Forest School Finale!
We spent our last morning together in a Forest School session with Toni and Ruth. We tried new activities, which included making Kazoos and eating doughnuts cooked on an open fire. Everyone had a lovely time, it was the perfect way to chill when everyone was feeling so many different emotions.
Rainforest in a Shoebox\fforest law mewn blwch esgidiau
We have consolidated all our learning of the rainforest by making a rainforest in a shoebox. We thought about the weather, features of the rainforest and the animals that live there.
Australia!
Year 3 and 4 had a great morning celebrating a day of ‘Australia’. We baked some lamington cakes, made boomerangs, painted didgeridoos and created some Australia artwork. They all had a fabulous time.
Mathemateg
Maths in the last week of the summer term? Absolutely! But with a twist.
Use the given digits to create a division to solve using long division. If your answer is correct and meets the criteria you can sit out of the next calculation and play Uno instead! Some of the criteria: the largest answer, and even answer, a remainder that can be simplified, an even second digit etc!
Forest School!
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their block of Forest School sessions. They have learnt lots of new skills and demonstrated great resilience, perseverance and confidence! Da iawn pawb!
Habitats!
We have been busy creating a habitat box! We chose different types of materials we wanted to use to create a range of different habitats. Bendigedig!
The Rainbow Serpent
Today we read ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ which is an Aboriginal Dreamtime story. After discussing the story, we worked in groups to complete our activities. Some children decided to develop their AI skills by using Adobe to generate a illustration of the rainbow serpent; some learners listened to some didgeridoo rhythms and then looked at some images of different didgeridoos before creating their own. We also created our own dance based on the movements that the animals in the story make.
Ein Cartref / Our Home
As part of our community-based art project, we worked with Ciara and Izzy from Old School Arts to create a mural of birds flying over Knighton. Every learner in the school was involved in the project, from painting the mural to creating their own bird. This project followed our work from Refugee Week and the theme of ‘Community as a Superpower’ and that together we are strong, creative and make things happen.
