Spring Term Topic
In Year 5 we will be looking at Coasts around Wales and the United Kingdom. We will look at the environmental impact global warming is having on our coastlines and how this affects all of our lives. We will study the ways in which flood defences are being developed- which is particularly significant to us here in Peterston !
This term will also include activities for Mental Health Week, Internet Safety Week and our Eisteddfod, where we celebrate our wonderful Welsh culture

Our stay at Llangrannog
When we arrived at Llangrannog we had our lunch which was sausages, chips and salad plus more. Then we did our first activity was archery, which was really fun but I didn't do very well because it was my first time using a proper bow and arrow. Our second activity was teambuilding which was lots of games including "Head, Catch" and "Under and Over." Then our last activity of the day was Bushcraft which we had to try and light a few pieces cotton wool and if everybody succeeded we could toast marshmallows ! We did it! (They were really gooey and yummy!) Nell

Don’t forget the riddle:
Hey diddle diddle, the median’s the middle,
You add then divide for the mean.
The mode is the one that you see the most,
And the range is the difference between.
