Spring Term 2024
Welcome back for the Spring Term
This term, our concept is Power, and we will be studying the power of our planet, specifically natural disasters. Our big question is ‘Has global warming affected the frequency of natural disasters?’ Pupils will build up a range of knowledge and skills as they work towards answering our question.
This concept will help pupils to develop their understanding of science and technology in our modern world. They will need to research and make informed judgements about the information that they find. In addition, they will look at, work with, and understand data sets, using various software programs to help them to understand what the data is indicating. Through this evaluation of scientific evidence, learners can become ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world, who will be able to make informed decisions about future actions. Learners will also develop resilience and creativity as they embrace challenges, take risks, innovate and evaluate, whilst learning to develop solutions.

Dosbarth Mynydd have worked hard to create our own personal class prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for the world we live in,
And for every day and night.
We thank you for our food and the roof over our heads.
We are grateful for the best teachers and our wonderful class.
Help us to try our best throughout the school year,
And help me to be kind and respectful to my family and friends.
Amen
