Year 5 at Swiss Valley Reservoir 15.10.20

Year 5 had a wonderful day yesterday at Swiss Valley Reservoir as part of the Lost Words project. We saw many of the lost words.
The children learnt about local history, sketched, played in the woods, skimmed stones, took photos, discovered hidden treasures and finally made a dam of their own in the River Lleidi. Massive smiles and well behaved children.
Today they will be making dens on the school grounds because we didn't have time yesterday. Da iawn plant. Here's a little video on our Youtube Channel.

Visit to The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth - 15.11.16

Year 5 had a fantastic learning experience today at the National Museum of Wales in Aberystwyth. 

When they arrived they were met by Owain Dafydd, the Education officer. Firstly he talked generally about the library, when and why it was built. The pupils were enthralled hearing fascinating facts about the library.

They then had a tour into areas where the public are not allowed to go. The pupils were able to enter cells where important documents and artefacts are stored. They not only saw books but portraits, manuscripts, maps and other important historical items. They understood the importance of the library for Wales as a nation.

After lunch the pupils were actively involved in a workshop. They looked at 6 specific iconic items in the library. These were then sorted into chronological order. To actually see artefacts that were hundreds of years old enthused the children. They saw the first photograph ever to be taken in Wales, one of the original 12 Bibles that William Morgan translated into Welsh and also Hedd Wyn's actual poem that he won the Eisteddfod with before his death in World War one. 

Every child and member of staff leaving the library had had a marvellous experience and they will remember it for a long time.

Anne Frank Hotseating

Still image for this video
During our study of World War 2 we had to think of historical questions. One child dressed up as Anne Frank, the Jewish girl who was in hiding in Amsterdam during the war. She is famous for her diary which was published after she died in the concentration camps.
Apart from the child dressed up as Anne Frank, the class had no idea this was going to happen and therefore this was a surprise hotseating task for the children.
