Penclawdd Primary News

Have a wonderful summer from all at Penclawdd Primary School ❤️🖤

☀️ 💧🧢🕶️ ✨ Stay Safe in the Sun... But Have Fun! ✨ 💧🧢🕶️ ☀️

That was the important message at the heart of our learning as we became sun safety champions! 😎

Our learners explored all the different ways we can enjoy the sunshine while keeping ourselves safe, from wearing hats and sunglasses to seeking shade, applying sun cream and remembering to drink plenty of water. 💧🧢🕶️

Using what we had learned, we designed our own sun safety posters, creating catchy slogans and sharing important advice to help others stay safe too.

A brilliant combination of science, health and wellbeing, and creativity -proving that we can have lots of fun in the sun while looking after ourselves and each other! ☀️❤️🖤

🐞🔍🌈 What’s a Bug’s Favourite Colour? 🌈🔍🐞

Our young scientists set out to answer an important question this week:
What is a bug’s favourite colour? 🤔

Through predictions, observations and careful investigations, we explored which colours were most attractive to the mini-beasts around our school. As the investigation unfolded, we realised we needed to adapt our methods and think carefully about how to make our results even more reliable.

Just like real scientists, we’ll be reflecting, refining and improving our investigation . 🧪✨

So far, the results are in... and it looks like oren (orange) is the winning colour! 🍊🐞

We can’t wait to see what our next investigation reveals!

We can't wait to watch our Sea Turtles flourish next year -the future is looking turtely amazing! ✨🐢

There was lots of laughter, creativity and excitement as we spent time together, making new memories and preparing for the next chapter of our learning journey.

A happy face, a learning place and a growing space awaits our future Penguins this September! ❤️🖤🐧✨
