Today it was our turn to work with Cheryl. We thought about who we are, what makes us us. Then we explored cinquain poems and the rules around them. We worked together to write a class cinquain about Refuge.
Finally we explored the idea of sanctuary…how we offer it when someone needs refuge.
Year 6 enjoyed a busy 3 days exploring Cardiff and some surrounding areas. We learned about some of the history of Wales, about our parliament and had some fun down on the bay too! Diolch to all of our hosts and to our Friends of School and The Blakemore Foundation who both made contributions towards our school trip.
Some of our Year 6 pupils gave out some origami hearts (calon) to our parents to wish them a ‘Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus’.
The daily mile for a movement break in a busy afternoon of writing!
Ydw, dw i’n hoffi Milky Bar. Dydw i ddim yn hoffi Snickers.
Today Judith volunteered her time to help some of our pupils who will be helping to celebrate St David’s day in the community on Sunday 2nd March. They learned a song and began a Twmpath to the tune of ‘Mi welais Jac y do’. They were fantastic, da iawn bawb!
We have been listening to the story of Santes Dwynwen. We made some origami hearts to spread the love. We watched the video on mute and had the instructions in Welsh…!
Plygwch- fold
Trowch- turn
Canol- centre
Triongl- triangle

Today we took part in the Cwis Dim Clem. We were the third of 27 schools to take part. We will have to wait to find out if we have got through to the next round.
We had 2 winning teams. If our score of 30/40 is high enough, 4 out 5 of them will represent Knighton in the next round!
We have been enjoying reading this book so far this term. We have completed some descriptive writing around the characters and creating emotions within scenes. We have created freeze-frames of the moment Charlie found the Golden Ticket. We have also tried to create some portraits in the style of Quentin Blake…here are some of our first attempts at painting them.
This afternoon we had some Christmas fun playing Charades and pictionary. We didn’t get a photo of musical statues or everyone enjoying a Popdot (mini doughnut cake) kindly donated by Co-op…! The children finished the day off by playing games, colouring and building models.
