Some of our Year 6 pupils gave out some origami hearts (calon) to our parents to wish them a ‘Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus’.

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!

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!
Tiddler
This afternoon, we went outdoors and made images of story character ‘Tiddler.’ The children did an amazing job, creating the fish shape, fins, scales and other features. Great team work!
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.
Sports council Santa run and Dance off
A massive well done to Sports Council for organising the Santa run and Dance off, raising an amazing £54 for St. Michaels Hospice. Da iawn pawb!
Enillwyr Tocynnau Cymraeg
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners last week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!
The Welsh Whisperer\Y Sibrwd Cymraeg
The Welsh Whisperer visited Dosbarth Hwyaid Bach, Eryr and Jac-y-Do yesterday to compose a Christmas Song of our very own. We worked within our classes in the morning to compose the lyrics for the song and then all came together in the afternoon to perform the song to the rest of the school. The children agreed that our Christmas Song was a hit and we are all very proud of ourselves of how well it went!!
The Welsh Whisperer then let us party alongside him with him playing a selection of his very own songs. We loved this too, and as you can see from the photos, we all had an amazing time!!
