Rob, a road safety officer from Powys, visited us today. He talked about how to be safe on the road, covering aspects such as seat belts, booster seats, cycling, helmets etc. The class were great, asking thoughtful questions and evaluating choices they have made themselves.
Barcud Coch were transfixed on Mr Phormula and his beat-boxing skills. He showed us how to make different sounds with our mouths and bodies. He then demonstrated how he uses being bilingual to help him be different from other performers. We then worked together to write our own verse for a school rap, using English and Welsh. Roedd e’n hwyl!
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!
Aderyn Du decorated biscuits into melting snowman.
Year 6 enjoyed hosting a stall at the Fayre on Friday. They have worked hard to not only create products to sell but also to complete costing activities using Microsoft Excel and formulas to keep track of the finances.
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.
The children have been busy making some beautiful table arrangements to sell at our Christmas Fayre. Great creative work!
We have been very busy getting ready for our Christmas Fayre. Everyone has been working hard to start making our special crafts. One of the things we have been creating is decorated bottles.
We have been comparing lengths using the terms ‘shorter’ and ‘longer’. We have also estimated and measured objects using standard and non-standard units and we used JIT to create a graph showing the length in centimetres of each item.
We
We made playdough snakes and ordered them from ‘shortest’ to ‘longest’.
We measured our snakes using cubes. Then we made snakes of different lengths i.e snakes that were 4 cubes long.
