We measured Brynny in November to to see if the space would be suitable for us to build our rollercoaster on. We used trundle wheels to measure the area and perimeter.
Measuring Brynny
Ffair Nadolig
Well done for all of the children for working so hard on their table centrepieces and their Christmas Eve plates. Thank you to the following members of staff/volunteers that made these production lines possible…. Sally Humphries, Kath George, Sarah Lloyd, Jade Durban, Carole Stokes, Nick Tranter, Helen Lloyd, Sue Hayward and Simon License. Finally, thank you to our fantastic parents and members of community that have purchased our goods and supported us.
Making our rollercoasters
This week we have been busy making our rollercoasters. Its was really tricky to build and make the curves and the loops, but we persevered and Knighton Town Council were really pleased with our prototypes.
Human rights
We’ve been very busy learning all about the human rights! To help us, we created a human rights rap and made some human rights mini displays.
Human Rights Day - Article 2
Article 2 – All children have these rights, no matter who they are or what they look like.
We listened to the story ‘It’s ok to be different’, and discussed why it is ok to be different. Here are some of the children’s contributions;
“We have different colour skin and that is ok.”
“You might want to speak in a different language.”
“It doesn’t matter where you live. You can live in different places and still be friends.”
“My mummy has curly hair and I don’t, and that is ok.”
“Teasing is not kind, because children will feel sad if you tease them.”
“My mummy is different to me because she has dark hair and I have light hair.”
After our discussion, we played a game of ‘switch places if you ……’ where the children swapped places with another child if they answered yes to the question/statement.
Christmas Fayre
We’ve had a fantastic time creating and selling some Christmas products at the Christmas Fayre, raising a total amount of £110.50!!

Our Hand Puppets/Ein Pypedau Llaw
We are SO proud of our hand puppets. The pupils have loved designing and making their hand puppets for Geppetto. We have used so many skills including cutting, sticking, drawing and listening. Arbennig pawb!

Our Christmas products are coming along nicely but how much should we sell them for…?
Excel was the chosen software to help us decide. The formulas are often difficult to remember, even for adults, but some remembered the work they completed with Miss Jeakings earlier in the term.
