Part time Nursery loved having their grown ups in class to share stories with them today. #readingforpleasure

Teddy toast went down a treat this morning. The children used spreading, cutting and intricate fine motor skills to create their snack and it was yummy! 🐻#enterprisingcreativecontributors

A fun way to explore colour mixing this morning. Using the primary colours to explore ice painting. Lots of discussion about melting and what was happening to the colours. #creativeenterprisingcontributors

Another lovely trip to the library for our Pufflings. They enjoyed sharing stories, looking at books, talking about the pictures, and using the machine to check out some books to bring back to school - all childrens’ choice to support reading for pleasure. 📚

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

Lots of learning whilst cooking; hygiene, safety, making observations, discussing the melting process, team work, fine motor skills, using describing words, and of course tasting! #ambitiouscapablelearners

A fun week all about books! We loved dressing up as our favourite book character and sharing stories with the older children. 📚

Fine motor Friday. Scissors skills, spreading, cutting and manipulating small objects. The piggy faces were yummy! 🐷#healthyconfidentindividuals

Fun in the snow this week! Snow angels, footprints, snowballs, sliding, describing words and fun! ❄️☃️

Our youngest learners enjoyed a visit to the library this morning. They enjoyed exploring books independently, making choices and sharing stories. #healthyconfidentindividuals

As part of our new topic, the children have been scientists this week. They found out what happens to a gummy bear when left in water for a few days. Lots of discussions, curiosity, predictions, excitement, awe and wonder this week! Da iawn pawb! #healthyconfidentindividuals

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

A strange start to the week…the children discovered someone had been in our Ty- Ni…who could it be? Lots of investigation needed to kick off our new topic - ‘What if?’

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

Puffins enjoyed a visit to the local library this week. They had fun choosing stories independently and looking at traditional tales. 📚

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

To end our week on Goldilocks, the children followed a step by step ‘how to draw a bear.’ They used their listening and observation skills and produced some fantastic drawings! #enterprisingcreativecontributors

The children have been learning about road safety this week. They played games to help them practise looking and listening, took part in crossing the road role play, and made badges to remind us to always wear seatbelts. #healthyconfidentindividuals

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

The children have been finding out the meaning of our school logo, discussing why each picture is important. Puffins looked carefully and drew the symbols themselves, and Pufflings looked closely at the colours and matched them to their own logo. #humanities #belonging #cynefin

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

The children enjoyed working together to sort and pack the items they had brought in to school to support the Christmas shoe box appeal. What a wonderful thing to do on World Kindness Day! #ethicalinformedcitizens

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

Lots of opportunities to develop fine motor skills whilst creating some lovely poppy art. The children enjoyed finger painting to create dotty poppies, and ripping, scrunching, rolling and sticking tissue paper to create 3d poppies. #enterprisingcreativecontributors

A big da iawn to our Above and Beyond and hot chocolate superstars this week! ⭐️☕️

[Puffins and Pufflings @DosbarthPuffins]

Puffins and Pufflings enjoyed Kipper’s 5th birthday party. Lots of planning went into this by the children; cake making and decorating, invitation writing, deciding on games and learning to sing some Welsh birthday songs! Da iawn pawb! #ambitiouscapablelearners
