Today we had a great day celebrating Wales through lots of fun, Welsh activities. Reception focused on ‘Sut wyt ti?’ and Year One ‘Ble wyt ti’n byw?’ We played parachute games, decorated biscuits with feelings and houses and loved the silent disco!
We decorated some biscuits showing if we were feeling hapus, drist, bendigedig or wedi blino.
Then we had lots of fun at the silent disco.
Year 5 have started forest school sessions with Miss Jones. We have enjoyed den building and creating bug hotels. We used the knives safely to sharpen sticks to use as tent pegs. We are looking forward to starting fires in our sessions soon.
Year 4 and 5 had a great couple of days at Oaker wood! We enjoyed lots of different activities like rafting, low ropes, monkey climb, zip line, puzzles, toasting marshmallows, playing games around the campfire and eating chicken nuggets and chips!
Today Year 6 had their second Forest School session of the term. They want to have sโmores at some point but we needed to develop our fire building skills first. Two groups showed great team-work, communication skills and perseverance to create flames and sustain them. It was a little windy and we now all smell smokey!
These are some of our entries for the Urdd Arts and Crafts Eisteddfod. We have photography, jewellery, models, paintings, drawings and puppets! Da iawn bawb a phob lลตc!
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.
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!
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. ARBENNIG PAWB!!
Some of our pupils have been working on Celf a Chrefft entries for the Urdd Eisteddfod. Cutting, plaiting, threading and sewing skills have all been developed.
