Pasg Hapus!
What is special about our world?
In RVE we discussed the meaning of the word ‘create’ and we became ‘creators’. We created artwork using natural resources that we felt was wonderful. We talked about our creations and how being outside makes us feel.
Arlo “I feel happy and calm”
Alba “Nature is my happy place”
Corey “I like being outdoors looking at butterflies”
Bluebell “Nature makes me feel free”
Lola “I like taking care of things and helping them to grow”
Elin “Being outside makes me feel peaceful with the birds singing and tweeting”
Music Monday!
Today we joined schools from all over Powys for a very special ‘Music Monday’. We were treated to live music from ‘Top Brass Trio’. They played the trombone, French horn and the trumpet. We enjoyed listening to music from some of our favourite songs.
Forest School
The children worked really hard today in their forest school session; they worked as a team to collect everything that they needed to build our fire and they enjoyed a ‘healthy’ treat to round off the afternoon. Da iawn pawb!
Forest School
In today’s session we thought very carefully about ‘cynefin’ and our sense of belonging and some of the children decided to create a range of bug hotels for our local wildlife to seek sanctuary.
Pyjama Drama
We had a fabulous afternoon with Louise from Pyjama Dram creatind a sequel to ‘The Cat in the Hat. What do you think happened next?
Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus!
As part of our Eisteddfod, we enjoyed a ’round robin’ of activities. Here are some of the children creating 2-d and 3d artwork using natural resources capturing our ‘cynefin’.
Circus Skills with Peter Duncan
We enjoyed a super Circus Skills session yesterday with Peter – great development of fine and gross motor skills, thinking and problems solving skills. Well done to all of of our resilient learners who persevered and kept trying! Da iawn!
Aharsi: The Bengal Tiger
We celebrated International Mother Tongue Day by joining other schools in Powys for a Live event retelling the story of ‘Aharsi: The Bengal Tiger’. Pupils enjoyed listening and joining in with the story and developing their language skills. They listened carefully and were able to answer lots of questions about the story. Da iawn Pawb!
Goodlands and Badlands
We have worked with Sharon Ginnis (Story Teller) to create our story about ‘Good Lands and Bad Lands’
In our story there is a Good Land where everyone is happy and it is a pleasant place to live. There is also a Bad Land. A wall separates the Good Land and the Bad Land. No one from Good Land has ever been to Bad Land. Bad Land is dark with smoke billowing from it.
A resident from Bad Land came to the Good Land and explained that the smoke was from a volcano and that lots of residents of Bad Lands would need shelter. So the Good Land residents decided that they would take a vote and think of some rules that they could put in place to ensure that everyone was happy and safe.
