Today we started our Mantle of the Expert theme looking at Earth’s ‘elements’ by being a team of investigators exploring the layers of the Earth. We used salt dough to make models of the Earth.
Layers of Earth
Fire Safety
We were joined by Angela today from Mid West Wales Fire Brigade. Angela is a fire safety officer. She talked to us about the types of fire, fire hazards and she read us a story about a dragon called Sbarc with an important message “Don’t touch, tell!” The story was about the danger of touching lighters and matches.
Mantle of the Expert
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol and Dosbarth Jac-Y-Do have come up with lots of ideas around their Mantle of the Expert theme of Elements for this term. Here are some of their ideas…
Water Pictures
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol and Dosbarth Jac-Y-Do have enjoyed creating pieces of artwork about the element of water. They have created pictures of rivers, sea storms, and waterfalls. The paper and colours have kindly been donated by Knighton and District Rotary Club. The pictures will be entered into a competition that will be judged in March by the Rotary Club. Pob Lwc!
Literacy Enrichment Day
We went on a nature walk looking at all of the signs of Autumn. We used this as inspiration to write poems based on Alan Peate ‘ly’ sentences.
Zumba
We were so lucky to work with Tanya to develop our Zumba skills on Wednesday. Here are some of our pictures.
Well-being Day
We enjoyed a range of activities including outdoor Andy Goldsworthy artwork, circus skills, physical literacy and we looked picking the delicious apples from the tree to make apply crumble.
Bishop's Wood
Year 2 and 3 had a fantastic time at Bishop’s Wood on 13th September. We learnt Latin, marched like Roman soldiers, built a Roman fort, used gromas to build Roman Roads, listened to and created our own Roman myths and we investigated item that the Romans brought into Britain from the empire.
Habitats
In Science, we have been learning about the life processes and habitats. We decided to create our own micro habitats in our school garden.
Worship Council
Our newly elected Worship Council Representatives. Lola Tongue Chair and Otto Cadwallader Vice Chair.
