Forest School Finale!
We spent our last morning together in a Forest School session with Toni and Ruth. We tried new activities, which included making Kazoos and eating doughnuts cooked on an open fire. Everyone had a lovely time, it was the perfect way to chill when everyone was feeling so many different emotions.
Forest School!
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their block of Forest School sessions. They have learnt lots of new skills and demonstrated great resilience, perseverance and confidence! Da iawn pawb!
The Rainbow Serpent
Today we read ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ which is an Aboriginal Dreamtime story. After discussing the story, we worked in groups to complete our activities. Some children decided to develop their AI skills by using Adobe to generate a illustration of the rainbow serpent; some learners listened to some didgeridoo rhythms and then looked at some images of different didgeridoos before creating their own. We also created our own dance based on the movements that the animals in the story make.
Dydd Cymraeg
Today we had a great day celebrating Wales through lots of fun, Welsh activities. Reception focused on ‘Sut wyt ti?’ and Year One ‘Ble wyt ti’n byw?’ We played parachute games, decorated biscuits with feelings and houses and loved the silent disco!
Dydd Cymraeg
We decorated some biscuits showing if we were feeling hapus, drist, bendigedig or wedi blino.
Then we had lots of fun at the silent disco.
Community as a Superpower!
This year, the ‘Power of Community’ was the refugee Week theme. Together we are very strong, creative and make things happen.
We assembled in marquee on the field and we spilt into four mixed aged groups. Each group was responsible for making each bird; the tern, the swift, the whooper swan and the red kite.
Each child had their very own hand-held bird which they decorated.
We also created our own nest by weaving ripstop ribbons around willow.
In the afternoon, we took our individual birds on a journey ‘around the world’ through the obstacle course depicting the ice, sea, wind and even a volcano! We thought carefully about all of the things that we noticed about our journey.

At the end of the day, we gently carried our large birds to meet each other and ‘perch’ on the Kite’s nest. This represented the Kite offering Sanctuary to the migrants for as long as they need it.
We were very grateful to Larry and Ciara and their team of willing volunteers that enabled us to be strong, creative and to make wonderful things happen!
Well-being day
For our well-being day Year 6 pupils welcomed parents into the classroom after our class assembly. They then chose to either play rounders or to do some arts & crafts outside. This was followed by a Forest School session in the afternoon. How relaxing!
Year 6 Leavers’ Service
Our Year 6 pupils were invited to Brecon Cathedral to take part in the Leavers’ Service for the children in the diocese. Pupils created a banner, which represented our school, to present to the Bishop. We took part in a service then enjoyed some different activities in the Cathedral in the afternoon. Roedd e’n hyfryd.

Jigsaw-Relationships
We played ‘Musical Friendships’ as part of our work on being a good friend. When the music stopped we had to find a friend and do something kind. We had lots of hugs, fist bumps and high fives! It made us all feel really happy!
