Cross Ash Humanities

As well as planning and organising a Jubilee Party in the last week of half term, Blwyddyn 6 have been developing independent research & presentation skills by creating double page spreads on QEII. #PlatinumJubilee #EthicalInformedCitizens @CrossAshHum

Learning about Cynefin & the importance of “belonging”. Farming is a rich part of our pupils’ culture & heritage & today saw a visit from some rare breed lambs, part of a flock one of our class helps to manage. #farming #BritishScienceWeek @CrossAshHum @CrossAshHW @Skirridflock

We enjoyed exploring atlases this afternoon with some super paired discussions taking place. Da iawn Blwyddyn 4! @CrossAshHum #Humanities

This afternoon we have had a lot of fun learning about #Diwali. We have been exploring Rangoli patterns and creating our own using colourful chalk. Diwali Hapus! @CrossAshEIC #EthicalInformedCitizens @CrossAshArts @CrossAshHum

Today we spent some time remembering those who lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster. We created our own sketches using charcoal to make sure we never forget the 144 lives that were lost on 21st October, 1966. @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshArts @CrossAshHum #EthicalInformedCitizens

@CrossAshRec used natural materials to create pictures of the Olympic Rings. Some colours were harder to find than others! @CrossAshHum

As part of our Olympic themed topic, we have been comparing and ordering the times of 100m winners. We decided that the times have become quicker due to advances in training, nutrition and clothing technology. #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshHum

Considering our carbon footprint and getting to grips with what it really means. #EarthDay @CrossAshHCI @CrossAshEIC #Humanities #HealthAndWellbeing @CrossAshHum @CrossAshHW

This week we enjoyed learning about the #Census2021. Here is a selection of posters encouraging people to be counted. #EthicalInformedCitizens @CrossAshEIC #Humanities @CrossAshHum #Numeracy @CrossAshMaths

We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Dydd Santes Dwynwen this week. We explored the story of Dwynwen, and created our own cards, paintings and potions. #EthicalInformedCitizens @CrossAshEIC #Humanities @CrossAshHum #ExpressiveArts @CrossAshArts

A busy morning researching a variety of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, gwaith da Blwyddyn 4! @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshHum #EthicalInformedCitizens #Humanities #Teamwork

We enjoyed using @Seesaw today to label the continents and oceans on a map of the world. Da iawn Blwyddyn 4! @CrossAshACL @CrossAshHum #Humanities #AmbitiousCapableLearners #Seesaw

As part of our Celebrating Difference topic we are reading #TheBoyAtTheBackOfTheClass. Today we considered the word refugee, what it means and how it would feel to be a refugee. #EthicalInformedCitizens #Humanities @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshHum

Our Year 5 pupils have been working so hard on their ‘Extreme Earth’ projects. They have created fantastic presentations describing a part of the world which is very different to our own! #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL #Humanities @CrossAshHum

As part of our Wonderful World topic, our pupils have created presentations about ‘Extreme Earth’ locations from across the world. Super work! Ardderchog! #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL #Humanities @CrossAshHum #LLC @CrossAshLLC

To celebrate @WorldOceansDay, we have been considering the importance of our oceans around the globe and the impact plastic waste can have on the ecosystems and life within them. Many of us were keen to find out more with @BBCEarth online. @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshHum #HomeLearning

A few examples of home learning from Year 6 linked to our Wondeful World topic. The quality of your work from home makes me so proud. Da iawn! #AmbitiousCapableLearners #Humanities @CrossAshHum @CrossAshACL

Year 2 have completed their Kerb Craft project with @Mon_RoadSafety. We can all cross the road safely and have enjoyed a trip into town to apply the skills we have learnt. #HealthyConfidentIndividuals @CrossAshHCI #HealthAndWellbeing #Humanities @CrossAshHW @CrossAshHum
