year 6 transition
 |
The session involved an investigation into the suitability of different materials in the production of firemen's uniforms.
Pupils were given four different materials - aluminium foil, wire wool, cotton wool and stockinette- and were asked to decide which would be more suitable for the lining of a fireman's jacket.
The visit was one of many activities jointly organised by Ysgol Rhiwabon and our "feeder" Primary Schools. These activities take place every year,and are designed to help Year 6 pupils make the step up from primary to secondary education.
In the next few weeks, pupils from Acrefair, St. Mary's, Maes-y-Llan and Rhosymedre Primary Schools will attend similar sessions.
You can see some pictures of the visits, here.
