Outdoor Learning
We have been very lucky to have Mrs Vale in year 5 this year to take us Outdoor Learning. We have been learning about fire-lighting, making pictures out of natural materials, drawing using chalks, team-building and have taken part in meditation sessions. We are building towards den-building and are enhancing the skills we will need for this. It's lots of fun!
Class 13 Creative School Project
Class 13 have been lucky enough to be chosen to do the Arts Council of Wales' Creative School Project for this year. It is a project where creative practitioners work with individual schools to deliver a bespoke programme of learning. The schools gain access to creative professionals, their skills and resources to improve teaching and learning. It is a wonderful project to be a part of and this is now Gwauncelyn's second year of working alongside the Creative School team.
The focus for the project is to explore the culture of Wales whilst adapting the outdoor area. We are so lucky here at Gwauncelyn that we have the lovely grounds surrounding our school and we wanted them to be part of the children's learning experience. The children will be studying 'The Mabinogion' stories and will be enhancing their drama skills, literacy skills and oracy skills by working alongside Jo White. In addition to this, the children will also be working alongside Jason Hicks, who is a set designer and prop maker. It's creativity all around!
Our First Sessions with Jo!
