Pumpkin carving
We enjoyed carving pumpkins for our special well-being activity today. Next year, we are going to try and grow our own from the seeds.
Literacy Enrichment
For literacy enrichment day, we looked at ly and simile sentences then used these to write some poetry about autumn. In the afternoon, we then created artwork to accompany our poems. We really enjoyed our day.
Five Ways to Well-being
Gail from In Reach CAMHS came in to see us to talk about well-being. We learnt that the 5 ways to well-being are: Keep learning, connect, take notice, give and be active. We then created posters to share ideas of how we might do this.
How can we help? Sut ydyn ni’n gallu helpu?
The pupils agreed they would like to help refugees to feel welcome, loved and supported and that something as simple as a smile would help to do that.
’If I could do anything to help I would …’
Suggestions included: making donations of food, toys, money and shelter, offering a place to stay, providing support to locate missing friends and family, work to promote peace and end war.
Literacy Enrichment Day
We went on a nature walk looking at all of the signs of Autumn. We used this as inspiration to write poems based on Alan Peate ‘ly’ sentences.
Zumba
We were so lucky to work with Tanya to develop our Zumba skills on Wednesday. Here are some of our pictures.
Well-being Day!
In the morning, we discussed what makes a good day and a bad day and how to change things when they are going wrong. We then had great fun in the sun playing with the circus skills equipment in the morning. After lunch, when we weren’t swimming, we played yard games, including ‘Mr. Martian’, Duck, Duck Goose and Wink Murder. What a lovely active day we had.
