Amazingly Marvellous Me - Healthy Body, Healthy Mind

We will be looking at how we keep our bodies fit and healthy, how our hearts work and using Hwb to present our information. We will be learning about the different food groups and their importance for a balanced diet. Sugar investigations will identify many myths associated with "healthy" food and drinks. We will also look at the dangers of excessive screen time and the importance of a good night's sleep. 

We will also be promoting positive friendships and what this looks like in school and the community as well as learning strategies to help identify and regulate emotions.

Learning Experiences - 

Exploring Identity through Portraits workshop at Cardiff Museum 

The children visited different rooms in the gallery, first looking at realism portraits and then looking at abstract pieces of work. Following on from this, the children created their own self portraits and then studied the work of Picasso, creating their own abstract portraits. 

The Jungle Book drama workshop

Image came into school to work with the children, with many of them taking part in the performance. There was lots of drama and singing. 

Our Library Visits 

Every few weeks we visit Treorchy library, choosing books we are interested in, chatting about authors and the many displays shown in the foyer. These books are used for sessions back in class. It is important for us to support our local library, keeping it open. 

The Daily Mile - Promoting healthy lifestyles and a brain break from lessons 

Christmas Concert

It’s the night before Christmas, and Bethlehem is holding its annual baking competition. This year, though, there are a few surprise contestants: some shepherds from the local fields, a choir of angels from the heavens, and three wise-looking chaps who arrived on camels.

Following on from this, the children will be baking delicious sweet treats for our Christmas Fete, understanding that these can be part of a healthy and balanced diet.
