It was great to welcome back the Animal Man to Knighton. We enjoyed looking at a range of animals and learning more about Charles Darwin.
Science day
All children in year 5 and 6 engaged in science and technology activities. They made bath bombs following a BBC Good Food recipe. They planned and made packaging, thinking about what they should include on the packaging like attractive colours, designs and an ingredients list. Lucy said she enjoyed making her own products. Molly P said she liked working with other people. Freddie B said he liked measuring out and mixing to make the bath bombs. The children also looked at how different types of salt reacted in paint.
It was a very busy and productive day. We hope the children enjoyed using their products at home!
Science Enrichment Morning
The children all had important jobs of being structural engineers. They had to design and make a boat that would hold the most weight and design and make a bridge that would hold the heaviest weight.
Animal Man Visit
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.
