As part of our work on castles, we have been studying the work of Welsh artist Kyffin Williams. We used his ‘Caernarfon Castle, Cennen Carreg and Conwy Castle’ artwork to create our own versions.
Welsh Artist Study
Harvest Festival
On Wednesday 7th October we celebrated our School Harvest Festival. We had a virtual whole school assembly led by Rev. Petra and Bob. We shared and celebrated some of the work that we have been busy working on for Harvest. Here are some of our harvest prayers.
We also produced artwork showing some of the fruit and vegetables that we are grateful for.
Labelling the Beanstalk
We have enjoyed using our reading skills to label Jack’s beanstalk. We used the pictures on the labels, initial sounds and blending to read the labels and put them in the correct places.
Celebrating Sukkot
The children have been investigating the Jewish festival of Sukkot. As part of the festival they found out that as part of the celebration Jewish people build sukkahs or temporary shelters. Here are some of the sukkahs that the children made using a variety of resources.
Performing songs and rhyme
The children have been busy in their mantle groups performing a range of Jack and the beanstalk themed songs and rhymes.

Children have enjoyed looking at the work of
artist Paul Klee. They used their Welsh language skills to describe the colours and shapes they used in their own interpretations of ‘Castles in the Sun’
