For the first time ever, we entered the Book Slam reading competition: it is a fun reading challenge for primary school children. One group worked on 2 books; one was to be discussed with a judge in a Teams meeting, the other needed a promotional video to be made for it. They worked hard to create their video independently using different software, and the Teams discussion went well despite feeling nervous! Da iawn!
On Wednesday all of our Year 6 pupils visited John Beddoes Campus along with other Year 6 pupils in our cluster. In teams they completed a Break-Out activity as a way to learn about the layout of the building. They spent the afternoon with a Youth Worker playing games to develop resilience. Previous pupils from Knighton Primary supported them throughout the day, which was lovely to see. Everyone had a great time and they represented our school brilliantly! Da iawn, bawb!
We had great fun completing VE Day Lego Challenge cards. We chose who we worked with and which challenge we wanted to complete. We made celebration cakes, peace gardens, spitfires, Union Jack flags and old-fashioned radios. We have shown that we have great construction skills!
We had a fabulous VE Day celebration lunch accompanied by Knighton Town Silver Band. Thank you to our wonderful kitchen staff and Knighton band members!
Today we were excited and honoured to be joined in school by ninety-nine year old War veteran Christopher Price. He answered questions asked of him by Years Two, Three and Six. Pupils learned of his experiences in the Second World War as he gave us a valuable insight as to what life was like. Diolch Christopher!
We have been developing our vocabulary about the ‘weather’ in our Welsh language sessions. We have enjoyed learning lots of new songs and following instructions playing parachute games.
Jasmine from Team Wales came into school to do some Judo with KS2. We talked about her career and the competitions she has taken part in and then we had a go at Judo ourselves. We had great fun and enjoyed learning new Judo moves.
In RVE, we created a photo gallery showing things that we found interesting and beautiful. We zoomed in on some of the items so that we can see them in more detail.
We had the pleasure of having a Judo taster session from Team Wales. The children had a great time and enjoyed learning some Judo skills.
Today we were visited by Judo Team Wales. We had a short assembly with Jasmine then some of us had a short session. Pupils learned some rolls, holds and were shown how to throw…one lucky pupil was used to demonstrate! There were smiles all round… hwyl a sbri!
