Today, Mr Ffit would like you to go outside and have a game of hide and seek. Perhaps you could hide or maybe, you could hide an object and have a family member look for it by giving them clues. But if the weather is too wet or too cold, how about building an assault course inside your house? Below is a video showing you how to do a basic assault course indoors. It does look like a lot of fun.

On google classroom we have been looking at Skeletons. Have a go at making your own skeleton. If you don't have split pins you can try using a paper clip of some short pieces of string.

Don't forget to post your pictures of your creations on google classroom or twitter.

Have a lovely day.

Bore da pawb,

Today on Google Classroom we have been looking at spelling strategies. Choose 8 words from your list and put them into this wordsearch. Then add extra letters around the words and give it to a family member to see if they can find your words. You could also have a family member do a wordsearch for you too.

Mr Ffit's challenge today is to see how many frog jumps you can do in 1 minute. Below is a video to show you how to do frog jumps properly. Challenge your family members too and make it a proper competition.

Today we are focussing on kindness. Can you show someone a random act of kindess by doing something for someone else and not expecting a reward for it. What did you do? Let us know on Twitter or Google Classroom.

Being kind helps us to have a happy heart. What can we do to keep our hearts happy and what can we do to make someone else's heart happy. Fill in the picture below to show some of your ideas.

Below is a link to Cosmic kids yoga. We are nearly at the end of the first half term of 2021 and you've all been working so hard. So I chose this compilation video to help you to relax, be positive and stay strong. 

Have a lovely day all.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Mr Ffit would like you to eat 3-5 different fruit today. Maybe you could make another smoothie incuding lots of different fruits, or perhaps make a fruit salad? These are easy ways to eat lots of fruit at a time. Mr Ffit would also like you to take part in a physical activity, so why not join Joe Wickes in doing one of his online PE lesson today?

Below is an Inventor Scavenger Hunt. Have a look around your house to see how many of each you can find. Take photos or record yourselves listing the items you found. 

Have a lovely day.

Did you know that today is Dydd Miwsig Cymru (Welsh language music day)? What Welsh songs do you like? What about Welsh music artists? How many can you name?

Today Mr Ffit would like you to share a picture or drawing of you being healthy. You could be exercising, eating healthy food, taking time for yourself or spending time outdoors. Make your picture big, colourful and have a clear message about what is healthy.

For Children's Mental Health Week, can you create a poster showing how to keep a healthy mind, because it's not just our bodies that need to be healthy. We need to be able to think in a healthy way too.

Listening to music is a good way to relax our minds, enjoy listening to disco version of Sosban fach below.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Wednesday 3rd February

Bore da pawb,

Today I have 3 activities for you focussing on your feelings.

Today Mr Ffit would like you to do an outdoor activity and a mindfulness activity. If the weather is dry, why not go out for a 30 minutes walk and use your senses. What can you hear? What can you see? What can you touch? What can you smell?

After the walk, sit somewhere comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Listen to some lovely music to help you.

Finally, put on a favourite film. Whilst watching it, can you identify different feelings and emotions in certain scenes of the film?

Have a lovely day.

Tuesday 2nd February

Bore da pawb,

Today for Children's Mental Health Week, can you find different emotions in the wordsearch? What emotions are you expressing today?

Mr Ffit would like you to create a healthy smoothie today for Cadw'n heini Chwefror gyda Mr Ffit. There are lots of different recipes online and I've included one below for you, its a carrot and Orange smoothie. It sounds delicious.

(Excerise with Mr Fit).  Everday I will be putting an activity on the website to do with keeping your body and mind healthy. Today's task is to just do some exercise. So, PE with Joe Wickes is on today. Let's do a quick workout with him.

This week is also Children's Mental Health week.  We will be looking at things we can do to make ourselves feel better and demonstrate different ways that we can express our emotions and help each other. There is a website below to give you more information but today's task is to dress up to express yourself. Remember to take pictures and tweet them on our Twitter Page @BRYNps7 or you can upload them onto our Google Classroom.

This weekend is the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch Weekend. It's a great chance to see what amazing birds and other wildlife can be found in gardens and areas around our homes. 

Below is a link to the RSPB website where you can find out more about cetain birds, how to take a perfect picture of a bird and you can even take a quiz to find out what bird you are.

There's also some pictures to see what certain birds are called and how to make a bird feeder to attract birds to your area. 

We would love to see what birds you have found, so send us any pictures you take by posting on twitter @BRYNps7 or Google Classroom.

Next week we will be starting our live streaming on Google Meet and we can't wait to see you all. I know that many of you have already emailed your consent forms to the office but if you have not done this yet and would like to be part of the live calls, please return the email consent to the office. Details of your allocated call will be posted on Google Classroom later this week.

Weather hasn't been so nice recently so it would be nice to spread some positive thoughts. When outdoors, look for a nice flat pebble. Clean it once you're home and then paint it with a lovely message. Leave it somewhere for someone to see it and pass on the positivity. For some inspiration, look at the picture below.

Finally, just for fun, take a personality quiz. You could see what baby animal you are, what planet you are and even which flavour icecream you are.

Let us know what you did on Twitter or Google Classroom.

How are your neck nodders and cheese chompers after yesterday's activities?

Today we have a "Drop the penny" race. Why not challenge your family to see how quickly they can drop the penny into the egg holder. (You can use cups instead of egg boxes if you haven't got any.) Maybe you could adapt this and time how long it takes to drop 5 pennies into a cup from waist height. 

