Aderyn Du, Cnoc Y coed and Jac Y Do were lucky to have a scientist come into school to complete some science lessons, based on magnets, light and sound. She is a training scientist from Montana in the USA, who is currently studying in Boston. We had lots of fun testing if objects were magnetic and drawing shadows.
We raised a fantastic £61 for St. Michael’s Hospice. Well done to everyone! Da iawn!
Today we learnt all about how important it is to wash our hands and how to do it properly.
We’ve enjoyed creating some Autumn art using some natural materials from outside!
As part of our Mantle, we have been tasked with answering the question ‘How does a lightbulb work?’ We investigated this by looking at electrical circuits and explored different components that could be used.
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.
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.
Children in Years 2, 3, and 4 were absolutely fantastic in their recent performance of ‘This is your Life’. The performance was about the life and works or author Dr Seuss. As part of their mantle of the expert commission for this term, they had the task of writing and performing three plays based on stories written by Dr Seuss. Year 2 wrote their version of ‘The Cat in the Hat’, year 3 wrote their play about ‘The Lorax’ and year 3 pupils created their version of ‘Horton Hears a Who’. Da iawn Pawb!
