Celf a chrefft

These are some of our entries for the Urdd Arts and Crafts Eisteddfod. We have photography, jewellery, models, paintings, drawings and puppets! Da iawn bawb a phob lŵc!

Forest School

We have been back outside completing some Forest School sessions. This time it was about following the lead of the learners and seeing what they remembered from last time. Everyone remembered the Forest School rules, and the rules around using tools (a knife this time) were also remembered and demonstrated. Den building was a big hit, they used the pegs created by the knives to hold down the tarpaulin and looked at how to tie some different knots.

What is special about our world?

In RVE we discussed the meaning of the word ‘create’ and we became ‘creators’. We created artwork using natural resources that we felt was wonderful. We talked about our creations and how being outside makes us feel.

Arlo “I feel happy and calm”

Alba “Nature is my happy place”

Corey “I like being outdoors looking at butterflies”

Bluebell “Nature makes me feel free”

Lola “I like taking care of things and helping them to grow”

Elin “Being outside makes me feel peaceful with the birds singing and tweeting”

STEM workshop

Today we were visited by Lucy and Jack from RAF Cosford for a stem workshop. We discussed the forces at play during rocket flights then created models before launching them. We had a winning team for their design and a winning team for the distance their rocket travelled.

The second session involved Lego SPIKE prime, which is always a firm favourite with our pupils.

Reading Buddies

What a lovely way to end the term! Year Five buddied up with dosbarth Eryr to read stories in the sunshine. Thank you Year Five!

County Cross-Country

A massive well done to everyone that took part in the annual Powys Cross-Country. A very challenging course made even harder in the heat, with everyone competing showing great perseverance and support throughout the day. Da iawn pawb!
