Many thanks to Katie for working with us to teach us ‘Jacob’s Memory Garden’ song.
Jacob's Memory Garden
Joseph Coelho
On 12th September year 2 children were privileged to meet Poet Laureate Joseph Coelho. They listened carefully to his poetry, joined in with his performance poetry and created their own poetry.
Our Meadow/Ein Gweirglodd
We have created a meadow as a class. We drew minibeasts that would live in the meadow and thought about the different habitats within the meadow. We are a team of conservationists, that have been asked to find out about and take care of the minibeasts in the meadow.
Visit from PC Viv
Pc Viv came in to talk to us about keeping safe and good friendships. This was very interesting and we learnt a lot.
Pentabus; part 2!
This week we thought about home; what is it? We had to consider the 5 senses when thinking about home. We then gave a word to describe home….calm, happy, relaxed, like I can do whatever I want, entertained, sleepy…!
Pentabus project
We are working with Andrew, from Pentabus, on a project which has been part-funded by the Knighton and District Refugee Support Group.
We started by considering how all of our experiences are different.
Study an image
After our training with Tim Taylor we tried a new way to move into our mantle. We studied an image then tried to imagine the thoughts of the people in it. Our pupils showed such empathy and understanding.
”We need to move up to make room for more people”
”Where are the rest of my family?”
”I’m scared”
”What if we drown?”
We had a wonderful start to the term. We have been talking about our emotions and reading The Colour Monster.
Mini beast Hunt\ Helfa Bwystfilod Bach
We have been on a minibeast hunt on the school grounds. We used our observation skills and found insects and spiders living in the grass and around our trees.
Rainbow Fish\Pysgoden Enfys
In RE we listened to the story of ‘The Rainbow Fish.’ We talked about how we could be peace makers, through sharing and our kindness.
