Playtime Fun!
Year 5 and 6 children have been very inventive in their games this week in the wooded area on the field and creating obstacle course on the playground. They have also enjoyed some fab football games too.
Look at our beautiful symmetrical butterflies
Happy St. Dwynwen's Day!
The children had a fabulous day celebrating St. Dwynwen’s Day. They listened carefully to the story and then they used their reading skills to follow instructions to make their own heart shaped biscuits. Miss Love and Mrs Wood were really impressed by how well the groups worked together to share the doing each of the instructions.

Week beginning 17th January
We have been busy learning the days of the week, we have enjoyed learning a song to help us remember the order of them. We have been learning and talking about concepts such as hot/ cold/ wet/dry and in/on. Forest school session today was so much fun, we looked at bird nests and what birds eat, including making bird feeders. We learnt about fire safety and had a go at making sparks using flints. We used our camp fire to cook Quesadillas for snack. 
Sugar Tax Removed!
In 1874, William Gladstone, the Prime Minister removed tax on sugar. This made sugar more affordable and led to more people having tooth decay. We investigated the effect of sugary liquids and other liquids on our teeth.
We soaked 5 eggs in vinegar, cola, water, coffee and the final egg was half soaked in coffee and toothpaste.
After 2 days, the eggs in coffee and cola stained the egg shell and stuck to the surface. This bacteria then breaks down the sugar to make acid which can damage teeth.
We found our toothpaste covered egg stained less than the non toothpaste covered egg.
The vinegar completely dissolved the eggshell, leaving just the membrane behind.
Victorian School Life in Knighton!
This week the children experienced life in a Victorian classroom when they were greeted for lessons by a very strict Miss Green! They found out about the 3R’s, the drill, the ‘dunce’s cap’ and the cane!
They also looked at old photographs of Knighton School in Victorian times and recorded all of the facts that they could recall on a mind map. They will use their mind map next week to write a report on Victorian schools.
