Aderyn Du, Cnoc Y coed and Jac Y Do were lucky to have a scientist come into school to complete some science lessons, based on magnets, light and sound. She is a training scientist from Montana in the USA, who is currently studying in Boston. We had lots of fun testing if objects were magnetic and drawing shadows.
Year 2 and 3 pupils have been diving into the rich history of Knighton by exploring its Victorian landmark buildings. Inspired by what they have discovered, they are now creating their own artwork based on some of Knighton’s most recognisable features.
Children in Year 2 and 3 have a new mantle of the expert commission. Julia Llewellyn Roberts from Knighton Museum has asked the children to become a team of historians. Their commission is to create an exhibition that brings to life the experiences of Knighton’s residents in Victorian times.
To launch our Mantle of the Expert learning, the children set off on a local walk around Knighton, looking closely at different buildings and discovering how they were used in the past. They were fascinated to learn how familiar places have changed over time and enjoyed imagining what the town might have looked like during the Victorian era.
We have had a great start to our forest school sessions, Week 1 we looked at using the Bowsaw and Axe, and this week we challenged ourselves to make a fire with very wet wood!! We succeeded….and enjoyed some delicious S’Mores!
We have begun our spark by reading the story ‘Daisy’s Dragons’ and learning about the different dragons that Daisy sees when feeling different emotions. Daisy wants us to become her ‘Expert Emotions Team.’
We began by using our collaborative skills to create a dragon. Let me introduce…. Bungalow Snowflake, Princess Tooty, Rainbow, Scary Jingles and Jolly Rainbow.
