We have had an amazing day celebrating Wales. During the morning, we completed lot’s of lovely fun activities and our prelims for the Eisteddfod. This afternoon we all came together to compete within our classes. The children bravely showcased their talents and we all had a fun-filled afternoon.
Sports council have been busy encouraging pupils to get active and it’s certainly paid off!
Lots of Ks2 children have participated in the cluster cross country events that have been held so far this term (see more photos on our ‘Sports’ page in ‘Extra-curricular’). The children really are working hard on their fitness!
Year 3 children participated in a cluster ‘ball skills’ session over at Presteigne on Tuesday 4th February and had a fantastic time!
Year 1 and 2 have just begun some cricket ‘taster’ sessions in school and are thoroughly enjoying learning some new skills!
We are hoping to organise some tennis/hockey skills sessions for Year 4 children later on in the term.
In our next Sports Council meeting we will be analysing the results from the questionnaire that we prepared and gave out to children in Ks2 about sport/fitness in and out of school.
We completed activities for ‘Safer Internet Day’ and P.C. Ainsworth came into school to talk to us about how to stay safe online.
We drew and described our ‘online identity’.
On Thursday 23rd January 2020, Miss Davies and four very enthusiastic Criw Cymraeg members attended a very exciting day in Builth Wells.
The day gave us a range of ideas and activities to implement within our school to help us to fulfil the requirements for the language Charter. We carried out the following workshops; ‘Mewn Cymeriad’ a show to explain the Welsh Culture and Language, ‘Mr Phormula’ a Welsh Beatboxer, a Welsh Yoga session and a Welsh music session.
This is what the children thought about the day;
‘It was the best day ever!’
‘I can’t believe Mr Phormula makes all of that music by just using his voice.’
‘We had so much fun and used lots of Welsh.’
‘The activities were amazing, I loved the Yoga.’
In our meeting today we started to organise our assembly for Safer Internet Day which will be on the 27th January 2020. It will begin at 9:10 and all are welcome!
