Today we were excited and honoured to be joined in school by ninety-nine year old War veteran Christopher Price. He answered questions asked of him by Years Two, Three and Six. Pupils learned of his experiences in the Second World War as he gave us a valuable insight as to what life was like. Diolch Christopher!
We have been developing our vocabulary about the ‘weather’ in our Welsh language sessions. We have enjoyed learning lots of new songs and following instructions playing parachute games.
Jasmine from Team Wales came into school to do some Judo with KS2. We talked about her career and the competitions she has taken part in and then we had a go at Judo ourselves. We had great fun and enjoyed learning new Judo moves.
We had the pleasure of having a Judo taster session from Team Wales. The children had a great time and enjoyed learning some Judo skills.
Today we were visited by Judo Team Wales. We had a short assembly with Jasmine then some of us had a short session. Pupils learned some rolls, holds and were shown how to throw…one lucky pupil was used to demonstrate! There were smiles all round… hwyl a sbri!
We have been back outside completing some Forest School sessions. This time it was about following the lead of the learners and seeing what they remembered from last time. Everyone remembered the Forest School rules, and the rules around using tools (a knife this time) were also remembered and demonstrated. Den building was a big hit, they used the pegs created by the knives to hold down the tarpaulin and looked at how to tie some different knots.
In our Jigsaw sessions, we thought about foods that we needed to stay fit and healthy and we created our own fruit kebabs!
A lovely afternoon in the sunshine exploring our natural world and talking about the interesting things that we found.
What a lovely way to end the term! Year Five buddied up with dosbarth Eryr to read stories in the sunshine. Thank you Year Five!
A massive well done to everyone that took part in the annual Powys Cross-Country. A very challenging course made even harder in the heat, with everyone competing showing great perseverance and support throughout the day. Da iawn pawb!
