@DosbarthPump @DurrellWildlife This looks amazing! Da iawn pawb!

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

Incredibly proud of our team and so lovely to see former @HNSFishguard FLL pupils representing their secondary school @YsgolBroGwaun . A great competition which we now look forward to every year! @FLLUK @IETeducation @SeeScience

[Dosbarth Pump @DosbarthPump]

Llongyfarchiadau to our amazing team who won the trophy for most points in the robot game at primary level! Amazing coding and fantastic teamwork! We are so proud! @FLLUK @IETeducation

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

Lots of proud teacher moments today. I love seeing teams competing against each other yet being so supportive of one another! A truly amazing event which offers so many learning opportunities. I couldn't recommend @FLLUK more to other teachers! @IETeducation

[Dosbarth Pump @DosbarthPump]

We had a great day today showcasing our robot design, coding and core values and presenting our innovations to complete our class #masterpiece season of @FLLUK @IETeducation. On to the regionals next!

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

Our 4th year taking part in the @FLLUK Challenge as a class. Pupils past and present are incredibly fortunate to have had these opportunities thanks to @IETeducation and I'm delighted to hear that we'll be competing against some of our past pupils in the regional comp this year!

[Dosbarth Pump @DosbarthPump]

What a great start to our @FLLUK Masterpiece season! Class 5 are demonstrating excellent teamwork #corevalues #FLL #masterpiece

We hadn't heard of the @bebrasuk challenge before but 3 classes entered this year. We found it a great way of practicing so many workplace relevant skills. #bebras #mathsandnumeracy #computing #challenging #logic

[Dosbarth Tri @Dosbarth3]

We are enjoying taking part in the Bebras, computational thinking challenge and using some great reasoning skills in our group discussions.

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

A perfect example of how questioning can extend a simple task. When they were familiar with the process we made circuses with 10 acts. Some pupils were able to suggest how many acts we would need in our circus to avoid simplifying- demonstrating their knowledge of prime numbers.

[Dosbarth Pump @DosbarthPump]

We practiced simplifying fractions in our topic work today. Our whole circus could hold 12 acts. We randomly chose 12 acts to fill the circus then wrote down how many of each act we had as a fraction, simplifying as necessary. #mathsandnumeracy #fractions

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

The pupils used so many maths skills to complete this work. Love it when I don't realise how just rich a task is until the children start it!

[Dosbarth Pump @DosbarthPump]

We are using the grid method to scale up a section of an image . We measured, found halves and quarters of decimals and drew accurately using a ruler to create our grids. #mathsandnumeracy #expressivearts

Holy Name Fishguard pupils' seagrass project celebrated at Senedd https://t.co/7koongWYua

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

The future of STEM in @HNSFishguard is looking great! The whole of @Dosbarth3 worked so hard on their @FLLUK #Explore projects and the team who entered the Remote Festival received the Core Values award just like their counterparts at #challenge levelin @DosbarthPump! #balch

[Dosbarth Tri @Dosbarth3]

We are ready to present our work to the @FLLUK @TheIET in the Remote Explore Festival!

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

@RetirementTales Totally agree! I went to school already able to read fluently at 5. My mother was told I had learned to read "the wrong way". There is no right or wrong way to learn anything, just what works for that individual, and for most, this includes using a range of strategies.

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

Can bendigedig! Da iawn pawb!

[Dosbarth Pedwar @Dosbarth4]

@dosbarth4 yn mwynhau gweithio gyda’r @WelshWhisperer i gyfansoddi cân fore yma. Class 4 enjoyed working with the Welsh Whisperer this morning to compose part of a song that we will be performing with him this evening at @TheatrGwaun #SiarterIaithYES

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

What a great day celebrating the amazing work going on in Welsh schools to raise awareness of climate change and take steps together to change our world for the better #eco #Sustainability #climatechallengecymru

Such an important, valuable session for our pupils, the residents and staff at both sites. #balch #healthandwellbeing #ethicalandinformed

[Dosbarth Pump @DosbarthPump]

Thank you to the residents of St Teresa’s Rest Home and especially Eirian for making our visit to the home so enjoyable and fun! We loved talking to the residents and playing games. We can’t wait for our next visit #hwylaspri #communitylinks

Brilliant STEM work. Gwaith bendigedig Dosbarth 3!

[Dosbarth Tri @Dosbarth3]

Class 3 have been creating and programming wind turbines designed to capture the maximum amount of wind energy. @FLLUK

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

@darwincentre @floventis @SeneddWales @WG_Education @Addysg_Cymraeg @PaulDaviesPembs We are very lucky to have you to work with!

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

I love our Welsh Curriculum - I'm able to plan and create resources based on historical events within 5 miles of where I teach, mentioning streets where our pupils live and using sources written by their family members. #authentic #humanities #lastinvasion @WelshGovernment

[Nichola Thomas @pebojuno]

Very proud of the work these children have independently created! #ambitiousandcapable #ethicalandinformed

[Holy Name School @HNSFishguard]

Pupils from @DosbarthPump have carried out research into seagrass and its importance to our environment. Check out the great game, presentation and video on the website they created to explain how we can help! #ClimateChallengeCymru @Eluned_Morgan https://t.co/QyQHiparxa

Loved setting up 5 simple orienteering courses in school today for #outdoorclassroomday #outdoorlearning #orienteering
