Harvest Festival
Who are they? Pwy ydyn nhw?
This week we have been thinking about who the refugees are…who are the individuals going through this experience?
The pupils ‘met’ a mother, with her child, who’d had to flee her home country and arrived in the UK. They ‘heard her thoughts’. From this the pupils thought about what would need to happen if they were in a job where they met refugees who had just arrived by whatever means possible. They decided they would need to collect data about them, to be able to know; who they are, what they need now and to be able to help them going forward.
Everyone had a go at creating a form to collect this data, then as a class we looked at the most efficient way to create one.
Pentabus part 3!
We listened to the story of a young boy who had to leave his home.
Ydych chi’n gallu dyfalu beth oedd y geiriau pwysig? Can you guess what the important words were in the story? We had to create an image for them.
Our Meadow/Ein Gweirglodd
We have created a meadow as a class. We drew minibeasts that would live in the meadow and thought about the different habitats within the meadow. We are a team of conservationists, that have been asked to find out about and take care of the minibeasts in the meadow.
Freeze framing
We looked at a photo of some refugees. We made the same pose they were making in the photo. We held this pose. Then we thought about what they might be thinking and what they might say in the same situation.
Pentabus; part 2!
This week we thought about home; what is it? We had to consider the 5 senses when thinking about home. We then gave a word to describe home….calm, happy, relaxed, like I can do whatever I want, entertained, sleepy…!
Pentabus project
We are working with Andrew, from Pentabus, on a project which has been part-funded by the Knighton and District Refugee Support Group.
We started by considering how all of our experiences are different.
Mini beast Hunt\ Helfa Bwystfilod Bach
We have been on a minibeast hunt on the school grounds. We used our observation skills and found insects and spiders living in the grass and around our trees.
Knighton & District Refugee Support Group
Larry Wright visited our school on 20th March 2023 to lead a collective worship session explaining his role within the Knighton & District Refugee Support Group. We discussed what a ‘refugee’ is and what we can do to help. We found out that Knighton & District Refugee Support Group welcomes and supports people seeking refuge in the UK. Larry continues to lead fortnightly assemblies with a values based focus focusing on offering sanctuary to people facing forced migration.
Song of Children’s Rights
Children from Year 2 upwards have been learning a special song about the rights of children.
