RVE Cwestiwn Mawr

We looked at various Christmas related items such as the nativity scene, the bible, chocolate, a Christmas tree, a candle, a charity envelope, Santa, a star and a stocking. We had to answer ‘What matters most at Christmas time?’

“Jesus”

“because he was born on Christmas day”

“the bible because it has stories about Jesus”

“the star because it led the wise men to Bethlehem”

“the candle because Jesus is the ;light of the world”

“stockings because Santa needs to put presents in something”

“the Christmas tree because that’s where Santa leaves presents”

“the chocolate advent calendar because it is the countdown to Christmas”

“I think the charity envelope because the money you give will buy food for other people”

Big Questions with Mr Meredith (Diocesan Director of Education) RVE 07/11/24

We worked with Mr Meredith, looking at a piece of art work by Romola Parish, called ‘Wilderness’

We discussed how the image made us feel and then tried to answer the following questions:-

Where are you standing in relation to the picture? Are you in it, or an observer, watching what is going on?

Which do you relate to- the bird or the sheep? Can you think why you feel more like one, or less like the other?

Measuring Bryny!!

As part of our mantle, we decided to pick some possible plots to build our rollercoaster on and decided that Bryny would be the most suitable because it was flat, big and had a car park near by. We then went over to Bryny and measured the area and perimeter using trundle wheels and drones to help measure accurately.

Open the Book

We really enjoy our visits from the Open the Book team. Here is them performing ‘Adam and Eve’.

Dewis eich plot

We thought about where in Knighton would be a good place to build a rollercoaster. We looked at maps and discussed some of the features in different locations.

Some rollercoasters have to fit in between other rides at the theme park and some are build around things that can’t be moved.
