St David's Day


We have finished our Chinese New Year celebrations and we are about to begin our St David's Day work, in preparation for our eisteddfod after half term. Our main story will be 'Woolly Wendy and the Snowdon Lily'. Activities include:

               Hot seating Woolly Wendy
               Handwriting competition for St David's Day by writing part of the story of ‘Woolly Wendy’
               Drawing Snowdon lilies using pastels as art entries for St David's Day
               Completing a display on the story 'Woolly Wendy and the Snowdon Lily'
               Choosing equipment to take on a trek up a mountain - before walking up the hill in the school grounds! 
               Making welsh cakes - with emphasis on weighing the ingredients. Children will use a pan balance to ensure correct amount of ingredients are used
               Begin to learn about the passing of time by doing activities for 1 minute
               Planting our own seeds - remembering the importance of looking after plants 
               Forest school - creating mud paintings of a Snowdon lily
Don't forget the home school task of making zoo animal masks to be used in our zoo role-play area. 

Please can I remind you to pay your snack money of £7, if you have not yet done so.  We need this money to buy snacks for the children as well as some extra resources for all the nice activities we do.

Many Thanks

Mrs Bannister
