So... it's a brand new year and we are ready as ever to make it the best yet! First week back and we've already been hard at work. Take a look below to see what has been going in on in Dosbarth Arian.
To start off the new year we decided to make ourselves promises for the year ahead. We concentrated on being positive in our ideas and came up with lots of practical promises. Now all we have to do is keep them! :0)
Once we had made our promises we discussed what type of person we would like to be during 2015. Again concentrating on the positive side of things we came up with personal qualities that we would like to gain, keep or work on throughout the coming year. Take a look at our Word Salad below to see the type of people we would like to be this year. Are there any personal qualities that you would like to work on?
Our topic this term is Black Gold. Any ideas on what that could be about? Our paired discussion led us to all sorts of conclusions!
~Moon and Sun
~Rocks and soils
~Stars and planets
Our ideas were great and very imaginative! Turns out Black Gold is a topic about how important the fossil fuel coal is! We couldn't wait to find out more about this substance and the history and science behind it so we decided to do a bit of research.

After completing our research into fossil fuels we decided to make a report. First we watched Newsround to create our own Success Criteria for the report. We decided on what we should include to make the report the best that it could be.
As you can see we had great fun in making the reports and even used the green screen app to create backgrounds! Once we had filmed we then transferred our videos into the iMovie app in order to add news themes and music.
We watched the reports as a class and we were blown away at how fantastic they were! We then helped each other to improve on what we had done by giving 2 stars and 1 wish.

In maths this week we have been learning how to plot and ready co-ordinates. Our favourite task was the treasure hunt. We loved trying to find our partners treasure in 8 questions or less and learned lots about which questions were the most and least effective! You can see by our faces on the pictures below, we definitely think this maths is FUN!
I'm sure you'd agree that we have had an excellent start to the year in Dosbarth Arian! We are very much looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings!
Have a great weeked everyone! :0))
