In Pyjama Drama we listened to the story of ‘The Cat in the Hat’ and then we acted parts of the story. After the session we enjoyed some parachute games.

A place of Sanctuary
During Assembly on Monday we celebrated being appraised as a School of Sanctuary. Members of the appraisal team commented “It was such a pleasure to spend time with your pupils and hear about their learning. They are an absolute credit to you and clearly demonstrate what a warm and welcoming place Knighton School is”. They also added “Pupil voice in school is clearly very well embedded through your variety of councils and they feel empowered to make changes.” We are all very proud.
Animation with Jim Elliot
We had a fantastic day with Jim making ‘Stop Motion Amination.’ Firstly, we used our names and we used a special machine to cut out the letters of our name. Secondly, we the story of The Gruffalo to make an exciting animation.
Forest School
We have had a fabulous Forest School session today focusing on team building. Da iawn Pawb!
Circus Skills
We love our Circus Skills sessions with Peter Duncan. Learning circus skills provides a wide range of benefits to the participant – increased attention span and focus, personal and social growth, mental and emotional health – all the while within a non-competitive and fun atmosphere.
Story Telling with Sharon
We have been working with Sharon to create a story about the ‘Goodlands’ and ‘Badlands’. We have started by looking at the structure of a story and then in groups we created our own settings for our stories. We also acted out what it would be like to live in our ‘Goodlands’.
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.
St David’s Day celebration practise
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!
Animation With Jim
We had a great time with Jim today, learning to use the ‘Stop Motion’ App to create our animations, firstly of our names and then with ‘Tiddler’ characters.
