‘Ready, steady…go!’ We love our ‘training camps’ pre sports day! We are working on endurance skills in our ‘obstacle garden’, balance skills in our egg and spoon area and of course we do like a little rest, relax and reflect! #PencHCI #PencACL #PencHWB

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We do love games so we have used our ‘fastest finger’ to help us embed where capital letters belong, search for tricky words and discuss punctuation. It was a little like a nail salon with the children asking for a variety of nail colours!! #PencLLC #PencACL

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We used our digital skills to produce a dictionary to help us understand the meaning of some words associated with lighthouses (tall,tower buildings!) We have also drawn our own lighthouse - even made a Welsh one! #PencLLC #PencDCF #PencACL #PencCYM

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

What a wonderful week we have had merging areas of learning together to make the best possible experiences for our learners. We are learning all about…you guessed it…lighthouses! We are transforming our role play area into a lighthouse! Watch this space! #PencEXP #PencLLC ⛵️🚢

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

What a wonderful Summer 1. Exploring our local community, becoming script writers for a new Disney film (!), developing our Welsh oracy, delving into division…the list goes on! A week or rest and relax is deserved for sure! #PencACL #PencHCI #PencEIC #PencFlamingos

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We have had such a super half term in the Flamingo class - happy, engaged, creative, imaginative and caring learners. Fostering a love of learning, caring and as one little learner said this week ‘learning how to be good grown ups for our world!’ #PencACL #PencEIC ❤️

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We are so thankful to our families and local business of CK’s Penclawdd for donating our plants and compost bags. Local PSCO FR (!) has inspected and is pleased and proud of our work! #PencSCI #PenCOMM

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

Looking after our downstairs woodland is thirsty work and like all good gardeners we stopped for a ‘cuppa’ @GWandShows what do you think? We also talked about the importance of sustainability and we used reusable cups and plates. Right - let’s get back to planting!#PencSCI

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

‘Wyt ti’n hoffi…’ we have been working hard on our Welsh language skills and do a variety of activities to embed our language and develop our oracy. It is now becoming second nature. Always with a smile too! Proud! #PencLLC #PencCYM #PencFlamingos

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We decided (respectfully!) that we could make the story of ‘Piper’ even better! We have a sequel ready for you @Disney - in our versions Piper meets a unicorn, falls in love with a turtle and has a whale as a best friend! #PencLLC #PencFlamingos

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We have been working hard on our producing skills - we have made our own ‘Piper’ audio video book! We used our creativity to make our own illustrations then added our voices. However - we now intend to reflect and edit - watch this space!#PencDCF #PencFlamingos #PencSCI

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

Exploring one of Gower’s precious beaches…we are so lucky to live in this area of outstanding natural beauty. #PencHUM #PencSCI #PencFlamingos #PencSealions 🏖️

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

‘Land A’hoy!’…a wonderful trip to Port Eynon beach…an opportunity to play, explore, wonder and gaze out…we cannot wait for this trip to launch us deeper into our learning…#PencSCI #PencHUM #PencFlamingos #PencSealions 🏴‍☠️

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

Anyone in need of a dose of pure glee and happiness…well here is you 20 second prescribed ‘happiness’ medicine! #PencHCI #PencHWB #PencFlamingos

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

What a glorious morning! All FL learners have come together to spruce up our downstairs woodland! Amazing to see the collaboration between the older and younger learners! The conversations about different plants and their needs were so inspiring! Bring on the feast! #Pencpeng

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

Looking at where we live is something we love to do. We want to instil a sense of belonging. We have been looking at our local history of cockle picking - we identified happenings that were apparent in the past and what happens now. #PencHUM #PencEIC #localhistorymonth

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

“I can help you! Let me help you!” Kindness, collaboration and being there for each other is always at the heart of what we do. #PencHUM #PencHCI

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

How many arrays of delicious mud cakes have you got girls? I cannot wait to sample the goods! Working together to make our maths fun…and real…well…mud or chocolate not that much difference!! #PencNUM #Penc ACL

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

Oh how we proudly show off our posh handwriting. Concentrating so hard to perfect our cursive letters. We give it a go with a little bit of glee too! #PencLLC #PencACL

[Penclawdd Primary @Penclawdd]

We loved showcasing our prints and art work inspired by Sarah Hopkins. We were also able to see Sarah’s work on display in the hall. A real inspiration. We also used our newly learnt skills in our Literacy session to build our setting for our film portrayal of ‘Piper’. #PencEXP
