Evacuees arrive in Knighton!

Children in Jac-Y-Do and Gwennol met Daisy at the train station in Knighton.  Daisy was an evacuee and she had just arrived in Knighton from Liverpool.  She had been sent to Knighton during World War 2 to keep her safe from the German bombing in Liverpool.

The children will be studying the theme of the journeys made by evacuees to Knighton during World War 2 through the Mantle of the Expert approach to the new curriculum.

Miss Rees and Mrs Fielding would be very interested in hearing from you if you have any information regarding evacuees during World War 2. Their email addresses are:

Christmas Fayre/Ffair Nadolig

What a wonderful Christmas Fayre! Well done to all our wonderful pupils for creating such beautiful items to sell and thank you to to everyone that supported the sale. Merry Christmas!

Diwali

The children have also been finding out about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light.  They enjoyed using their reading skills to read and follow instructions to make Diwali decorations. Ethical Informed Citizens

Music Makers!

Children in Gwennol and Jac Y Do were commissioned to make music using everyday items. The children worked in groups for their compositions. Some groups used items from around the classroom and put them to a different use, whilst other groups used junk materials to make their own instruments. Enterprising, creative contributors.

Shwmae Shwmae!

Children enjoyed using their Welsh language skills to practise their colours and using their incidental Welsh when asking for things during their colouring sessions. They also were able to follow a recipe in Welsh to make some delicious honey flapjacks! Bendigedig! Ambitious, capable learners.

Research, research, research!

Dosbarth Gwennol and Dosbarth Jac Y do were visited this morning by Mrs Rimmer. She thanked us for our letters that we wrote asking her for more bins. She also asked us to help her as she didn’t know much information about plastic pollution. We discussed how we could find information and we decided to use our reading skills to research using the Internet, information sheets and books.
