Dol y Moch Day 1

Today we had a lovely breakfast before completing our jobs and meeting our instructor Di who is going to be with us all week. We were excited for a day of orienteering and a trip to Criccieth beach to look in the rock pools. We all mastered our map reading skills with a map of the centre and then headed into the woods around Llyn Mair to test our skills. We brought all our teachers back safely. Next we were off to the beach, we explored the rock pools finding many different types of crabs and other small creatures then it was off to the ice cream shop. We had pizza for tea and visited the tuck shop. This evening we completed a night line challenge to see if we could carry a bucket of water around a route in the woods without dropping any whilst trying to remember items attached to the guide rope. We have had a fantastic day and are all excited to see what will be our adventure tomorrow.

Dol y Moch arrival and first night

 We had a lovely trip up to North Wales, had lots to eat and made our beds. All settled in for a good night sleep tonight. Let the adventures begin tomorrow.

Outdoor Gym

 We were very excited when we arrived back at school after the holiday to see we now have an outdoor gym on our field. We are all looking forward to our turns using this amazing new equipment.

Fairground DT project

 This week we have been learning about fairground rides and how they work. We researched  ride and planned how we were going to make them.We then used construction materials to make a moving ride.

Here are our final rides.

NDCS Listening bus visit

 We were very excited to visit the listening bus. We met other deaf children and adults and learnt about our deaf identity and our emotions and how they affect us. We also got to try a vibrating alarm clock an see how it could help us wake up independently. 

Library opening

 This week we were excited to visit our new library. It was opened by Aaron Ashmore on Tuesday and we all enjoyed visiting for a story with our teacher and some of our parents to celebrate its opening. There is new artwork and a treehouse as well as lots of new books.
