  Mr Jones joined the Foundation Phase on their 'Mile around the MUGA' our healthy schools initiative, took part in a Q&A session with Dosbarth Swansea City, celebrated our many achievements in our weekly celebration assembly, giving out the Anti-Bulying Ambassadors Certificates and finally had a portrait painted by our budding artists at Fochriw! 

  

• Anti Bullying Ambassadors Program!

  Thu 22 Sep 2016
  This week, a group of 12 children from KS2 went to the Oasis Academy in Bristol to take part in the Anti-Bullying Ambassadors Program. The children were trained how to become an Anti-Bullying Ambassador for their school. The children had a fantastic day, and will be putting all they have learnt into practice at Fochriw! 

  

• Thrills, Spills, Coding and Mechanisms!

  Wed 14 Sep 2016

  Dosbarth Swansea City

  This term our topic is Thrills and Spills. For our immersion trip, we went to The Eden Centre to learn all about mechanisms and forces, and how to construct them. During our time there we created a mechanical arm, and had to create enough pressure to make it move. The second task was to create a formula one car using Lego. We had to program and code the car to move, in groups we then raced our cars! 

   

   

  

• Dosbarth Merthyr Town walked like Egyptians!

  Tue 13 Sep 2016 J.Elliott

  This week was the start of our 'Immersion trips!' and as our Topic this term is the Egyptians, we went to Swansea University where we learnt all about them. We learnt about the Egyptian Gods, animals, how Egyptians dressed and we even got to take part in the mummification process! It was incredibly fun! Take a look at the pictures below and ask your child what they learnt!
