Fun in the snow!
Music
We are really enjoying our expressive arts sessions with Mrs Phillips. We are currently learning three songs in relation to our theme of journeys.
Research, research and more research....
After meeting Daisy at the train station we went back to class and used historical sources such as newspapers, books, photographs and letters to help us work in our mantle groups to complete our mind maps about what we want to find out this term about evacuees in World War Two.
World Religion Day
Following our whole school assembly celebration of World Religion Day, Year 2 children enjoyed focusing on the Hindu Creation story. They discussed the story, the characters and the similarities and differences between the Hindu creation story and the Christian creation story. Some of the children created dances to depict the story, some composed music o accompany the story and others created a collage of Vishnu and Brahma.
Evacuees arrive in Knighton!
Children in Jac-Y-Do and Gwennol met Daisy at the train station in Knighton. Daisy was an evacuee and she had just arrived in Knighton from Liverpool. She had been sent to Knighton during World War 2 to keep her safe from the German bombing in Liverpool.
The children will be studying the theme of the journeys made by evacuees to Knighton during World War 2 through the Mantle of the Expert approach to the new curriculum.
Miss Rees and Mrs Fielding would be very interested in hearing from you if you have any information regarding evacuees during World War 2. Their email addresses are:

Christmas Fayre/Ffair Nadolig
What a wonderful Christmas Fayre! Well done to all our wonderful pupils for creating such beautiful items to sell and thank you to to everyone that supported the sale. Merry Christmas!
Kerbcraft
Over the last 6 weeks children have been involved in the Powys County Council Kerbcraft scheme that teaches children road safety skills. Thank you to all of our volunteers that helped to support the scheme to help to keep our children safe.
Fix Up! Dress Up!
Captain Green had commissioned the children to organise a party on the last day of term to celebrate how hard they have worked on helping him to save the planet. They produced invitations, thought of party activities and created their own costumes using the principles of the three R’s.
Circus Skills
We loved welcoming Peter and Sharon back to our school to work with children on their physical literacy. The children improved their hand-eye co-ordination, concentration, throwing and catching skills and ambidexterity whilst developing their confidence, self-esteem and perseverance skills.
Diwali
The children have also been finding out about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light. They enjoyed using their reading skills to read and follow instructions to make Diwali decorations. Ethical Informed Citizens