Year 3 have been looking at symmetry this week, but all of you could have a go at creating this spectacular pattern by splitting your page into symmetrical parts and then drawing triangles inside each part. I bet that, when coloured in, this would make a really impressive piece of art.

Remember to take pictures of your creations and activities and post them on our Twitter page or Google Classroom.

Have a lovely day.

Bore da pawb,

With St Dwynwen's Day yesterday I started thinking about how things make me feel. Yesterday I was feeling sad because we are still not back in school, but I was also feeling calm because I had made a list of all the things that I had to do that day and I was grateful that I had had a good night's sleep ready to complete all of my jobs. Below is a gratitude tracker. You can keep track of your weekly emotions and what you are grateful for by colouring in this tracker according to the instructions. 

After all the hard thinking you have been doing about numeracy, literacy and your feelings, it's time to let loose a bit. So here is a GoNoodle video for you to shake things off and be a bit silly for a few minutes. 

Remember to take photos of your work and upload them to Google Classroom or Twitter. We really do love seeing your creations. It makes us very happy!!! 

Monday 25th January

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus - Happy Saint Dwynwen's Day.

Today is the Welsh version of Valentine's Day. You can watch a video of the story of Saint Dwynwen in the link below.

So first thing today, let's get our hearts racing and do a good workout with Joe Wickes. Just google PE with Joe Wickes and click on today's video. Feel free to do the other videos too.

Then why not try to make an Origami Heart. Follow the instructions below. All you need is 1 piece of coloured paper.

Hope you all have a LOVEly day.

Hooray for Friday!!!!!!!! 

Hopefully the weather will be a bit better today. Why not go for a walk. Collect different items you find whilst walking or record sounds in a survey that you hear whilst you're out. You could show us the different sounds or items you collected by creating a pictogram, bar graph or table. Why not be really creative and make a pictograph out of the items. That would look lovely.

After your walk, why not relax with a few lovely books. Which books do you need to read in Oxford Reading Owl? Let us know which books you have enjoyed reading today.

Have a great day and a lovely weekend everyone.  See you Monday!!!!

There have been so many changes to vehicles throughout history, from cars that needed winding up to now electric cars, planes, rockets etc. A really cool vehicle is a hovercraft. It can travel on land and water. AMAZING!! So below is a video to show you how you can make your own hovercraft using materials found around the home. It does say to use a hot glue gun, if you do not have one of these, try normal glue with sticky tape too. 

Time to get moving and dance around to Blue da ba dee Just dance video. I know that lots of you like this song. So enjoy!!!

Wednesday 20th January

Carrying on with our Victorians link, why not try making a Victoria Sponge. It's called this because it was named after Queen Victoria as she really enjoyed having a slice of this delicious bake.

I don't know about you, but I love "The Masked Singer" and so far, I haven't guessed any correctly. But how about trying some Masked Singer poses with some Cosmic Kids Yoga today?

Have a great day everyone.

Weather hasn't been so nice recently but we still need to stay active. Here's a 25 move challenge for you today. I wonder if you can manage to do every task?

Welcome back class. 

We hope you've had a lovely weekend.

We're looking at inventions at the moment and one of the inventions that became popular during the Victorian Era was Silhouette art. Why not try creating a silhouette drawing of yourself? Here are a few examples and a video showing you how to do it. You could do one for each member of your family. 

It's important that you take time to relax during this strange time. Below is a 10 minute mindfulness lesson from Cosmic kids. You'll be amazed by how good you feel at the end of the video. So sit down and enjoy!!

Here is a picture of Queen Victoria's family tree. As you can see she had a very large family. Why not create your own family tree today. You and any brothers or sisters that you have will be at the bottom of the tree, then work your way up to your parents, then grandparents. If you know more of your relatives like great grandparents then include them too. Remember to add drawings of your family members to make it look good. 

Time to get moving. Why not learn your tables whilst moving with some famous football mascots. Learn the 4 times tables with Cyril the Swan and the 6 times tables with Fred the Red. 

Have a great day.

Make your own Thaumatrope. This is a toy that makes pictures come to life. It's an optical illusion but very popular and so easy to make. There is instructions below but there's also a video link to watch if that's easier. Please send pictures of your creations to Twitter or Google Classroom.

Why not have a good old game of musical statues to shake away these Winter blues. Get your family members together, put on your favourite songs and boogie woogie until the music stops. Remember to stand as still as you can, otherwise you will be out of the game. 

Hope you have a lovely day.

We've been looking at inventions and famous inventors. One invention during the Victorian Era was the postage stamp. These days stamps come with lots of different pictures on them, especially during certain events or times of the year. Could you design a new stamp. Maybe it could have a unique invention on it, or something to remember 2020 / 2021?

It's still a bit cold outside so lets keep warm and do some Cosmic Kids yoga. Today they are in a rocket!! Another amazing invention. Just click on the link below and have fun.

He will be doing lessons every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am. It's a great way for you and the family to have fun whilst being active.

Perhaps you could practise taking photographs of some of the incredible things you find, or pick up some natural items and try making some art with them like Richard Shilling does. Look at the link below to see some of the things he has made. 

After your walk, warm up with a nice cosy blanket and a warm drink whilst you find some New Year related words in our wordsearch.
