St David’s Day celebration practise

Today Judith volunteered her time to help some of our pupils who will be helping to celebrate St David’s day in the community on Sunday 2nd March. They learned a song and began a Twmpath to the tune of ‘Mi welais Jac y do’. They were fantastic, da iawn bawb!

Dydd Santes Dwynwen

We have been listening to the story of Santes Dwynwen. We made some origami hearts to spread the love. We watched the video on mute and had the instructions in Welsh…!

Plygwch- fold

Trowch- turn

Canol- centre

Triongl- triangle

Calon- heart

Cwis Dim Clem

Today we took part in the Cwis Dim Clem. We were the third of 27 schools to take part. We will have to wait to find out if we have got through to the next round.

We had 2 winning teams. If our score of 30/40 is high enough, 4 out 5 of them will represent Knighton in the next round!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

We have been enjoying reading this book so far this term. We have completed some descriptive writing around the characters and creating emotions within scenes. We have created freeze-frames of the moment Charlie found the Golden Ticket. We have also tried to create some portraits in the style of Quentin Blake…here are some of our first attempts at painting them.

Parti’r Nadolig!

This afternoon we had some Christmas fun playing Charades and pictionary. We didn’t get a photo of musical statues or everyone enjoying a Popdot (mini doughnut cake) kindly donated by Co-op…! The children finished the day off by playing games, colouring and building models.

Cacennau

’Diolch’ to Larry who came in on Monday to do some baking with some Year 6 pupils. The cakes were gluten-free, and dairy-free or vegan. They had to do some problem-solving when they realised an ingredient was missing but handled the situation very well! The cakes have been very much enjoyed, particularly the apple loaf cake!

Human Rights Day

Year 6 studied a scene depicting a very busy every-day scene. They had to look for rights being enjoyed, being requested and being denied. We later looked through all of the human rights and had to choose some to diamond rank. Our concluding thoughts were that the type of life someone has lived will affect which human rights they consider to be the most important. They also queried whether soldiers were free… .

Ffair yr Nadolig ac arian!

Our Christmas products are coming along nicely but how much should we sell them for…?

Excel was the chosen software to help us decide. The formulas are often difficult to remember, even for adults, but some remembered the work they completed with Miss Jeakings earlier in the term.
