Who are they? Pwy ydyn nhw?

This week we have been thinking about who the refugees are…who are the individuals going through this experience?

The pupils ‘met’ a mother, with her child, who’d had to flee her home country and arrived in the UK. They ‘heard her thoughts’. From this the pupils thought about what would need to happen if they were in a job where they met refugees who had just arrived by whatever means possible. They decided they would need to collect data about them, to be able to know; who they are, what they need now and to be able to help them going forward.
Everyone had a go at creating a form to collect this data, then as a class we looked at the most efficient way to create one.

Pentabus part 3!

We listened to the story of a young boy who had to leave his home.
Ydych chi’n gallu dyfalu beth oedd y geiriau pwysig? Can you guess what the important words were in the story? We had to create an image for them.

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?”

Project Afon _ River Project

Today, the Year 5s in Barcud Coch took a very wet walk to the River Teme- near the Offa’s Dyke Centre. Sarah and Toni were delivering sessions as part of the Celebrating the Teme project.

We found all sorts of creatures, so many more than we expected to! It made us think twice about throwing stones into the river…as fun as that is!

Poetry with Dai Woolridge

Our class enjoyed working with Dai thinking about animals, having being inspired by the Creation story. He was so passionate about his work. One pupil said they’d never met a real poet before!
Pupils wrote their own pieces….here are 2 of their favourites…

Black, cute, white like the moon is bright on a ferocious night, down and far underneath the stars the beast is there a glistening state, sure the beast panda is always there when the sun is bright, the panda stirs out of the stars, his clamping jaws are on the shore. Jack

I spot a frightened frog across the bog, although they may seem weird they should not be feared, hopping along using their humbling song, happy, humbling, hopping creatures is what they are, from frogspawn, to tadpoles, to frogs, they thrive on flies on dark nights. Lola
