We were delighted to welcome Archdeacon Alan from the Brecon & Swansea Diocese to our school this week. During his visit, Archdeacon Alan spent time meeting members of staff and our Worship Council, and he was incredibly impressed by their enthusiasm and dedication. His encouragement and affirmation were truly uplifting for everyone involved.
We have been developing the children’s physical literacy through a range of parachute games that encourage movement, coordination, and teamwork. The children have been running, jumping, stretching, and working together to create waves, lift the parachute high, and quickly swap places underneath it. They have been practising balance and spatial awareness while moving in sync with their peers, listening carefully to instructions, and cooperating to keep the parachute moving smoothly. These sessions have been energetic, inclusive, and highly engaging, giving the children plenty of opportunities to build confidence, strengthen their gross motor skills, and enjoy being active through playful, imaginative activities.

We enjoyed our trip to The Judge’s Lodging in Presteigne. We tested and made beds for comfort, explored private apartments, and even pumped water in the Victorian kitchen. We dived into the ‘upstairs, downstairs’ lifestyle by discovering traditional games and toys scattered throughout the house. We experienced the vast, echoing courtroom and we stood in the very spot where historic trials—such as that of local duck thief William Morgan once took place.
We looked at holy books and we thought of words to describe them. We also thought about questions that we would like to find out about these sacred texts. We talked about how the Bible is structured and why it is a best seller.

We had a fabulous session with Carys from Ffa La La who shared songs and played games to help us to develop our Welsh language skills. Da iawn Pawb!
Year 2 and 3 pupils have been diving into the rich history of Knighton by exploring its Victorian landmark buildings. Inspired by what they have discovered, they are now creating their own artwork based on some of Knighton’s most recognisable features.
Children in Year 2 and 3 have a new mantle of the expert commission. Julia Llewellyn Roberts from Knighton Museum has asked the children to become a team of historians. Their commission is to create an exhibition that brings to life the experiences of Knighton’s residents in Victorian times.
Congratulations to Lilyann Jones who won the Coop colouring competition for Year 2.
Well done to our Worship Council who joined Mike and Rev. Rachael to lead our Christingle service in church last week.
