In order for the lighthouse to flash the correct number of times, we needed to put the correct number of objects in each hoop. We used our counting skills and did a great job. Arbennig Pawb!

Wellbeing Week/ Wythnos lles
This week, Year 3 have been taking part in a range of activities to support and celebrate Wellbeing Week. The children have enjoyed creating their own clay hearts, carefully shaping and decorating them to represent kindness, calmness, and the things that make them feel happy.
They also made “wellbeing clouds,” each filled with positive words and phrases about themselves. This activity encouraged the children to think about their strengths, celebrate what makes them unique, and share uplifting messages with their classmates.
Safer Internet Day 2026-Exploring the safe and Responsible Use of AI
Today, E-Safety Council led an assembly for the whole school. Pupils shared information about AI and how we can use it safely. Gwych pawb!
Arch Deacon Visit
We were delighted to welcome Archdeacon Alan from the Brecon & Swansea Diocese to our school this week. During his visit, Archdeacon Alan spent time meeting members of staff and our Worship Council, and he was incredibly impressed by their enthusiasm and dedication. His encouragement and affirmation were truly uplifting for everyone involved.
Our trip to the Judge's Lodgings
At
We enjoyed our trip to The Judge’s Lodging in Presteigne. We tested and made beds for comfort, explored private apartments, and even pumped water in the Victorian kitchen. We dived into the ‘upstairs, downstairs’ lifestyle by discovering traditional games and toys scattered throughout the house. We experienced the vast, echoing courtroom and we stood in the very spot where historic trials—such as that of local duck thief William Morgan once took place.
Sacred Texts
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.
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.
