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!
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!
Such fun this morning developing our collaboration and physical skills through lots of great circus activities.
Children have been working really hard rounding to the nearest ten this week. They have collected natural items such as sticks and they have measured them. They have then rounded their measurements to the nearest 10. We have also used number lines to support our understanding of place value.
We have been really fortunate to work with poet, Cheryl Moskowitz. (http://www.cherylmoskowitz.com/published-works.html)
Cheryl is a leading practitioner in the field of writing and well-being and has been working in schools for 30+ years, supporting teachers and enabling children to explore the magic of words and poetry.
Cheryl worked with us to write a cinquain about places that we find are places of sanctuary (noddfa)
Cheryl is also helping us to produce a Poetry “Zine”.
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of working with poet Cheryl. We thought about ‘Sanctuary’ and what that means to both humans and animals. We then went on to thought shower chosen animals, from ladybirds to wolves. Cheryl then went on to put our ideas into a wonderful poem, ‘Not that Different From You and Me.’
Protecting Yourself and Others from Scams Online
Today, the school E-safety Committee, along with Mrs Blower, led an assembly to introduce Internet Safety day. The focus is protecting yourself and others from online scams. We discussed what a scam is and what you should do if you think you are being scammed.
This week we are learning about instructions. We used our listening and reading skills to follow instructions to make a snake bookmark. We discussed the features of instructions and used the photographs to help us.
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. ARBENNIG PAWB!!
We loved creating an obstacle course for Tiddler. We used our prepositional language to direct Tiddler around the obstacle course. We followed the route ourselves and had great fun!
