Well done to all the children who took part in the cross country at Bedstone. It was tough but they all put in 100% effort and it was a great day!
Cross Country
Cross Country!
Some of the children in Years 3,4,5&6 went to a cross country competition at Bedstone. The children showed great determination as the course was tough but came away with some great results. Da Iawn!
Life in 1940s!!!
We had a special visit from Julie and Laura from Knighton Museum. They bought a variety of artefacts from the 1940’s for the children to look at. The children had great fun, and it reminded them of what life used to be like years ago.
UK Parliament Assembly
We were visited by Claire Dare this afternoon. She came in to tell us about how parliament works and we even had a go at passing a law of our own! It was great fun and we were able to learn a lot.
Sports Council Club!
Children in Year 2 and 3 were really excited to be chosen by our Sports Council Ambassadors to be involved in their lunchtime sports club. They enjoyed a range of games aimed at improving their balance and co-ordination.
Jiving with Emily George!
We have been Learning to Jive with Emily George. We listened carefully to Glen Miller’s ‘In the Mood’ and we created our own ‘Jive’ moves to accompany it.
Evacuation Rap
In groups, we have been learning the ‘Evacuation Rap’.
I wanna tell you a story about evacuation
I found myself at Knighton station.
Dressed in my best with my coat and tag
And a few little essentials in my bag.
We arrived at the station hungry and tired
My head was buzzing I felt I was wired
We all lined up and went down the lane
And that’s when my heart began to cry in pain,
I didn’t want to go and leave my mum,
I wish that this war could soon be won
A new home and family lay ahead
And here is the day that I now dread.
Would they treat me nice
Would they be so kind
Will it be tidy
Guess I really don’t mind
