Year 6 transition activities

On Wednesday all of our Year 6 pupils visited John Beddoes Campus along with other Year 6 pupils in our cluster. In teams they completed a Break-Out activity as a way to learn about the layout of the building. They spent the afternoon with a Youth Worker playing games to develop resilience. Previous pupils from Knighton Primary supported them throughout the day, which was lovely to see. Everyone had a great time and they represented our school brilliantly! Da iawn, bawb!

Crefft

Some of our pupils have been working on Celf a Chrefft entries for the Urdd Eisteddfod. Cutting, plaiting, threading and sewing skills have all been developed.

A place of Sanctuary

During Assembly on Monday we celebrated being appraised as a School of Sanctuary. Members of the appraisal team commented “It was such a pleasure to spend time with your pupils and hear about their learning. They are an absolute credit to you and clearly demonstrate what a warm and welcoming place Knighton School is”. They also added “Pupil voice in school is clearly very well embedded through your variety of councils and they feel empowered to make changes.” We are all very proud.

Story Telling with Sharon

We have been working with Sharon to create a story about the ‘Goodlands’ and ‘Badlands’. We have started by looking at the structure of a story and then in groups we created our own settings for our stories. We also acted out what it would be like to live in our ‘Goodlands’.

Recount writing!

Barcud Coch have been working hard on a Friday afternoon to complete an extended write! Last week they completed a cold write (no help at all) to recount an investigation they carried out. We then studied recount texts and looked for the features they need. Following on from this, we looked at specific sentence structures and time connective we could use to develop our writing!
