A walk around the locality







We follwed a route to find out how much rubbish there was in Gelli. We found that the problem areas were the Industrial Estate and the River. We were all suprised that we only passed one bin on our journey.






Solutions thought of to clean up area



Josh thought that if there were more bins around the Factories there would be less rubbish.






Shauna suggested writing letters to the companies asking them to be responsible for their areas.






Ieuans' idea was that we could arrange a litter pick along the river banks.









Question and Answers


We interviewed Mr Click about what life was like in Gelli in the 1940's.

Visit to Cardiff Reform Synagogue
















On Wednesday 21st April we went on a train to Cardiff to visit the Synagogue. We learnt all about what Jew believe and what they wear to pray. We all had to wear hats on our heads called Kippahs.





Also we were allowed to look at the holy scrolls which are very special to the Jews. Jake found it interesting that one of the scrolls came from Germany. It was buried there just before the Holocaust.

Telling the Time



We have been learning to tell the time. We also solved lots of time problems which took a lot of working out and thinking!
Don't forget to keep telling the time at home for extra practise. Wearing a watch will also help.

Taking a Closer Look











We used magnifying glasses and the Whiteboard microscope to take a closer look at paper.
.

Making timelines







Joe and Evan created a timeline of events that they researched.

History Clothes

















We looked at lots of photos from the 1940'sand 1960's. We used them to discuss the fashion from those decades. We used these sources to design clothes for our display.
Shauna says she would "prefer to wear clothes from the 60's as they were cooler and much brighter".
Joel and Joe prefered the 1940's especially the uniforms that the HomeGuard use to wear.

Sorting Different Paper











We sorted lots of different papers. Some
groups sorted them into rough and smooth piles.
We thought of lots of different words to describe the different papers.
