Welcome to Class 8 2020!!

Everyone is settling in so well! This week we are focusing on wellbeing. We're naming feelings and reading a playscript based on the film, "Inside Out".

Friday 17th July

Well Class 8, it's Friday and it's the last day of the summer term! Before you go on to see what your tasks are for today, we want to say how very proud we are of your efforts this term. Your positive attitudes, and enthusiasm for learning has been admirable, and you all deserve a good rest now. We have loved chatting with you on Google Classroom and Twitter, and seeing you develop and learn (especially your ICT skills, which are amazing by the way!). Your parents and families also deserve a high five, as we know they have worked just as hard to support you at home. Keep being yourselves and keep reaching for the stars class 8!

Now, go and enjoy your summer break....(after you have checked out today's tasks of course! :-D)

Watch the videos below about what Charles Darwin did.

Use this template to write your own detailed notes about an animal that lives in or around water. It can be anything you like! Find out about it's diet, how it moves, where it lives, how it communicates. What classification of animal is it: fish, mammal, amphibian, bird, reptile, crustacean or insect?

Bore da dosbarth 8!

You have completed such brilliant work this week, well done! Let's keep it up today! :-)

Task 1 - I would like you measure the age of a tree. 

Measure me, treasure me fun maths activity

This one is a classic that can be done outside or recreated at home. Find the approximate age of a tree using just a tape measure or piece of string!

Children measure the distance around the trunk roughly one metre from the ground. As every 2.5cm of girth correlates to around one year’s growth, they can then work out the age of the tree.

For example, a tree with a girth of 100 cm will be roughly 40 years old (100 ÷ 2.5 = 40).

If you can’t get outside, get someone to stand still and recreate trees themselves to measure (they’ll have loads of fun pretending their arms are branches!)

Task 2 - I would like you to really think hard about what you love about yourself...

You can either print out the template below and record your thoughts on that, or create your own 'What I love about me' poster. Please tweet your work/ photos using @BryncethinPS8 . There's so much to love about yourself!

Have an awesome Thursday :-)

Good morning Class 8!

Hope you're all having a lovely week so far...

Wednesday 6th May

Bore da dosbarth 8! 

After researching schools around the world, we noticed that many of the schools look so different. Each day spent in each school is carried out differently, and not every school is fortunate to have certain resources such as tables and chairs, computers/ technology, or even walls!

Today I want you to think about an occasion that we celebrate here in our school in South Wales. I would like you to illustrate a celebration that you enjoy taking part in, and include some written information with it so that if someone from another country was to look at your work, they would learn something new about our school/country celebrations in Wales.

I have shared some information with you about other celebrations that go on in other countries:

The end of gymnasium (or high school) in Denmark is seen as a considerable accomplishment and is celebrated. After a month of final exams, Danish students receive a special graduation cap, which is placed upon their heads by their parents upon their last examination, and which many sport all month long. Each school holds a formal graduation ceremony, but it is right after the ceremony that the real fun begins. Students pile onto open-top trucks to tour around town, stopping for a short time at each student’s house along the way. Here, family and friends gather to welcome the graduates with drinks, food and a toast before they hustle back aboard their rides to continue the parade.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zkkr7nb visit this page to read about other celebrations that happen in other schools around the world.

Your other task for today is to practise spelling the following words by rainbow writing them. Either write each letter or word in a different colour. You could even write them in the shape of a rainbow!

accident       accidentally

actual           actually

address        although

answer         appear

arrive           believe

Please tweet your tasks using @BryncethinPS8

Thursday 23rd April

Bore da, what a lovely sunny day.

Take a look at these activities for you today.

English

Choose a book, it could be your school reading book. Can you find all these words in the book?

You could create your own for a member of your family to try.

Science/Maths

Let's learn about sundials.

The Sundial is the oldest device known for measuring time. Sundials dating back over 4,000 years ago have been found by archaeologists at excavation sites in Egypt. This clock measures time by measuring changes in the length and the direction of shadows cast by the Sun. The numbered markings show what time of the day it is when the shadow of a pointer called a gnomon falls on the sundial’s face. As the Earth moves around the Sun, the shadow moves across the sundial. You will need to go outside three different times during the day (morning, noon, and later afternoon) to check for changes in the shadows. As the Sun rises in the east and moves across the sky to set in the west, the early morning shadows are long and fall to the west. At noon, the Sun is directly overhead and the shadows are the shortest. In the late afternoon, the shadows are long and fall to the east.

Let's make a sundial.

Watch this video and have a go at making your very own sundial.

If you don't have a paper plate then you could use card from a cereal box cut into a circle.

Have fun in the sun!

Wednesday 22nd April

Good morning and bore da!

Here are some activities for you to try today.

Maths

Next have a go at creating your very own board game to play with your family. You can use these pictures to help you. You could use cardboard packaging as a base for the board, then design your own grid and rules. Maybe the game could be linked to a theme such as rugby, pets. Have fun!

Tuesday 21st April

Take a look at these Easter egg hunt clues. Can you write your own for an Easter hunt in your home. Could you make them rhyme?

Jar of Gratitude

Decorate a jar or container using paper, pom poms, stickers and jewels.  Each day of the Easter holidays think of one think that you appreciate or something that makes you happy. Then write it down and put it into your jar. 

You can then read the contents and see how many things we all have to appreciate.

On that note, I would like to thank you all for your hard work and efforts both with these activities and on Hwb too.

There will be no work posted on this website or Hwb until Monday 20th April.

Take this opportunity to relax and have fun with your family members.

I would like to wish you and your families a very Happy Easter.

Take care, each and everyone and keep smiling.

See you soon,

Mrs Witheridge
