We looked at holy books and we thought of words to describe them. We also thought about questions that we would like to find out about these sacred texts. We talked about how the Bible is structured and why it is a best seller.
Sacred Texts
Belonging-Islam
Today, we learned that Muslims use special symbols to show they belong. We used flour to write ‘Allah” in Arabic. Bendigedig pawb!
Science workshop
Aderyn Du, Cnoc Y coed and Jac Y Do were lucky to have a scientist come into school to complete some science lessons, based on magnets, light and sound. She is a training scientist from Montana in the USA, who is currently studying in Boston. We had lots of fun testing if objects were magnetic and drawing shadows.
A visit from our Client
Children in Year 2 and 3 have a new mantle of the expert commission. Julia Llewellyn Roberts from Knighton Museum has asked the children to become a team of historians. Their commission is to create an exhibition that brings to life the experiences of Knighton’s residents in Victorian times.

Cottage View Visit
Year One pupils visited Cottage View at Knighton Hospital and sang Christmas songs to their residents. We sang beautifully and the residents loved our performance. Da iawn pawb!
Christmas Preparations/Paratoi ar gyfer y Nadolig
It has been a very busy few weeks in Dosbarth Eryr, rehearsing our wonderful Nativity, making items to sell at the Christmas Fayre, making Christingles in preparation for our Christingle service in the Church. Christmas jumper Day saw us raising money for the Air Ambulance. Nadolig Llawen!
Library visit
Recently Year 6 visited Knighton library. This was facilitated by Larry who is working closely with Mrs Fielding to access a grant to develop our school library. We visited to learn how libraries are run; the roles involved in it, the resources that are available and how it is all organised. Emily organised a selection of fun activities to help us learn about these; everyone had a wonderful time. Diolch.
