Kerbcraft

Here are some of the children enjoying their Kerbcraft sessions with Powys Road Safety. Many thanks to Sue Davies and Emma Darling for volunteering.

Electrical circuits

As part of our Mantle, we have been tasked with answering the question ‘How does a lightbulb work?’ We investigated this by looking at electrical circuits and explored different components that could be used.

The Curiosity Channel

We have set up our own ‘YouTube’ channel called The Curiosity Channel, where viewers can write in with any of their scientific questions and we will try to create an explainer video to help them understand the answer to their question. The class have worked hard to write an introductory script, created a logo and a tune for the show. They have used Abode to put all of these elements together for our first video. Since sharing the video on our channel (on Hwb) we have been asked a question about electrical circuits. Can we help?

Helpwr Heddiw

Today we practised asking ‘What day is it?’, ‘What day was it yesterday?’ and ‘What day will it be tomorrow?’ whilst playing Pick Up Sticks!

Pa ddiwrnod yw hi heddiw? Dydd Mercher yw hi heddiw.

Pa ddiwrnod oedd hi ddoe? Dydd Llun oedd hi ddoe.

Pa ddiwrnod fydd hi yfory? Dydd Iau bydd hi yfory.

Fun Club

Children in Year 2 have been busy creating Autumn inspired artwork in Fun Club. They used a range of Autumn colours to create a background before cutting a black silhouette over the background.

Kerbcraft

Kerbcraft teaches children ages 5-7 how to be safer pedestrians by taking them onto real roads and showing them how the right decision-making and behaviour can really help them to keep safe when crossing the road.

This week the children have been choosing safe places and routes to cross the road. Rob Griffiths who coordinates the Kerbcraft scheme was really impressed by how well the children were able to recognise dangers and hazards and identify alternative crossing places.
