Year 6 have been chosen to become involved in an exciting local history project to develop the Iron Age site at Capel Mair, Margam Park.

Mr Phil Cope (a local historian) visited our class on Wednesday afternoon to explain the project in more detail. He brought many artefacts to show the major time periods in history and year 6 spent time examining each one, guessing what they were used for and inventing stories about them. All children are looking forward to the planned site visit to Capel Mair next Wednesday and are already inspired to further their knowledge of local history and develop their skills as archaeologists!!

The children in Nursery and Reception have been having lots of fun learning about light sources recently. We have used iPads to take photos of light sources inside and outside of our school, we have made lists and sorted light sources into two categories: natural and man-made, and we have even made our own candle holders using salt dough.

As part of our theme ‘Mission Moon‘. The children requested a light experiment. They wanted to find out which torch would be best when it gets dark. The children firstly looked at the torches to make their prediction on which they thought was best. Then we used a peephole box to test their predictions.  The children found out that Torch C was the brightest and would be the best to take out in the dark.

Year 2 have been using the word ‘reflection’ in their learning about the topic ‘Mission Moon’. We learned about how the moon reflects light from the sun and also about light sources that reflect. So, as part of our Maths we decided to learn about how to use a mirror to reflect an image and make it symmetrical. We were so good at it that Mrs Lewis challenged us to make a BIGGER symmetrical pattern!

We gathered lots of different PE equipment and took it outdoors. We used skipping ropes for lines of symmetry and got to using bats, balls, hoops, shapes and more to make giant patterns! We made symmetrical butterflies, images and objects with our group. We were very proud of our outdoor learning and so was Mrs Lewis! Learning about symmetry was so much fun!
