We have been busy researching rainforests; each group chose a continent to learn about. We then used this to create information texts, and to make a salt-dough map of Earth.
In Maths we have been learning to use column division!
Year 5 and 6 children have been very inventive in their games this week in the wooded area on the field and creating obstacle course on the playground. They have also enjoyed some fab football games too.
The children had a fabulous day celebrating St. Dwynwen’s Day. They listened carefully to the story and then they used their reading skills to follow instructions to make their own heart shaped biscuits. Miss Love and Mrs Wood were really impressed by how well the groups worked together to share the doing each of the instructions.
We celebrated together on Christmas Dinner day at school!
We have had lots of fun this morning celebrating Mistar Urdd’s pen-blwydd!!
Take a look on your child’s hwb account, shared files, Knighton-CIW-School, Hei Mr Urdd to see the amazing videos.
We have been busy learning the days of the week, we have enjoyed learning a song to help us remember the order of them. We have been learning and talking about concepts such as hot/ cold/ wet/dry and in/on. Forest school session today was so much fun, we looked at bird nests and what birds eat, including making bird feeders. We learnt about fire safety and had a go at making sparks using flints. We used our camp fire to cook Quesadillas for snack. 
In 1874, William Gladstone, the Prime Minister removed tax on sugar. This made sugar more affordable and led to more people having tooth decay. We investigated the effect of sugary liquids and other liquids on our teeth.
We soaked 5 eggs in vinegar, cola, water, coffee and the final egg was half soaked in coffee and toothpaste.
After 2 days, the eggs in coffee and cola stained the egg shell and stuck to the surface. This bacteria then breaks down the sugar to make acid which can damage teeth.
We found our toothpaste covered egg stained less than the non toothpaste covered egg.
The vinegar completely dissolved the eggshell, leaving just the membrane behind.
