Today we had a great day celebrating Wales through lots of fun, Welsh activities. Reception focused on ‘Sut wyt ti?’ and Year One ‘Ble wyt ti’n byw?’ We played parachute games, decorated biscuits with feelings and houses and loved the silent disco!
Reception pupils had the task of packing Bethan’s (welsh explorer) suitcase for her trip to the rainforest. Pupils decided what to put in the case and take out of the case, using their knowledge of what the rainforest is like and the weather there.

We played ‘Musical Friendships’ as part of our work on being a good friend. When the music stopped we had to find a friend and do something kind. We had lots of hugs, fist bumps and high fives! It made us all feel really happy!
This afternoon, Reception and Year One enjoyed a local woodland walk. We discussed the features of the wood, how it felt and what we could hear. We compared it to the rainforest.
We had great fun completing VE Day Lego Challenge cards. We chose who we worked with and which challenge we wanted to complete. We made celebration cakes, peace gardens, spitfires, Union Jack flags and old-fashioned radios. We have shown that we have great construction skills!
We had a fabulous VE Day celebration lunch accompanied by Knighton Town Silver Band. Thank you to our wonderful kitchen staff and Knighton band members!
Today we were excited and honoured to be joined in school by ninety-nine year old War veteran Christopher Price. He answered questions asked of him by Years Two, Three and Six. Pupils learned of his experiences in the Second World War as he gave us a valuable insight as to what life was like. Diolch Christopher!
A lovely afternoon in the sunshine exploring our natural world and talking about the interesting things that we found.
What a lovely way to end the term! Year Five buddied up with dosbarth Eryr to read stories in the sunshine. Thank you Year Five!
Today Year One discussed physical contact and we created our own special ways to greet our friends. We both had to feel comfortable with the contact. There were lots of high fives and fist bumps!
