Poetry Day!!
To celebrate National Poetry Day, Treorchy library invited us to join them and local poet Sion Tomos Owen for a day of creating poems.
We took the train from Pontypridd to Treorchy all paid for by Arriva Trains Wales. We really enjoyed our journey as some of us have never been on a train before. We were very excited to be going with our friends too!
When we arrived at the library we met Sion Tomos Owen and he helped us write our own poems using our journey on the train!
We wrote almost 100 poems between us!! We would like to thank Arriva Trains, staff at Treorchy library and Sion Tomos Owen for a truly wonderful day.
See our photos below of our train journey, library and visit to the local park.

Summer Science
Our topic theis term is Summer Science. We have been investigating how our heart rate changes when we do different forms of exercise. We measured our heart rate when we were resting, then again after doing different exercises. We chose our own activities like running, hopping, press-ups, skipping and squats. We used the results to create a graph on Microsoft Excel. We also drew our own graphs.
