Cross Country October

At the end of October we took part in Cross Country at Hawthorn Fields. The Year 5 boys are through to the Welsh Finals. After the top 4 runners came Baron (5), Evan (8), Tomos (16) and Cole (17) who combined made the second lowest score out of schools and will go through to Cardiff. Well done everyone for taking part.

Cold Knap

Year five and six visited a very wet and windy Cold Knap beach, assessing human impact on the environment.  They studied old maps, compared and contrasted changes, and suggested reasons for this.  On their return to school they presented the collated data and information through ICT.  A very old bottle with a message was found too….all the way from St Lucia!

Our trip to Riverside Allotments

On Monday we took the bus to Riverside Allotments in Cardiff as part of our topic for the term. We were met by Isla who showed us around. We took part in a nature hunt to find things like the compostable toilet and bug hotel. We were then shown the edible part of the allotment where we were able to try almost everything. The Sorrel was very sweet and the peas were delicious! Afterwards we made our own pots from newspaper and went pond dipping. We had a great time!
After lunch we walked to Bute Park where we were met by a group of Bute Park educational staff. We looked at mini beasts in the park. We split into groups and used paintbrushes, magnifying glasses, nets and bug containers to catch and study the mini beasts. Take a look at our photos.
