We enjoyed spending a lovely afternoon at St. Edward’s Church being ‘History Detectives’. We investigated and recorded data from the headstones and we even had the opportunity to look at some of the church records from over 300 years ago!
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!
Churchyards and burial grounds are very important
places for Lichens. Many burial grounds have well over
100 species of Lichen in them. In our groups we looked at how many different types we could find and where we found them.
Our archaeologists have been wanting to find out more about the mummification process. In groups they made mummies using the materials provided and they looked at the key stages involved in the process.
Year 2 and 3 have been looking at forces and magnets in Science. They carried out an investigation to test the amount of friction on different surfaces.
We worked hard to follow instructions and create some bots on some new Lego coding kits. We found this hard work ,but great perseverance and problem solving skills were demonstrated!
Children in Years 2 and 3 have started their Eco-Church Project as part of their RVE work. They visited St. Edward’s Church and explored all of the mini-beasts that call the Church grounds their home.
We had a fantastic day as year 3, 4, 5, and 6 pupils took part in the Powys school cross country. Every pupil gave 100% on a very long and difficult course!
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Da iawn pawb!!
We are improving our outdoor provision and are very excited to see how the ‘quad’ area and area outside our specialist centre are being transformed! We will keep you updated on progress over the next few weeks!
