Year 2 and 3 had a fantastic time at Bishop’s Wood on 13th September. We learnt Latin, marched like Roman soldiers, built a Roman fort, used gromas to build Roman Roads, listened to and created our own Roman myths and we investigated item that the Romans brought into Britain from the empire.
We travelled to Stourport on Seven to explore a day in the life as a roman! We performed in the amphitheatre, we made roman roads, built our own shelters and found out lots more! We all enjoyed ourselves very much and can’t wait to continue our Mantle topic work on Romans.
On 12th September year 2 children were privileged to meet Poet Laureate Joseph Coelho. They listened carefully to his poetry, joined in with his performance poetry and created their own poetry.
We work together to overcome challenges.
The children loved exploring poetry and rhyme with Dai!
We are learning how to describe our families in Welsh. This week, Year One, have used their reading skills to create sentences to state how many brothers and sisters they have.
We have thoroughly enjoyed planting seeds with Tom. We learnt about how we can look after them to make sure they grow.
We were visited by Tim Taylor who delivers training for Mantle of the Expert, which is the pedagogical approach we use to deliver our curriculum. The staff enjoyed our session as much as the pupils.
Tim stepped into the role of someone who works in the local Welsh government, proposing to build a plot of 500 houses on the outskirts of Knighton. Pupils took on the role of an environmental protection team and they used their learning from this term to put forward their opinions and asked challenging questions.
Tim was really impressed with their contributions, concerns were raised appropriately and they were well-considered.
Children have enjoyed building and fire lighting.
