World Book Day!

We began our day reading this lovely story by Francesca Sanna. Then we played a variety of games that developed our understanding of the vocabulary in the text. We especially enjoyed playing bingo!

Pancake Day

A massive thank you to Mrs Wood and Miss Evans for making pancakes (gluten and diary free) with the children today. They were delicious!

Before we ate them we applied our learning about fractions and cut them into halves and quarters.

Instructions

This week we have been learning about instructions. We used our reading skills and knowledge of instructions to create various Valentine crafts.  Here, one group of pupils have created 3D hearts.

Internet Safety Day

Today PC Ainsworth came into class to talk to us about keeping safe online. We discussed not sharing personal details and using apps and games that are age appropriate.

How Knighton has changed!

This week Mrs Davies, Mrs Blower’s mum, has been into class to talk to us about how Knighton has changed since she was a little girl.  She showed us some old photos, including the old primary school that used to be where the Offa’s Dyke Centre is now.
