Dosbarth 7 design book covers!

Having been told the title of our new book this term - Who's afraid of the Bwgan Wood by Anne Lewis the children then had to design a cover for this book. Here are Cory's and Zeenab's front cover ideas!

New Term - New Class

The new Dosbarth 7 have had a very enjoyable first two days back in school. Mr Jones has been delighted with their effort and attitude. The class have been reminded that all homework is now available to download at www.gellipri.wikispaces.com. There is also helpful powerpoints and worksheets to help you with your homework!

Working together!

We also enjoy working as a group and giving each other different jobs to do! Mr Jones gave us a challenge of making a container our of paper that would hold 10 pencils. We could only use sellotape and paper!

In year five we have been using learning partners when we work! We discuss ideas and then share them with the class, as they say sometimes two heads are better than one!

Here are some photgraphs of us working together!

Taste Test!

As part of our Healthy Schools Campaign and our DT Curriculum, children in Year 5 have been given the challenge to design and make a healthy yogurt.

To decide what fruits to select we had a blindfolded taste test!

The children were given the opportunity to taste Kiwi fruit, apples, bananas, two different types of melon, pears, avacados, raspberries, strawberries, pineapples, oranges and grapes.

Video of making and tasting to follow!

Welsh Presentation

Year 5 and Mrs. Hargreaves have made this video to show you how well they understand their ages and birthdays in Welsh. Mrs. Hargreaves comes to Gelli Primary School every Wednesday to work with the staff and children to deliver our Welsh as a second language programme of study. Llongyfarchiadau blant.

Year 5 visit to Mini Science Experience

Today you should have received a letter by pupil post regarding an educational visit.

As part of Science Week 2009 children in Year 5 will be visiting the Cilfynydd Environmental Centre for a “Mini Science Experience” on Thursday 5th March 2009.
The bus will leave school at 09.10 a.m. promptly, so it is imperative that your child is in school before 8.50 a.m. The activities are to begin at 10.00 a.m. The children will be divided into four groups and each of the activities will take approximately 20 minutes. We will have lunch at the Environmental Centre and return to school at 1.00 p.m.
In addition please can you observe the following:-
• School uniform is required.
• Please provide your own packed lunch. May I remind you that no glass bottles, yoghurts or any
other foods that may break and cause any mess if dropped are allowed.
• Please will you make sure that your child has a waterproof coat and suitable footwear as some of the activities will take place outside.
• Please will you make a voluntary contribution of £2.00 to cover the cost of the bus.
Please will you complete the photography consent form and return it to school as soon as possible.
