We have consolidated all our learning of the rainforest by making a rainforest in a shoebox. We thought about the weather, features of the rainforest and the animals that live there.

Ein Cartref / Our Home
As part of our community-based art project, we worked with Ciara and Izzy from Old School Arts to create a mural of birds flying over Knighton. Every learner in the school was involved in the project, from painting the mural to creating their own bird. This project followed our work from Refugee Week and the theme of ‘Community as a Superpower’ and that together we are strong, creative and make things happen.
Lego Spike Essential-Rainforest Buggy
This afternoon we had great fun creating a rainforest buggy for explorer Bethan using the Lego Spike Essential from our cluster coding kit. We followed the instructions carefully to create the buggy and then we used our programming skills to change the colour of the lights. Great team Work!
Dydd Cymraeg
Today we had a great day celebrating Wales through lots of fun, Welsh activities. Reception focused on ‘Sut wyt ti?’ and Year One ‘Ble wyt ti’n byw?’ We played parachute games, decorated biscuits with feelings and houses and loved the silent disco!
Dydd Cymraeg
We decorated some biscuits showing if we were feeling hapus, drist, bendigedig or wedi blino.
Then we had lots of fun at the silent disco.
Packing for the Rainforest
Reception pupils had the task of packing Bethan’s (welsh explorer) suitcase for her trip to the rainforest. Pupils decided what to put in the case and take out of the case, using their knowledge of what the rainforest is like and the weather there.
Health and Well-being
Jigsaw-Relationships
We played ‘Musical Friendships’ as part of our work on being a good friend. When the music stopped we had to find a friend and do something kind. We had lots of hugs, fist bumps and high fives! It made us all feel really happy!
Ffrydd Wood
This afternoon, Reception and Year One enjoyed a local woodland walk. We discussed the features of the wood, how it felt and what we could hear. We compared it to the rainforest.
VE Day Anniversary Activities
We had great fun completing VE Day Lego Challenge cards. We chose who we worked with and which challenge we wanted to complete. We made celebration cakes, peace gardens, spitfires, Union Jack flags and old-fashioned radios. We have shown that we have great construction skills!
VE Day Celebration Lunch
We had a fabulous VE Day celebration lunch accompanied by Knighton Town Silver Band. Thank you to our wonderful kitchen staff and Knighton band members!
