On Monday we were treated to a story session with author Tracey Corderoy. She read a few of her stories to us and she asked us to help her illustrate ‘Slippery Sam’.

World Book Day
Knighton Workhouse
We have been finding out about the workhouse in Knighton. We created a series of movements depicting a day in the workhouse. We have also written diary entries to accompany these dances.
Pancake Day Celebrations
We enjoyed celebrating Shrove Tuesday and making pancakes with Mrs Wood and Miss Love. We used our knowledge of fractions to share our pancakes into equal halves and quarters. We also wrote our recipes for our pancakes.
Welsh Writing
We have been using familiar sentence patterns to write details about ourselves.
Healthy Victorian Meals
We have been finding out about poor Victorian children and we created a healthy meal for them. We also calculated the cost of the meals.
Eisteddfod Dydd Gŵyl Dewi
Your child’s homework over this half term holiday will be to enter one (or more) of the competitions for our Dydd Dathliad Cymraeg which will be held on Friday 4th March. Our Dydd Dathliad Cymraeg is our schools day for celebrating St. David’s Day. All entries need to be uploaded onto HWB and shared with the designated teacher. Remember the more entries you compete in, the more chance you will have of winning a prize. There will be a prize for 1st, 2nd, 3rd for each category per key stage (Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2). All entries need to be in by Tuesday 1st March.
Well-being Wednesday
Sal came and worked with us and we enjoyed a Physical Literacy session playing ‘bingo’ and having to complete a variety of exercises.
All fun and games
Wealthy Victorians enjoyed playing indoor parlour games. Magnets were often used in the making of these games. We were commissioned to find out more about Victorian games that would have been played and create our own using magnets.
Victorian Yard Games
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol have been learning to play a variety of yard games that children in Victorian times would have played. We played hopscotch, tag, follow the leader, skipping skittles. We are now busy writing instructions on how to play these games.
