We had a fantastic day as year 3, 4, 5, and 6 pupils took part in the Powys school cross country. Every pupil gave 100% on a very long and difficult course!

The Solar System / Cysawd yr Haul
The children are very enthused about our new ‘spark’ for this term; Space! We received a video from astronaut Dai Davies who needs us to do research into Space and the Solar System to help him on his mission. We have started to look at the Solar System and the order in which the planets are from the Sun. This week we have started to make our very own Solar System using balloons and paper mache. The children can not wait to paint their planets next week!
Enillwyr Tocynnau Cymraeg
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Da iawn pawb!!
The Solar System/Gofod
Today, we enjoyed using paper mache to create the eight planets of the solar system. We can’t wait to paint them next week!
Spring play
Here are a few snaps from our Spring play, which our pupils wrote. It was based on George’s Marvellous Medicine with a hint of Matilda. The pupils created their own checklist of everything that needed to be completed in order to answer the question ‘What will it take to be ready for a theatrical performance?’
We think they were definitely ready, we hope you did too…!
Jigsaw
We have been discussing our emotions and relating it to different colours.
Today, we made a colour rainbow and talked about things we can do to help us when we are feeling sad, anxious and angry.
Great teamwork!
Forest School
This term it is Aderyn du’s turn to develop various skills during Forest School sessions. They were much luckier with the weather…!
RE-A Friend to Earth
After listening to the story of Jesus choosing his disciples, we discussed friendship and how we could be a friend to planet Earth. You can see above the children had some great ideas!
Outdoor Projects 2024!
We are improving our outdoor provision and are very excited to see how the ‘quad’ area and area outside our specialist centre are being transformed! We will keep you updated on progress over the next few weeks!

ADERYN DU P4C (Philosophy for Children session)
We enjoyed playing ‘Shuffleswap’ as a warm up game:-
‘Does the universe go on forever?’, ‘Sharks or crocodiles?’, ‘Christmas or birthdays?’, ‘Is it better for a lamb to live a short life and then be eaten, or not live in the first place?’, ‘UK or Australia?’
We then looked at ‘The Painting We couldn’t Ignore’ (‘An experiment on a bird in the air pump’) and discussed how making progress (technology and medicine) can often be controversial- tests and experiments on animals and humans.
