This half term, the children in Dosbarth Coch have loved exploring our Frozen topic. We were lucky to experience real snow, which meant the children could build mini snowmen, make snow angels and enjoy winter walks around school. These real experiences helped us talk about the weather, seasons and how our environment changes in winter.

We enjoyed cookery sessions where the children made cream cheese snowmen, ice pops and edible icebergs. These activities supported their independence and early science skills as they learned about melting, freezing and different textures.

In class, we read winter stories such as Jack Frost and Dear Snowman, which inspired lots of lovely discussion and creative work. The children also explored sensory materials like snow dough and fluffy paint to create winter art. We learned about the four seasons and investigated Arctic animals and icy habitats through hands‑on experiments.

A highlight of the term was our exciting visit from Wild Science. The children were able to meet and even hold animals including a corn snake, guinea pig, quail and a whiptail scorpion. They showed great confidence and curiosity throughout.

We also continued our weekly sessions with Bryn Bach Outdoor Pursuits, where the children lit small fires, toasted marshmallows, helped put up a tent and had a go at archery. These outdoor adventures have been brilliant for building confidence and teamwork.

It has been a fantastic half term full of discovery, creativity and hands‑on learning.
