Community as a Superpower!

This year, the ‘Power of Community’ was the refugee Week theme. Together we are very strong, creative and make things happen.

We assembled in marquee on the field and we spilt into four mixed aged groups. Each group was responsible for making each bird; the tern, the swift, the whooper swan and the red kite.

Each child had their very own hand-held bird which they decorated. 

We also created our own nest by weaving ripstop ribbons around willow.

In the afternoon, we took our individual birds on a journey ‘around the world’ through the obstacle course depicting the ice, sea, wind and even a volcano!  We thought carefully about all of the things that we noticed about our journey.

At the end of the day, we gently carried our large birds to meet each other and ‘perch’ on the Kite’s nest.  This represented the Kite offering Sanctuary to the migrants for as long as they need it.

We were very grateful to Larry and Ciara and their team of willing volunteers that enabled us to be strong, creative and to make wonderful things happen!

This is your life!

Children in Years 2, 3, and 4 were absolutely fantastic in their recent performance of ‘This is your Life’. The performance was about the life and works or author Dr Seuss. As part of their mantle of the expert commission for this term, they had the task of writing and performing three plays based on stories written by Dr Seuss. Year 2 wrote their version of ‘The Cat in the Hat’, year 3 wrote their play about ‘The Lorax’ and year 3 pupils created their version of ‘Horton Hears a Who’. Da iawn Pawb!

Well-being

We enjoyed a fabulous end to a very busy half term. We made chocolate rice crispy cakes and we completed a range of circus activities and games. Our sunflowers have now been sent home and we can’t wait to see how tall they grow!

Garddio

In RVE, we have been talking about caring for our world and we have been busy planting sunflower seeds that we will work hard to take care of.

Should we care for everyone?

We believe that each person is valuable and unique. We drew an outline of a person are we thought of words that make people valuable and unique.

We listened to the song ‘You are a star’ and we discussed that music can sometimes cheer us up, especially if it shows that people care for us.

We created an extra verse to the song.

You’re too ugly, too trashy, too boring, too silly,

Everybody’s saying, everybody’s saying.

You’re too mean, too stupid, too fat, too rude.

Everybody’s saying, everybody’s saying.

But who do you listen to

Cause after all I’m telling you.

You’re star just the way you are.

Maesi “I always try to talk to people so that I understand why they are upset”

Josie “I will always help and listen”

Matty “If someone is angry they could play rock music”

Bluebell “if friends are arguing they need to solve their problems”

Corey “I will always take care of my friends if they are hurt”

Y Tywydd Parachute Games

We have been developing our vocabulary about the ‘weather’ in our Welsh language sessions. We have enjoyed learning lots of new songs and following instructions playing parachute games.

Our AMAZING World!

In RVE, we created a photo gallery showing things that we found interesting and beautiful. We zoomed in on some of the items so that we can see them in more detail.

Council Meeting

  • We were joined by John Meredith in today’s Worship Council Meetinbg to discuss Expressive Art in RVE. Some of the ideas discussed were about how we could bring more Expressive Arts into RVE.  Mr Meredith showed us some of his artwork and we thought we could adopt something similar by producing collages depicting each of our values. We also discussed:
  • Prayer species in our school / Worship Displays
  • Mirrors in the class room
  • Target display boards asking ‘how are we special’
  • Word Art for each value
  • Our creation artwork based on Dai Woolridge Spoken Word.
  • Making a labyrinth
  • Easter Assembly – rehearsals next week in JF’s room
