We were very lucky to be able to see the animal man in school. All of the children were very brave, much braver than the adults! 
Animal man visits Dosbarth Gwennol
We were thrilled to welcome the Animal Man back to Knighton. The children were very brave and had a fantastic time!
Animal Man!
We had an AMAZING afternoon with the Animal Man! We loved the different animals and reptiles and were very brave by holding them. Mrs Evans, Mrs Humphries and Miss Sarah were also very brave and faced their fears too.
The Animal Man!
Today we loved the visit from the Animal Man. We were so brave and enjoyed touching, stroking and holding lots of exciting animals that some of us had never seen before.
Our Eco Tree!
Mr and Mrs Watts have been busy preparing a tree to be displayed at St. Edward’s Church during the festive period.
Each class in school have created two baubles to decorate the tree. The baubles are linked to our School’s Core Christian Values and they are made using recyclable materials.
Science enrichment day!
Science Enrichment Day!
We have been using our investigative and experimental skills to carry out a range of activities. We have had lots of fun!
We have made:
- electrical circuits to make the light bulb light,
- soap bubble prints using paint, washing-up liquid and water,
- erupting volcanoes, using vinegar, washing-up liquid, food colouring and bicarbonate of soda,
- boats out of tin foil and testing to see if they would float or sink,
- growing rainbows with kitchen roll, felt-tip pens, water, paperclips and thread.
Well-being day!
We took part in a music session with Jim, did some gardening and played games with the parachute.
Well-being Day
What a lovely day we all had yesterday! We started the day by talking about our emotions and how these made us feel. We visualised these and gave them colours and shapes and thought about where we feel them in our bodies.
We then tried out different ways to deal with and calm ourselves down when we feel like we are losing control. The strategies we tried were: mindful colouring, listening to calming music, brain distracting games, different yoga styles and then thought about how playing a musical instrument can help us. We had a fantastic session with Jim, who taught us all about different guitars. We managed to play ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ and ‘Crazy Shark’ using Boomwhack instruments which was a lot of fun! Have a look at the photos of our day.
Well-being Day
Children enjoyed a range of activities for our whole school well-being day. The day was described as ‘the best day ever!’
