Today we learned about Remembrance Day. We enjoyed potato printing poppies.
Remembrance Day Poppies
Poppy artwork!
Children engaged in a creative project to commemorate Remembrance Day by producing beautiful poppy-themed artwork. Using a variety of materials and techniques they produces some beautiful pieces of work. Da iawn!
Digital Cluster Project
Today some of our Year 6 pupils have been busy working with their peers in the cluster. Each school has had a piece of digital equipment to use for the term; the pupils have had to plan and create a task to deliver to their peers from other schools in order to train each other. This time we had the Rugged Robots.
It was fun to use the different pieces of equipment (Sphero, drones, LEGO Spike, Cody Rockies etc) and to work with other pupils. It was especially lovely to see and work with some of our former pupils!
and a big thank you to our parent volunteers for transporting us to the event. Diolch.
Investigating
This week we are investigating which materials are electrical conductors.
BSL Workshops
We enjoyed learning a variety of Welsh songs and accompanying them with sign. Thank you Katie for a super workshop.
Young Engineers Explore Innovation at Clayton Engineering
Yesterday we stepped into the shoes of engineers and researchers during a special visit to Clayton Engineering, a leading manufacturer of specialised mechanical products.
The visit was the culmination of a classroom-based project where the children formed their own “engineering team,” investigating real-world challenges and designing imaginative solutions. The trip to Clayton Engineering offered a unique opportunity to see how professional engineers work in different industries in ‘real life’
Founded in 1973 and based in Knighton, Clayton Engineering is renowned for its expertise in corrosion protection, hydraulic systems, and specialist vehicles. The children were given a behind-the-scenes look at the factory and even witnessed a demonstration of the company’s latest launch vehicle in the car park
The visit included a presentation by engineers Adam Hardwick and Dave Andrew, who answered questions prepared by the pupils, ranging from “How do you make lifeboat launchers?” to “What materials do you use?” The children also toured the workshop, donned high-visibility vests, and learned about safety procedures in a working engineering environment. Many thanks to Clayton Engineering for their hospitality. Diolch!
Planetarium
p
We enjoyed a visit from the Elan Valley Trust where they brought along their planetarium for us to find out more about the Solar System.
Hand washing
Today we learnt all about how important it is to wash our hands and how to do it properly.
Hello Yellow!
As part of Hello Yellow Day, we looked at different emotions and positive words to describe ourselves. We decorated biscuits with faces, and created some beautiful pieces of artwork. Da iawn pawb!
Investigating!
Following our work on investigating circuits, we had a look at what materials were conductors and insulators of electricity. We thoroughly enjoyed this!
Gwaith Gwych! 🙂
