We had an exciting day today - the first day of our new context; Tree Guardians: Our Mission to Save Tiny Worlds! We received a letter from Bettys and Taylors; they have planted over 5 million trees and have worked with Blue Peter! They set us a challenge to find out about trees and to create a project that teaches about their importance. We started that challenge by exploring the trees in our own school and in the local park. Here's how we got on ...
Spring Term
We discussed the best place to build a castle and presented our ideas to the rest of the class ...
We're still claiming the fame in Cwtch 3. Here are just a few of the activities we've been doing independently this term ...
When we went to Chepstow Castle, we saw the oldest castle doors in Europe! They were so strong, nobody was ever able to smash their way through. An army had to blow a hole in the wall instead! They were strong because they were built using joints called mortise-and-tenon joints. We knew what we had to do …
We practised meditating using a range of poses. We took our inspiration from Buddhist statues. It's not easy to overcome adversity but sometimes, taking a moment and stepping away from a difficult situation can help.
Learning some Welsh and doing some drama!
We asked some questions to help us prove our answers ..

Our first trip of the school year!
Some number track problem solving this week - how many can you do at home?
Showing racism the red card. I can think of no better reason to wear a Chiefs T-shirt.
We met some truly inspirational people today and they brought along some furry friends to meet us. Cwtch 3 were right in the middle of the action!
Every question answered correctly and full explanations given. The cape of ambition and capability was well deserved!
When we work independently in Cwtch 3, we have a phrase. That phrase is 'Claim the Fame'. It represents a desire to produce the best piece of work that we possibly can. We want 'the fame'. We want to show our work to our friends, we want our work displayed on the wall or in the 'Book of Fame.' We wear the cape of ambition and capability every time we walk towards the next independent activity. Here are just some of the examples of us claiming the fame this year so far...

We read the biography of a real life 'superdad', Mike Young. He invented the character, Superted, because his son was afraid of the dark. We love the fact that this magical bear was invented in Wales!
We were introduced to a new super villain this week: Captain You'llneverdoit! We ignored him and worked really hard to find the mistakes and correct them. Check out some of the problems we've been solving this week ...
Cwtch 2 joined us to celebrate Rosh Hasanah, the Jewish new year. We tried a variety of foods and listened to traditional music
We saw some excellent drama skills on display; meet some of the superheros that dropped by to see us this week ...
More excellent problem solving this week...
There are already some excellent typists in Cwtch 3. Great job today, everyone
Our Welsh reading book this week is called ‘Bargen’ (Bargain)
We logged on to Google Classroom with our new accounts today. We can't wait to start using them next week!
First recognition card handed out at 8:55am! Fantastic numerical reasoning - the cape of ambition and capability on display almost before breakfast!
