Blwyddyn 5 have had a busy morning working collaboratively to apply STEM knowledge to solve a series of challenges set by Driving Force Uk #birchh26Y5 #birch26ST

Blwyddyn 3 participated in a #bbclivelesson for Safer Internet Day 2026. They learnt about AI and how to design a a responsible chatbot. #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 read instructions on how to make a rain gauge and worked together to complete the task. Then, we checked the weather forecast, made predictions and plan to measure how much rain will fall over the next 7 days! #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 tested their flood defences to see which material was the best at holding back the flood water. They uploaded their findings on their seesaw profile. Head over to seesaw to take a look! #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 enjoyed learning about rain by conducting their own experiment to demonstrates what happens when a cloud becomes full. There was a lot of ‘awe and wonder’ as new discoveries were made! #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 developed their coding skills to create an interactive Arctic map that shared facts about this cold place! #birch26y3 #birch26st

Dosbarth Derbyn were investigating different nocturnal animals in the sensory room 🦉🌙🪵 #birch26R #birch26ST

Blwyddyn 3 demonstrated excellent problem solving and team work skills to build igloos. #birch26Y3 #birch26ST

Blwyddyn 5 were thinking about cyberbullying today and how it can having a lasting impact. They also looked at how to help each other and themselves if they experience it. #birch26Y5 #birch26ST #birch26DCF

Blwyddyn 5 had a fantastic morning being engineers with Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd. It was lots of fun and we managed to stack a staggering 39 books onto our paper cylinders! Big thanks to Cardiff Commitment for the workshop. #birch26ST #birch26Y5

Blwyddyn 3 enjoyed learning how to code a simple programmes using scratch software. Children learnt about ‘stages’ and ‘sprites’ and how to control them. #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 learnt about the importance of a fair test during a science experiment on insulation. Talk to your child to find out which material was the best at keeping the water the warmest for the longest length of time. #birch26y3 #birch26st

To start our new topic ‘Polar Panic’ we wrapped up warm, enjoyed a hot chocolate and watched a snippet of the ‘Polar Express’ before carrying out an experiment on insulation. #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 have been learning about plants and what they need. They made predictions on what they think will happen to grass seed that has its sunlight or water or soil taken away. #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 4 had a fantastic trip to The Royal Mint. We learnt lots about how machines work and the history of coins. #birch26ST #birch26Y4

Blwyddyn 5 had a fantastic morning hunting for mini beasts as part of their Beast Creator topic. The sun was shining and there were plenty of bugs to be found. #birch26Y5 #birch26OL #birch26ST

Blwyddyn 4 have been busy this morning learning about the ‘Six Machines’. They found where they are used in school. #birch26ST #birch26Y4

Blwyddyn 3 completed a confidence line showing where they think their knowledge is on food chains before the lesson. I wonder where they’ll score themselves after? #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 3 have been identifying and categorising things that live in a woodland. They then carried out their own research, adding to their categories. #birch26y3 #birch26st

Blwyddyn 5 really enjoyed their visit from David @ Animal Zone. They gathered lots of interesting facts which will help them create their superbug! They were all very brave including the teachers! Check out our website for more photos coming shortly! #birch26y5 #birch26ST

To start our new context, Blwyddyn 6 have been using movement to represent how solids, liquids and gases differ through particles and energy #Birch26Y6 #Birch26ST

Blwyddyn 5 are investigating different arthropod features, in readiness for creating their own superbug. #birch26y5 #birch26ST
