Today we took part in the Cwis Dim Clem. We were the third of 27 schools to take part. We will have to wait to find out if we have got through to the next round.
We had 2 winning teams. If our score of 30/40 is high enough, 4 out 5 of them will represent Knighton in the next round!
This term Aderyn Du have started reading and learning about the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have enjoyed the story so far and have completed descriptive writing about Charlie Bucket’s house and we also had a go at drawing in the style of Quentin Blake. Here are some of our drawings – we were very pleased with how they turned out!
We have been enjoying reading this book so far this term. We have completed some descriptive writing around the characters and creating emotions within scenes. We have created freeze-frames of the moment Charlie found the Golden Ticket. We have also tried to create some portraits in the style of Quentin Blake…here are some of our first attempts at painting them.
This afternoon, we went outdoors and made images of story character ‘Tiddler.’ The children did an amazing job, creating the fish shape, fins, scales and other features. Great team work!
A huge thank you to our kitchen staff and dinner supervisors for making Christmas Dinner Day such a success this year!
The children thoroughly enjoyed designing and making a variety of items to sell at our Christmas Fayre this year. They carefully sourced materials and looked at profit margins to make sure that they did not make a loss! The Fayre was supported brilliantly by families and our community and we managed to make £953.20. Bendigedig pawb! What a fantastic event!
Father Christmas paid a visit and was very impressed with his ‘Narnia’ grotto, through the wardrobe!
We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters. First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track.
We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it. We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.
Thank you to all the wonderful ladies in the kitchen for cooking our delicious Christmas lunch today and to all that decorated the hall and helped us in the dinner hall. Diolch!
This afternoon we had some Christmas fun playing Charades and pictionary. We didn’t get a photo of musical statues or everyone enjoying a Popdot (mini doughnut cake) kindly donated by Co-op…! The children finished the day off by playing games, colouring and building models.
We are having a lovely Christmas Party Day! We have danced our shoes off this morning, played musical statues and musical bumps, played pass the parcel and had some treats. When we got back to class, we had a very friendly visitor there… it was FATHER CHRISTMAS!!
