We thought about where in Knighton would be a good place to build a rollercoaster. We looked at maps and discussed some of the features in different locations.
Some rollercoasters have to fit in between other rides at the theme park and some are build around things that can’t be moved.
On Saturday 14th September we hosted an Away Day. The day involved 43 refugees from all over the world currently residing in Knighton visiting our School where they were greeted with refreshments and a hot meal. Volunteers from KDRSG provided delicious cakes and they arranged a range of activities including origami, pottery and jewellery making. There was guided tours around Knighton and live music. It was a fabulous day!
Children enjoyed taking on the role of being engineers and designing and building their own shadufs.
We are so proud of our budding young performers and how they were able to convey all of their knowledge of the ancient Egyptian Gods, Kings and way of live to the stage in their recent production of ‘A Glint of Gold’. The play is about the dramatic discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Wow! Jody Mc Partlin from Stoneglass Mosaics has put the finishing touches to our whole-school mosaic that she has worked with the children to produce. Since Easter Jody has worked with children throughout the school to design and create the mosaic based on our school values. The project has been part funded by a grant from the Diocese. Da iawn Pawb!
Last week we welcomed Education Practitioners from Pennsylvania, USA who visited our school to find out about our Education system in Wales. They enjoyed observing some Outdoor Learning in our recently developed areas and some Forest School activities. They really enjoyed their time at our school and the children made them feel very welcome.
As part of our work remembering the D-Day landings, we made parachutes and tested them.
