During the first half of Spring term, we learnt about ‘What living in Wales means’. Exploring timelines, we looked at how the local area has changed since the school was first opened and then looked at how Cardiff has changed over a greater timeline. 

​

Our Talk for Writing text was “The Rainbow Dragon” which led us to “Dilwyn the Welsh Dragon.” Dilwyn looks after all the coins made at the Royal mint in Llantrisant.  Inspired by Dilwyn we visited the Royal mint and learnt how to design a coin.  

​

Our learning was celebrated through each child creating a coin featuring their own silhouette on one side and a Cardiff landmark on the other side.  The children created artwork and recited a poem that celebrated what living in Wales means to them.

​

We have visited Cardiff Met for an event showcasing activities available for children with additional needs. In the afternoons we have been playing turn taking games, working outdoors, exploring sensory needs, learning life skills and creating art.

​

This half term, our topic will be “Inventors and inventions”’ where we will be learning about designing, tools, materials and making. Our Talk for Write text will be “Little Red Riding Hood” which will develop our writing skills and explore some life skills.
