This week’s Maths has been about algebra, which can be a tricky concept to understand. Everyone is showing great perseverance with it and we have enjoyed the carousel of activities.
Fun with algebra!!
Cerdyn Post
Emyr from Menter Iaith has been in to work with us on an exciting new project which will encourage the use of Welsh in a fun and collaborative way through a modern ‘pen-pal’.
RVE work with Year 6
P4C (Philosophy for Children) with Y6 this term so far- independent thinking, co-operation, collaboration, tolerance, understanding and empathy
The Curiosity Channel
We have set up our own ‘YouTube’ channel called The Curiosity Channel, where viewers can write in with any of their scientific questions and we will try to create an explainer video to help them understand the answer to their question. The class have worked hard to write an introductory script, created a logo and a tune for the show. They have used Abode to put all of these elements together for our first video. Since sharing the video on our channel (on Hwb) we have been asked a question about electrical circuits. Can we help?
Helpwr Heddiw
Today we practised asking ‘What day is it?’, ‘What day was it yesterday?’ and ‘What day will it be tomorrow?’ whilst playing Pick Up Sticks!
Pa ddiwrnod yw hi heddiw? Dydd Mercher yw hi heddiw.
Pa ddiwrnod oedd hi ddoe? Dydd Llun oedd hi ddoe.
Pa ddiwrnod fydd hi yfory? Dydd Iau bydd hi yfory.
Forest School Finale!
We spent our last morning together in a Forest School session with Toni and Ruth. We tried new activities, which included making Kazoos and eating doughnuts cooked on an open fire. Everyone had a lovely time, it was the perfect way to chill when everyone was feeling so many different emotions.
Mathemateg
Maths in the last week of the summer term? Absolutely! But with a twist.
Use the given digits to create a division to solve using long division. If your answer is correct and meets the criteria you can sit out of the next calculation and play Uno instead! Some of the criteria: the largest answer, and even answer, a remainder that can be simplified, an even second digit etc!
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.
COP30
We have been learning about the location of the next COP30 meeting. Pupils have created their own glossary to help them understand it better. We have learned about the impact this meeting and the logistics around it have had on the Amazon rainforest. Information and discussion texts have been written to try and help us make informed decisions for ourselves.
