WW2 Medal / Rationing

Last week children in Mr Williams' class visited Holyhead secondary school.  The theme of this term is WW2.  Years 4 and 5 were given the opportunity to design and make a medal for an evacuee for being brave.  The children were learning how to use a CAD programme and learn how a later printer will cut out their finished product. 
Year 6 were busy cooking.  They were given the recipe to 'Rock cakes'.  The children were busy preparing these cakes only using food that was available during the second world war.  Everyone was surprised to learn you could get more than 12 rock cakes out of a little amount of flour and 1 egg. 


Yr wythnos diwethaf aeth dosbarth Mr Williams i Ysgol Uwchradd Caergybi. Fel rhan o thema'r dosbarth ar Yr Ail Ryfel Byd, cafodd  plant blwyddyn 4 a 5 gyfle i gynllunio a chreu medal i faciwi fel arwydd o ddewrder. Yn ystod y prynhawn, dysgodd y plant sut i ddefnyddio rhaglen CAD ac hefyd darganfod  sut y mae modd i brintar laser dorri allan gwaith gorffenedig.

Cafodd plant blwyddyn 6 gyfle i goginio. Cawsant riset ar sut i wneud 'Rock Cakes' drwy ddefnyddio cynhwysion a oedd ar gael yn ystod y rhyfel. Cafodd pawb syndod o weld fod modd gwneud deuddeg cacen allan o ychydig iawn o flawd ac un wy.
