The half-term has gone very quickly. The children have
enjoyed learning about animals. The theme will continue
until the summer. So far the children have learned
about the farm animals and minibeasts. The children enjoyed conducting a scientific experiment to
predict how worms use senses. In the photos you can see the children tried to eat like a worm- with no
hands! They loved this, it was so much fun. The children have enjoyed writing factually about the farm
animals and mini beasts. In mathematics the children have been developing number skills and developing
their time telling skills. The children thoroughly enjoyed the bike show that came to the school, they
were delighted to see the special stunts. Enjoy the half term.

BLWYDDYN 6

Yn ystod yr hanner tymor prysur hwn, mae Blwyddyn 6 wedi bod yn astudio gwahanol fathau o anifeiliaid ac wedi llwyddo i'w dosbarthu
mewn gwahanol grwpiau. Buom yn edrych ar grwpiau fel infertebrat, fertebrat, cramenogion, mamaliaid, ymlusgiaid, arachnidau. Roeddem
mewn cymeriad fel taconomegyddion a chawsom y dasg o grwpio anifeiliaid ar gyfer agor sw newydd. Hefyd, mewn parau, crëwyd tudalen we
a oedd yn cynnwys gwybodaeth am rai anifeiliaid anhygoel a beth yw eu nodweddion arbennig. Mae rhai anifeiliaid diddorol iawn yn y
byd.  Gwnaethom hefyd gynnal arbrawf sy'n edrych ar dwf micro-organebau ar fwyd. Rhagfynegwyd ym mha amgylchedd y byddai'r mowld
yn tyfu orau ac os byddai haul neu dywyllwch yn cyflymu'r broses fowldio. Roeddem i gyd yn synnu o weld bod y mowld wedi tyfu'n
gyflymach ar y bara a gedwir yn nhywyllwch y cwpwrdd, yn hytrach nag yn yr haul. Yn ogystal â'r holl waith gwyddonol, gwnaethom gwblhau
llawer o waith ar ein genre, trafodaeth. Cawsom sawl trafodaeth ddiddorol yn y dosbarth gyda disgyblion yn rhoi eu barn o blaid ac yn
erbyn sawl pwnc gwahanol. Roedd ein tasg ysgrifennu estynedig olaf ar y cwestiwn "A ddylid cadw anifeiliaid yn y sw?" Gyda hyn daeth sawl
barn ddiddorol a thystiolaeth ategol. Rwy'n credu bod y dosbarth yn dal i fod yn rhanedig ar yr ateb i'r cwestiwn. Beth fyddai eich barn
chi?  Byddwn yn parhau â'r thema ar ôl hanner tymor ond bydd gan Blwyddyn 6 hanner tymor diwethaf prysur a llawn yn Ysgol Trimsaran. 

During this busy half term, Year 6 have been studying different types of animals and have managed to classify them in different groups.
We looked at groups such as vertebrates, invertebrates, crustaceans, mammals, reptiles, arachnids. We were in character as taxonomist
and were presented with the task of grouping animals for the opening of a new zoo. Also, in pairs, we created a webpage that included

information on certain amazing animals and what are their special characteristics. There
are some very interesting animals in the world.  We also conducted an experiment that looks
at the growth of microorganisms on food. We predicted in what environment the mould would
grow best and if sun or darkness would speed up the moulding process. We were all surprised
to find that the mould grew quicker on the bread kept in the darkness of the cupboard,
rather than in the sun. A well as all the scientific work, we completed a lot of work on our
genre which was discussion. We had several interesting discussions in class with pupils giving
their opinion for and against several different topics. Our final extended writing task was on
the question “Should animals be kept in the zoo?” With this came several interesting opinions
and supporting evidence. I think the class is still divided on the answer to the question.
What would your opinion be?  We will be continuing with the theme after half term, but
Year 6 will have a busy, jam packed last half term in Trimsaran School.
