We learnt about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. We created these snakes, as it is the ‘Year of the Snake’.
Chinese New Year!
Outdoor Learning!
We took our digital coding skills outdoors and created a maze/track for our classmates to use coding instructions and lead each other around the maze with their eyes closed! We used instructions like, ‘turn 90degrees right’ ‘take 3 small steps forward’. We looked at the importance of detailed instructions.
Well-being Day!
Year 2,3 and 4 enjoyed some outdoor learning as part of our well-being day. They created a ‘crazy golf’ course out of natural resources and had lots of fun playing together! Da iawn pawb!
Showing support to our Farmers!
Wear wellies to school day! This was to show support to our local farmers! No farmers, No food!
Tree Identification
As part of our outdoor learning, we looked at what trees we have on our school grounds!
Measuring Brynny!!
As part of our Mantle, we went over to Brynny to measure the area and perimeter of the field. We used trundle wheels!

Autumn artwork!
Here’s one I made earlier!
Our Mantle of the Expert theme this term is Rollercoasters. After completing graphs with survey results for the Knighton town council based on attractions around Knighton, rollercoasters was the favourite. The children were then sent a video by Knighton Town Council explaining that they need their help to design a rollercoaster to attract tourism in the area.
Here are some of the children’s ideas about what they would like to learn and find out about rollercoasters.
Algorithms!
As part of the museum’s guide book in our Mantle of the Expert, we were challenged to create simple algorithms to guide Beebots around the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Science/ Gwyddoniaeth
Year 2 and 3 have been looking at forces and magnets in Science. They carried out an investigation to test the amount of friction on different surfaces.
