It has been such a busy time at school again. From maths wizards to musical explorers, here is a look at what our pupils have been up to!
Looking Smart!
Take a look at our Year 6 pupils! They look fantastic in their farewell hoodies gifted from the school. Since the weather has turned so chilly, we’re certain they’ll get plenty of use out of them before the term ends!
Picnic Fun & Road Safety – Dosbarth Melynllyn
Dosbarth Melynllyn have been very busy:
- Picnic Time: They have been using dictionaries to help to write shopping lists for Grandma and Little Red Riding Hood’s picnic. They also practiced their money counting skills by finding different ways to pay for picnic treats using coins!
- Staying Safe: Year 1 have also been receiving sessions on how to cross the road safely from Helen of Kerbcraft. Diolch, Helen!
The Three Little Pigs Fun in Class Crafnant!
As part of their learning Dosbarth Crafnant have been bringing the story of the Three Little Pigs to life. The children had fantastic fun building their very own little houses using a wide variety of materials. Then came the big challenge – testing to see if their houses could withstand the huffing and puffing of the Big Bad Wolf!
Alongside developing their building and design skills, this task has been a wonderful way to develop the children's Welsh vocabulary. They have been practicing adjectives to describe their designs and the properties of the materials used.
Gardening Adventures – Dosbarth Geirionydd
In their weekly gardening session, Dosbarth Geirionydd welcomed some special visitors! Oli, Tomos, and Sue taught them all about "invasive species" through fun games and a big nature hunt. It was a great experience co-operating with each other and learning in the outdoor environment!
Maths Superstars – Dosbarth Geirionydd
A huge "well done" to Adrian, Lleucu, Stanley, and Ela! They did a brilliant job representing our school at Ysgol Bro Gwydir, taking on tricky maths challenges and quizzes against other local schools.
Musical Journeys – Dosbarth Geirionydd and Dulyn
Dosbarth Geirionydd and Dulyn been travelling the world through music! They have been exploring dynamics, beats, tempo, and "body percussion" (using their bodies as instruments!). They are now getting ready to compose their own special music all about Wales creating a graphic score and choosing instruments, tempo and dynamics to create different musical sounds.

Powering Our Knowledge
Recently we welcomed Rob and Michelle from RWE Dolgarrog to our school. They delivered an engaging presentation about our local Hydro Power Station, teaching us how water is transformed into clean, renewable energy.
Staying Safe Near the Water
Alongside the science of power, the team shared a vital safety message. They highlighted the hidden dangers of the fast-flowing gorge running right next to the Dolgarrog Disaster Memorial Gardens.
Football fever has officially arrived in our classrooms!
The children in Dosbarth Melynllyn , Dosbarth Geirionydd and Dosbarth Dulyn recently had a wonderful opportunity to learn all about the upcoming UEFA European Under-19 Championship. This major international football tournament is coming directly to our local area in North Wales! During the presentation by representatives of the FAW they discovered facts about the tournament and even got the exciting chance to see the cup trophy and imagine what it would feel like to win the entire event.
