A spooktacular week in #Pencpeng this week! We have had so much fun 🎃🧙💀

An article in @thetimes states that strength training is vital for longevity and happiness in later life…these later life skill start in early life and we endeavour to embed these! Strength in the outdoors! #PencHWB #PencSeaturtles #PencHCI

#Pencpeng had so much fun celebrating Shwmae Day. We took inspiration from the one and only Colin Jackson to be the best we can be. We did our very own hurdle race, made Welsh flags and of course, used as many Welsh words as we could throughout the morning!

What a fab ‘Shwmae Day!’ We could not believe @BronwenLewis_ came for a return visit and even did a gig in assembly! A wonderful day of ‘giving it a go!’ Da iawn pawb! #PencCYM #PencLLC #shwmaeday

Our ‘Seren Yr Wythnos’…proud learners, proud staff and proud friends. A wonderful week of learning - learners actively being ambitious, healthy, enterprising and above all else wanting to be the best they can be! Da iawn pawb! #PencSYW

We have loved our maths warm up games this week - fast paced and engaging. ‘Dot Wars’ and our ‘Race to Erase’ games have had us all engaged and asking for more! #PencNUM #PencACL 🎲

Another week of smiles and calm…and toothpaste on our top!! Shows that we are healthy individuals! We really have had a fab week. Learning new skills, requesting activities that we love and learn from and sharing and caring for each other. Grown ups included! #PencSeaturtles

#PencStarfish What’s the verdict? YUM! We loved them! #PencSCI #PencHUM

#PencStarfish And how would they taste as part of a delicious snack? Anyone fancy a cheese and cricket pizza? #PencSCI #PencHUM

#PencStarfish Are bugs the superfood of the future? First, we investigated the facts and then we had another try! Hmmmm - let’s see what we think? Crickets, mealworms, Belgian chocolate covered crickets and our favourite, honey roasted crickets! #PencSCI #PencHUM #PencEIC

#PencStarfish And the best worm charming technique was … finger tapping. We think this technique sounded the most like rain because it made the most amount of worms wiggle to the surface! Next, we calculated the area and predicted, and finally we tested! #Penc56 #PencSCI

#PencStarfish Shwmae! We’ve had a great day celebrating Diwrnod Shwmae #Penc56 #PencCYM

Attention to detail for our Dragons…we manipulated the clay, handled the tools and persevered when the dragons head kept falling off! #PencHUM #PencEXP #PencSeaturtles

We designed our own dragons today - we experimented with clay to make our dragons come to life! We rolled, pinched,followed instructions and I dare say our dragons might need a name too! #PencSeaturtles #PencEXP #PencHUM

Before we started our sewing we looked at how tapestry has been used in Welsh textiles along with British historical story telling. We loved learning a new skill - and needed perseverance too! #PencEXP #PencHUM #PencSeaturtles

We are attempting to make our own ‘Bayeux Tapestry’…today we learnt about historical tapestry’s and how they told a story. We began learning about the skills we need for tapestry and began with some threading of the needle. #PencEXP #PencHUM

We have worked to write our own poem - we have used words from our woodland journal inspired by our literature to build our poem. We then have worked on listening and responding in a variety of ways. We also added music and movement. #PencLLC #PencSeaturtles
