Following our story ‘Saving the Butterfly’ by Helen Cooper, we discussed what it would be like to be sent away from our homes and families. We decorated our bags and drew a picture of something special we would take with us, which we put inside.
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!
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.
Today, we learned that Muslims use special symbols to show they belong. We used flour to write ‘Allah” in Arabic. Bendigedig pawb!
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.
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!
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!
We are looking forward to our Children in Need challenges this afternoon.
We were lucky enough to receive a visit from Elan Valley Trust. We learnt about the Elan Valley International Dark Sky Park and the Problem with Light Pollution, and A solar system tour. Children thoroughly enjoyed and learnt lots!
Today, we had a planetarium visit from ‘Dark Skies’ at Elan Valley. We sat inside and were able to see the stars and planets. It was very exciting!
