Children in Year 2 and 3 were really excited to be chosen by our Sports Council Ambassadors to be involved in their lunchtime sports club. They enjoyed a range of games aimed at improving their balance and co-ordination.
Money/Arian
This Week Year One have been working in maths on their coin recognition and using this learning to pay for items.
Hula hoop story telling with Peter
We have had a fantastic afternoon with Peter story telling. We pretended that we went to Alaska, the North Pole, a desert, a volcano and space and thought about what we might pack in our bag. We thought about how we could use a prop such as rope, boots, a hat, tape, binoculars etc. to solve a problem that we might face on the way.
Jiving with Emily George!
We have been Learning to Jive with Emily George. We listened carefully to Glen Miller’s ‘In the Mood’ and we created our own ‘Jive’ moves to accompany it.
Evacuation Rap
In groups, we have been learning the ‘Evacuation Rap’.
I wanna tell you a story about evacuation
I found myself at Knighton station.
Dressed in my best with my coat and tag
And a few little essentials in my bag.
We arrived at the station hungry and tired
My head was buzzing I felt I was wired
We all lined up and went down the lane
And that’s when my heart began to cry in pain,
I didn’t want to go and leave my mum,
I wish that this war could soon be won
A new home and family lay ahead
And here is the day that I now dread.
Would they treat me nice
Would they be so kind
Will it be tidy
Guess I really don’t mind
Story telling with Peter
We had a great time with Peter on Thursday learning all about story telling! We created our own stories based off ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘Loopy Luna and the Hula Hoop’.
Story making with Peter/Gwneud Stori gyda Peter
We had a great time with Peter. We worked with him to create our own journey stories based on ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘Loopy Luna and the Hula Hoop.’
Making up stories!
Today we were visited by Peter Duncan who worked with the children to create a shared story. When the children arrived back into the classroom after break they were greeted by a tunnel and a letter. They investigated the area and read the letter. The letter contained identity tags and a letter. The children concluded that the letter and the identity tags must have been from an evacuee. So they decided to go through the tunnel and step back in time to 1939. They were all transported back to Knighton Train Station when a train of evacuees were arriving from Liverpool. They were met by Mr Thompson who was a busy man trying to arrange host families for the evacuees to stay with. Luckily, the children had time to interview Mr Thompson before they returned back to 2023….just in time for lunch!
Jigsaw with Mrs Rimmer
The children had the pleasure of Mrs Rimmer leading their PSHE Jigsaw session on Wednesday. The aim of the session was to show pupils that working with others helps us to learn. So, Mrs Rimmer set them a variety of challenges to work on in a group or with their partner. Some of the challenges included learning the Macarena dance, counting in 2’s in French, learning ‘the owl and the pussycat’ and counting to ten in Mandarin. I was really proud of how the children rose to the challenges and achieved their goals together.
