Show Racism the Red Card
Forest School
We had a super Forest School session yesterday. Pupils were invited to build shelters and they really developed their problem solving and team building skills. Da iawn Pawb!
Pyjama Drama
In Pyjama Drama we listened to the story of ‘The Cat in the Hat’ and then we acted parts of the story. After the session we enjoyed some parachute games.
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.
Forest School
We have had a fabulous Forest School session today focusing on team building. Da iawn Pawb!
Circus Skills
We love our Circus Skills sessions with Peter Duncan. Learning circus skills provides a wide range of benefits to the participant – increased attention span and focus, personal and social growth, mental and emotional health – all the while within a non-competitive and fun atmosphere.
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’.
Cinema Trip
Years 2, 3 and 4 enjoyed a cinema trip to Newtown yesterday to watch ‘The Cat in the Hat’ by Dr Seuss. For their Mantle of the Expert work this Term they have been commissioned by Dr Seuss to write a play based on one of his stories. The trip was part funded by the Friends of School and part funded by the money that their classes raised for the Christmas Fayre.
Building LEGO Rollercoasters and Programming
We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters. First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track.
We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it. We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.
Black History Month
We have written biographies to celebrate Black History month.
