Years 5 and 6 took part in lots of different activities which promote a positive mental health, these included; Forest School, baking, team-building games, Lego, K’nex, art and more….! We think everyone had a great time, even if the biscuits didn’t taste quite as we had hoped!
Rydyn ni wedi bod yn dawnsio gwerin, canu caneuon gwerin a ‘pop’, chwarae genau, gwrando ar gerddoriaeth a lliwio!
We have been doing some folk dancing, singing folk and pop songs, playing games, listening to music and colouring!
Work hard, play hard!
What are the features of persuasive texts followed by some circus-skills fun on a dreary Friday afternoon!
This week we have been thinking about who the refugees are…who are the individuals going through this experience?
The pupils ‘met’ a mother, with her child, who’d had to flee her home country and arrived in the UK. They ‘heard her thoughts’. From this the pupils thought about what would need to happen if they were in a job where they met refugees who had just arrived by whatever means possible. They decided they would need to collect data about them, to be able to know; who they are, what they need now and to be able to help them going forward.
Everyone had a go at creating a form to collect this data, then as a class we looked at the most efficient way to create one.
We listened to the story of a young boy who had to leave his home.
Ydych chi’n gallu dyfalu beth oedd y geiriau pwysig? Can you guess what the important words were in the story? We had to create an image for them.
This week we thought about home; what is it? We had to consider the 5 senses when thinking about home. We then gave a word to describe home….calm, happy, relaxed, like I can do whatever I want, entertained, sleepy…!
We are working with Andrew, from Pentabus, on a project which has been part-funded by the Knighton and District Refugee Support Group.
We started by considering how all of our experiences are different.
After our training with Tim Taylor we tried a new way to move into our mantle. We studied an image then tried to imagine the thoughts of the people in it. Our pupils showed such empathy and understanding.
”We need to move up to make room for more people”
”Where are the rest of my family?”
”I’m scared”
”What if we drown?”
