We have been reading and discussing the Hindu story of Creation. We composed music to depict the story and we created our own dance to represent the key parts of the story.
We also created a collage of Vishnu and Brahma.
The Hindu Story of Creation
Dosbarth Gwennol Home Learning - Friday 7th January 2022
Happy New Year! Welcome back to the start of a new term and new year, as Friday 7th January is a confirmed home schooling day, here are a few activities that I would like your child to complete and email pictures of their work to me.
Activity 1 – Maths – Time – Can you recite all of the months of the year? Check with an adult to see that you have included them all.
Write a list of each of the months of the year and key events that occur in those months to help you to remember them. For example…
January – 10th Jane’s birthday
February – 1st Chinese New Year
14th St Valentines Day
18th Comic Relief
and so on…..
Activity 2 Literacy – Writing – To write a report detailing what you had for Christmas. You can write about your favourite present in detail or a paragraph describing each present. Suggested things to include in your report – a description of your present (s), what does it look, feel, smell, sound or taste like, who gave it to you and why it is so special. You may also wish to draw a picture of your present.
Activity 3 – New Year Resolutions – At the start of the new year people like to make ‘resolutions’ or goals that they would like to set for themselves. Think of five goals that you would like to achieve in 2022. Write them in a list and explain how you are going to try and achieve them. For example…
Goal 1 – Become a better reader – I am going to go on Nessy for 10 minutes each day.

Animal man visits Dosbarth Gwennol
We were thrilled to welcome the Animal Man back to Knighton. The children were very brave and had a fantastic time!
Our Eco Tree!
Mr and Mrs Watts have been busy preparing a tree to be displayed at St. Edward’s Church during the festive period.
Each class in school have created two baubles to decorate the tree. The baubles are linked to our School’s Core Christian Values and they are made using recyclable materials.
Well-being Day
Children enjoyed a range of activities for our whole school well-being day. The day was described as ‘the best day ever!’
Music Workshop
Last week we attended a music workshop with Jim Elliott where we had the opportunity to listen to him play a variety of musical instruments. Jim taught let us use some of the instruments and we learnt a piece of music which we enjoyed performing to Mrs Fielding and Mrs Wood.
PC Ainsworth
The children had a special visit from PC Ainsworth. They discussed the importance of staying safe online
Folk Dancing
Children have loved practising their dance skills and learning some Welsh folk dancing!
Remembrance
I am so proud of all the children this week with their mature approach to learning about Remembrance. They listened carefully and thought of sensible discussion points. We discussed the significance of the poppy and looked at ‘Poppy Fields’ Vincent Van Gogh and the children created their own versions.
