The children have been very busy creating a party bag of festive treats which they are looking forward to showing you on Friday.
Festive crafting
Party, party party!
We had a fabulous party yesterday; so much so that we forgot to take many photographs! We danced, played games and dis a spot of crafting.
Reindeer Run
We raised a fantastic £61 for St. Michael’s Hospice. Well done to everyone! Da iawn!
Christmas Fayre crafts!
We have been very busy getting ready for our Christmas Fayre. Everyone has been working hard to start making our special crafts. One of the things we have been creating is decorated bottles.
Estimating and Measuring
We have been comparing lengths using the terms ‘shorter’ and ‘longer’. We have also estimated and measured objects using standard and non-standard units and we used JIT to create a graph showing the length in centimetres of each item.
We
We made playdough snakes and ordered them from ‘shortest’ to ‘longest’.
We measured our snakes using cubes. Then we made snakes of different lengths i.e snakes that were 4 cubes long.

Investigating
This week we are investigating which materials are electrical conductors.
BSL Workshops
We enjoyed learning a variety of Welsh songs and accompanying them with sign. Thank you Katie for a super workshop.
Young Engineers Explore Innovation at Clayton Engineering
Yesterday we stepped into the shoes of engineers and researchers during a special visit to Clayton Engineering, a leading manufacturer of specialised mechanical products.
The visit was the culmination of a classroom-based project where the children formed their own “engineering team,” investigating real-world challenges and designing imaginative solutions. The trip to Clayton Engineering offered a unique opportunity to see how professional engineers work in different industries in ‘real life’
Founded in 1973 and based in Knighton, Clayton Engineering is renowned for its expertise in corrosion protection, hydraulic systems, and specialist vehicles. The children were given a behind-the-scenes look at the factory and even witnessed a demonstration of the company’s latest launch vehicle in the car park
The visit included a presentation by engineers Adam Hardwick and Dave Andrew, who answered questions prepared by the pupils, ranging from “How do you make lifeboat launchers?” to “What materials do you use?” The children also toured the workshop, donned high-visibility vests, and learned about safety procedures in a working engineering environment. Many thanks to Clayton Engineering for their hospitality. Diolch!
Planetarium

We enjoyed a visit from the Elan Valley Trust where they brought along their planetarium for us to find out more about the Solar System.
