Children in Dosbarth Gwennol and Dosbarth Jac-Y-Do have enjoyed creating pieces of artwork about the element of water. They have created pictures of rivers, sea storms, and waterfalls. The paper and colours have kindly been donated by Knighton and District Rotary Club. The pictures will be entered into a competition that will be judged in March by the Rotary Club. Pob Lwc!
Congratulations to our Tocyn Cymraeg Winners this week. A BIG Diolch yn fawr to some Criw Cymraeg members and others from Blwydden 5 a 6 for putting this powerpoint together to deliver our Brawddeg Yr Wythnos.
Roedd e’n blasus ac roedd pawb yn hapus! It was delicious and everyone was happy! Diolch i’r cogyddesau, thank you to Jane, Emma and Claire!
We enjoyed a visit from Larry, Kev and Nicola who are part of the Knighton and District Refugee Support Group who came in to answer some questions to support us with our Mantle. We learnt many interesting facts about the how the group support refugees and also how we can help in supporting refugees.
This afternoon Larry, Nicola and Rev Ken (who are members of this group) visited us to talk to us about what they do. They explained that there are about 40 members who support refugees, possibly host refugees, support hosts and fundraise to facilitate this; they raise about £5000 a year.
Our pupils asked some really insightful questions and were really intrigued by what our visitors had to say. They were particularly taken by the flashbacks that refugees experience when completing very simple activities (such as going swimming) and the idea that refugees think it’s unsafe to drink water from a tap without treating or boiling it first.
Last month we worked with Roger to discuss Space Junk; the class had previously voted on which topic they wanted to cover. These results will be sent to the Government’s UK Space Agency. Our pupils were really thoughtful and polite when discussing the topic.
We loved our music workshop, learning about percussion instruments and the different sounds they make.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring a range of musical instruments with Jim this afternoon. Jim was very impressed with the knowledge the children demonstrated throughout and how well they shared the musical instruments with one another. ARBENNIG PAWB!!
Over the past few weeks, we have enjoyed some sessions with Chris Andrew from Project Touchline learning about the key value of respect and how that is represented in sports in particular rugby. We also created some pieces of Artwork representing what we have learnt throughout the project.
