Victorian Shops

We have enjoyed finding out about the shops that were in Knighton in Victorian times.  We used some of the pictures from Mary Cadwallader’s book showing what Victorian Knighton was like. We created a graphs on HWB showing our favourite Victorian shops and posters to advertise them.  Here are some of our posters.

The Hindu Story of Creation

We have been reading and discussing the Hindu story of Creation.  We composed music to depict the story and we created our own dance to represent the key parts of the story.

We also created a collage of Vishnu and Brahma.

Dosbarth Gwennol Home Learning - Friday 7th January 2022

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the start of a new term and new year, as Friday 7th January is a confirmed home schooling day, here are a few activities that I would like your child to complete and email pictures of their work to me.

Activity 1 – Maths – Time – Can you recite all of the months of the year? Check with an adult to see that you have included them all.

Write a list of each of the months of the year and key events that occur in those months to help you to remember them.  For example…

January – 10th Jane’s birthday

February – 1st Chinese New Year

14th St Valentines Day

18th Comic Relief

and so on…..

Activity 2 Literacy – Writing – To write a report detailing what you had for Christmas.  You can write about your favourite present in detail or a paragraph describing each present.  Suggested things to include in your report – a description of your present (s), what does it look, feel, smell, sound or taste like, who gave it to you and why it is so special.  You may also wish to draw a picture of your present.

Activity 3 – New Year Resolutions – At the start of the new year people like to make ‘resolutions’ or goals that they would like to set for themselves.  Think of five goals that you would like to achieve in 2022.  Write them in a list and explain how you are going to try and achieve them.  For example…

Goal 1 – Become a better reader – I am going to go on Nessy for 10 minutes each day.

My email address is MorrisJ313@hwbcymru.net

Diolch,

Mrs Fielding
