We had a fun filled time in Techniquest with Mrs Wilkshires class last week. We learned about electricity and the power it has in the workshop. Take a look at the photos below...

We had fun yesterday dressing up as our favourite characters from a book or film.

We made crumble!
Yesterday we weighed out ingredients and used our finger tips to mix the ingredients to a breadcrumb texture. We topped the fruit with our crumble mix and looked forward to trying them at home.

Llancaiach Fawr

Llancaiach Fawr

      On Thursday 31st January, our class visited Llancaiach Fawr, a manor house built in Tudor times.

      During our visit, we found out lots about the everyday life of the Tudor people in Wales. We went inside different rooms in the house.

     When we visited the servant’s hall, we made our own ‘plague bags’ or ‘herb bags’ as they were sometimes called. We used some cloth, string and a selection of pleasantly scented herbs.

   In the kitchen, Ollie had to pretend to be the ‘spit boy’ turning the spit. In the armoury, we learned lots about the different weapons used in Tudor times. Issac was allowed to try on a helmet. He said it was very heavy.   

    After lunch, we took part in a writing activity where we wrote with hand cut quill pens & real ink. We concentrated well and Mrs King and Mrs Davies couldn’t believe how quiet we all were!

   A good time was had by all!

Electricity!!

Yesterday we visited Pontypridd museum for a hands on activity session on electricity. We looked at how electricity is conducted through different materials including ourselves. There were circuits, plasma balls, static electricity, Jacobs ladder even making a frogs legs move!
We had an amazing time and the museum is open to the public if you want to go and see it.
