sending to this worthy charity that the children have been learning about this term. We enjoyed lots of pirate activities including learning how to speak like a real pirate!

Winter Walk

After cancelling twice due to the rainy weather we finally got to go on our winter woodland walk.

We wrapped up warm with hats, coats, gloves and scarves.

It was a good job we wore our wellies there was lots of mud about!

We crossed over the bridge. The river was flowing very fast.

We enjoyed running up and down the hills. We noticed a lot more leaves on 

the ground than when we went on our autumn walk and most of the trees were bare.

Some horses came to see what we were up to.
