Lesson 3 with Dyfed and Zoe is now available on the right hand side of this page.

The 2nd lesson of remote learning with Dyfed and Zoe WNO is on the right hand side of the blog. Time to sing King March everyone!

Singing is an important part of our life at Maes-y-Coed,  so we are keen to keep pupils singing and enjoying music home.

WNO

Dyfed and Zoe from the Welsh National Opera have kindly made an audio file for the children to practise finishing their song from King March. The link for this is on the right hand side of this class blog. There will be weekly audio clips for the children to practise for the next few weeks. You are more than welcome to sing along with your child!!

Eisteddfod

Today we celebrated our Eisteddfod. We sang the song 'I Bob un sydd ffyddlon' and  recited the poem 'Sbwriel' on the stage. We created artwork in the style of Martyn Evans and held a handwriting competition on our poem 'Sbwriel'

Big Pit

Today we went to visit Big Pit in Blaenavon as part of our topic on coal. It was very cold and extremely windy when we got there but that didn't stop us from having fun. We looked around the museum at the machinery the miners used, saw the canaries in the lamp room and went into an interactive show which had loud bangs and noises. It was very informative and fun following the miner on the screen around the show. After lunch we went down the mine. We put on hats with torches and a heavy belt that had a battery and breathing apparatus. We went 90m down to the coalface and the miner took us through the mine showing us how they worked years ago. We are the right age to work the doors in the pitch black for 12 hours but we decided school is better!
