On Monday 1st of April Del came in to talk to us about how to save someone. First we wrapped a partner’s arm with a bandage. After that we wrapped a bandage around the person’s head. Del showed us the way to wrap a bandage around a person’s head or arm. Then we were shown how to do CPR. We had 6 dummies and all took turns performing CPR. Then we were taught how to prevent someone from choking. Finally, we were taught how to deal with burns and were told the most common method of burn in the world was hair straighteners!

On Wednesday the yr 5/6 class made a pulley system because they have been learning about pulleys, cogs and levers. They split up into groups to make a pulley. They used items from a tray and junk items. They used things like string, wheels, pulley blocks and cups. Some groups consisted of 5 people down to 2. After that we set up a set of instructions to make a pulley system. They also included a list of items you will need to make a pulley system. These included scissors, sello tape/ sticky tape, skewers and other necessary items. They also made a diagram of the pulley system they made.

On Thursday me and some other representatives are going to perssimon building site across the road. We will be making a time capsule to lay inside a hole. We will then cover it in dirt and we will put items in this time capsule. Someone will in the future dig up this time capsule!

On Friday 15th February the year 5/6 class went to a mock Baptism in Alltwen. We went through the mock baptism with a doll named Le Bron Stevens. We started with music and singing from our class and we had piano and trumpet accompaniments. We went through the service like you would if you were doing a real baptism. Also we had grandparents, parents, god parents and friends. The god parents were Corey, Zak, Ffion and Charlotte and the parents were Ben and Lacey. At the end of the service we had refreshments and the reverend taught us about holy water and oil.

Last week on Tuesday our class and the year 5s from the other class went to see a show of the wizard of Oz in Cwmtawe. This show was a musical . The show was about a girl named Dorothy who got flown away in a twister and landed in the magical land of Oz  where she travelled to thw Emerald City. Along the way she met a Scarecrow , Tin man and a Lion. However once they get to emerald city the great and powerful Oz made a deal. Dorothy and her friends had to kill the wicked witch of the west. In return Dorothy would  go home, the Lion would be brave, Tin man would get a heart and Scarecrow would get a brain.

Tomorrow  we’re going to be experimenting with different coloured lights to see if we can create coloured shadows. We will be using one light to see if anything happens, then two lights at a time to see if it makes the shadows different. We’re then going to be using the three coloured lights. We will be making every possible outcome to see if it varies in colour. We will be using different objects during this experiment. I predict that there won’t be a coloured shadow because a shadow is the absence of colour so making a coloured shadow should be impossible. However the shadow may have an outline of colour.
