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.
This week the children experienced life in a Victorian classroom when they were greeted for lessons by a very strict Miss Green! They found out about the 3R’s, the drill, the ‘dunce’s cap’ and the cane!
They also looked at old photographs of Knighton School in Victorian times and recorded all of the facts that they could recall on a mind map. They will use their mind map next week to write a report on Victorian schools.
We really enjoyed Physical Literacy with Mr Rose and Miss Roberts on Monday. Some of the games we played were toilet tag and cat and mouse.
Thursday we were lucky enough to have a dance session with Emily George and her frog Darci. Musical stars was a great dance game we really enjoyed playing
We have enjoyed finding out about the shops that were in Knighton in Victorian times. We used some of the pictures from Mary Cadwallader’s book showing what Victorian Knighton was like. We created a graphs on HWB showing our favourite Victorian shops and posters to advertise them. Here are some of our posters.
We have been reading and discussing the Hindu story of Creation. We composed music to depict the story and we created our own dance to represent the key parts of the story.
We also created a collage of Vishnu and Brahma.
