Our Mantle this term is all about skyscrapers. We have done lots of research about skyscrapers and different skylines around the world. In our DCF lessons we have been looking at creating databases on J2Data. We used the information that we have researched about the tallest buildings in the world, to create different records.
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!
This week we held our first Healthy Schools council meeting of the year. We discussed the healthy eating poster competition that was held last year and whether we thought this was effective. We also talked about if there was anything else the pupils wanted to do to promote healthy eating in school. We are going to encourage our friends to have two pieces of fruit or veg for lunch every day.
On Saturday 14th September we hosted an Away Day. The day involved 43 refugees from all over the world currently residing in Knighton visiting our School where they were greeted with refreshments and a hot meal. Volunteers from KDRSG provided delicious cakes and they arranged a range of activities including origami, pottery and jewellery making. There was guided tours around Knighton and live music. It was a fabulous day!
Following the Creation story, we painted our favourite thing that God created. Amazing paintings!
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.

We held our first meeting of the year today and discussed what we wanted to improve about our school, how we could raise money for resources that we would like and which charity we wanted to support. We chose the RNLI because a local company (Clayton Engineering), where some of our parents work, make the lifeboats that are then sent out and used all over the UK by the RNLI volunteers to rescue people.
We also voted for our new Chair and Vice Chair of School Council:-
Annie, supported by George, will take the position of Chair
Honey, supported by Frankie, will take the position of Vice Chair
Well done everyone for a very productive meeting! Our first event will be next Friday 27th September when we will be hosting a cake sale at break time to raise money for the RNLI!
This morning we held our first E-Safety council meeting of the year. We checked that classes had signed and displayed their Acceptable Use Agreements and we discussed apps that children use. We had a quiz on the age restrictions of apps that children use outside of school.
