Today, we planned activities to make us smile and feel happy as part of Hello Yellow where we are thinking of children’s mental Health. Baking and fresh air with our friends!
Hello Yellow!/Hello Melyn!
Hello Yellow
A day to show young people they are not alone with their mental health, so we spent the day doing things that boost our well-being!
We started with our class assembly (which did give some a nervous feeling) and then parents joined us in class to sit with their child and look at what they have achieved so far this term.
Pupils then spent some time watching videos of themselves from when they were younger. After break we had a games session…UNO, Twister, Jenga, Dobble or colouring in. Quality time with friends, away from screens! Lunch was followed by paining and some games outside!
Boomwhackers
Children in year 2 have been enjoying using the boomwhackers. Boomwhackers can improve cognitive skills such as focus, concentration, and memory. Keeping track of different notes, patterns, and melodies strengthens the childrens mental agility and enhances their overall cognitive abilities. They are also really good fun and sounded great!
Kerbcraft
Here are some of the children enjoying their Kerbcraft sessions with Powys Road Safety. Many thanks to Sue Davies and Emma Darling for volunteering.
Rhif/Numbers
Our Reception pupils have been busy counting the correct number of objects outside to match their given number. Great counting everyone. Da iawn pawb!
Forest School Finale!
We spent our last morning together in a Forest School session with Toni and Ruth. We tried new activities, which included making Kazoos and eating doughnuts cooked on an open fire. Everyone had a lovely time, it was the perfect way to chill when everyone was feeling so many different emotions.
Forest School!
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their block of Forest School sessions. They have learnt lots of new skills and demonstrated great resilience, perseverance and confidence! Da iawn pawb!
The Rainbow Serpent
Today we read ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ which is an Aboriginal Dreamtime story. After discussing the story, we worked in groups to complete our activities. Some children decided to develop their AI skills by using Adobe to generate a illustration of the rainbow serpent; some learners listened to some didgeridoo rhythms and then looked at some images of different didgeridoos before creating their own. We also created our own dance based on the movements that the animals in the story make.
Powys Cricket Tournament
Today we took part in the annual Sport Powys Cricket Tournament. We had lots of fun in the sun and enjoyed all things cricket throughout the day.
Dydd Cymraeg
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!
