Den Building in Porthkerry

 

 

Den Building Trip

 

On Tuesday 6th May 2014, we went to Porthkerry to learn how to build some great dens!

 

 

After our den building, we enjoyed toasting some marshmallows over the open fire...

 

We think they were worth the wait!

 

Even the Mums enjoyed a 'marshmallow moment'...!

After our picnic, we looked for mini beasts...

 

...and found some!

 

 



Our Dens & Dandelions Topic has begun!

 

Dens and Dandelions

 

Here we are on our trip to Porthkerry. 

We learned about the rules we must follow when we are outdoors.

 

 

 

There's nothing like snacktime in the woods!

 

After a biscuit stop, we collected things from the woodland floor - twigs, bark and sticks.

We are going to use these to build mini woodland 'Dens' back at school...

 

As you can see - we had a great morning out! 

The sun shone for us, we discovered lots of interesting things and we are looking forward to our new topic...

 

 

Friendship Web

 

In our class assembly today, we talked about the importance of good friends. 

Here is our 'Friendship web'.

 

We passed the ball of string to each of our friends to make a special web.

 



Thank you Mum...!

 

 

Thank you Mum!

 

On Wednesday March 26th the children in Class 1 invited their Mums in to school for a very special Mother's Day celebration to say "Thank you"...

 

 

 

The children wrote a poem about their mums - it was called "I love my Mum because...".

 

 

 

They performed a Welsh folk dance.

 

 

The children also sang a song about all the jobs that their Mums have to do -

it was a very 'lively' song!

 

 

Here are some of our Mums receiving the best Mother's Day present...

a big hug & a smile!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the children gave their Mums some special gifts that they had made...

 

It was a lovely morning - a special one that I know our Mums will always remember.

There wasn't a dry eye in the room!!! 

We had a lovely chat about how some tears are 'happy' tears...!

 

I hope you all had a great Mothering Sunday!
