We enjoyed working with Peter Duncan learning some Circus Skills. We developed our problem solving, communication and creative skills whilst working independently and collaboratively.
Circus Skills
Tracey Corderoy
On Monday we were treated to a story session with author Tracey Corderoy. She read a few of her stories to us and she asked us to help her illustrate ‘Slippery Sam’.
World Book Day
Knighton Workhouse
We have been finding out about the workhouse in Knighton. We created a series of movements depicting a day in the workhouse. We have also written diary entries to accompany these dances.
Pancake Day Celebrations
We enjoyed celebrating Shrove Tuesday and making pancakes with Mrs Wood and Miss Love. We used our knowledge of fractions to share our pancakes into equal halves and quarters. We also wrote our recipes for our pancakes.
Welsh Writing
We have been using familiar sentence patterns to write details about ourselves.
Healthy Victorian Meals
We have been finding out about poor Victorian children and we created a healthy meal for them. We also calculated the cost of the meals.
Growing our Forest School!
Mrs Fielding and Miss Jones are currently studying to become Level 3 Forest Schools Practitioners with the aim of establishing our very own forest school community in our school grounds. The forest school will be located on the school field under the canopy of the beautiful oak, hazel and ash trees. The ethos of the forest schools experience is to give learners the opportunity to develop self esteem, build confidence, resilience and take risks in a practical, physical and natural outdoor environment.
If you have any experience, advice or resources that would assist in the development of our forest schools community, we would love to hear from you.

Growing our Forest School!
Mrs Fielding and Miss Jones are currently completing their level 3 Forest School Practitioners Course with the aim of setting up Forest School provision within our school setting. Our forest school will be located up on the field under the canopy of our beautiful hazel, beech and birch trees. The ethos of forest schools gives learners the opportunity to develop self-esteem, build confidence, resilience and take risks in a practical, physical, natural outdoor environment. We wish to create a community that will engage in lifelong learning and a passion for our local, natural environment.
Members of our school community have been extremely helpful in enabling us to develop the forest school site by offering resources and advice. If you have any forest schools experience or have any advice that you could offer us, we would love to hear from you.
