The children in Dosbarth Onnen have been talking about why we wear poppies for Remembrance. They have created some wonderfully unique artwork during their Over to You time, da iawn pawb.
Year 5 enjoyed learning all about Mrs Taylor’s Father who was in the Navy during WW2. We looked at pictures of him in his uniform and the interesting documents he kept.
During the spring term, Years 3 and 4 have been taking part in a very exciting project! Ysgol Borthyn have been participating in a Lead Creative Schools Project in conjunction with the Arts Council of Wales. It is designed to nurture the creativity of young people, raise their aspirations and achievements and prepare them with the skills for life-long learning.
This has meant that the children have had the opportunity to work with two creative artists, Martin Daws a spoken word poet and Alana Tyson a Canadian born artist who now lives in Wales. Our Project was called “Together”.
They focused on getting the children to collaborate and work together cooperatively as well as developing their oracy skills. An amazing experience for them all.
