Our Mantle of the Expert theme this term is Rollercoasters. After completing graphs with survey results for the Knighton town council based on attractions around Knighton, rollercoasters was the favourite. The children were then sent a video by Knighton Town Council explaining that they need their help to design a rollercoaster to attract tourism in the area.
Here are some of the children’s ideas about what they would like to learn and find out about rollercoasters.
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!

Children enjoyed taking on the role of being engineers and designing and building their own shadufs.
As part of the museum’s guide book in our Mantle of the Expert, we were challenged to create simple algorithms to guide Beebots around the tomb of Tutankhamun.
We are so proud of our budding young performers and how they were able to convey all of their knowledge of the ancient Egyptian Gods, Kings and way of live to the stage in their recent production of ‘A Glint of Gold’. The play is about the dramatic discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Wow! Jody Mc Partlin from Stoneglass Mosaics has put the finishing touches to our whole-school mosaic that she has worked with the children to produce. Since Easter Jody has worked with children throughout the school to design and create the mosaic based on our school values. The project has been part funded by a grant from the Diocese. Da iawn Pawb!
Last week we welcomed Education Practitioners from Pennsylvania, USA who visited our school to find out about our Education system in Wales. They enjoyed observing some Outdoor Learning in our recently developed areas and some Forest School activities. They really enjoyed their time at our school and the children made them feel very welcome.
