Our Debate

This week, the children had to hold a debate as to whether new houses should be built in Llanharry. They organised themselves into groups of: Builders, Residents, Local Businesses, School Children and Environmentalists. Each group had the opportunity to put across their side of the argument and to ask and answer a range of questions. Some were very passionate about the proposal!

Da iawn, Dosbarth 7!

Iceberg Ahead!

This week, we planned and carried out an experiment in Science. We wanted to find out how quickly ice cubes melted in water of different temperatures. We borrowed equipment from Y Pant to help us.

Our results show that the hotter the water, the faster the ice cubes melt.

The children worked in groups, with some children observing and some children timing.

Solar Eclipse

On Friday there was a Solar Eclipse. We used special glasses, a welder's mask, colander and paper plates with pinholes to see the eclipse safely. We discussed the importance of keeping ourselves safe by not looking directly at the sun. We also helped some children in the Infants to use some of the items too.

Cycling

Last week year 6 did a cycling course. On the first day we cycled around the yard. We learnt how to cycle safely. We also learnt how to signal, stop, get on our bikes safely and cycle in a straight line looking backwards.We all passed level 1! The two teachers were Ed and Andrew.

They taught us how to ride on the road safely. We went on the roads for level 2 we did signals looking behind us and our ABC's. ABC stands for air,brake and chain. Most of us passed level 2. We did snaking that means we do the same thing that the person in front does. And when we had our last lesson we all had certificates for passing level 1 and level 2. It was amazing for the past few days, We really enjoyed it!
