Today our group competed in the semi-final of Cwis Dim Clem. Despite only having 2 members of the team they scored the same as their opponents. Unfortunately we lost on the tie-breaker question. Da iawn merched, ymdrech bendigedig!

Forest School
We had a fabulous Forest School session playing lots of recall games to develop our listening skills and the children thought of lots of interesting rules for our Forest School to ensure that we stay safe and have lots of fun!

Pentabus Day
Throughout the day we thought a lot about keep sakes and how refugee children take these with them when having to leave their homes. We thought about the journeys refugees have to make and how they might feel when they arrive in a new country. By the end of the day we had created a performance to share with our parents during our class assembly.
Pentabus part 1
We thought about the concept of home and how our homes make us feel.
We have had a wonderful time in P.E. using teamwork to travel around the gym.
Well Done Everyone!
Dathliad Cymraeg
The whole school have worked extremely hard to make Dydd Dathliad Cymraeg a huge success. The children’s attitude to the competitions and ’round robin’ of activities have been exceptional. Excellent performances by all classes delivering a Welsh song. Well done to all of our competition winners and all children for participating in the competitions.
DA IAWN PAWB!!!!
School of Sanctuary
We are proud to have signed the School of Sanctuary pledge and we are working towards becoming a School of Sanctuary.
We support the ‘City of Sanctuary’ vision that the UK will be a welcoming place of safety for all and proud to offer sanctuary to people fleeing violence and persecution.
We endorse the City of Sanctuary Charter and agree to act in accordance with City of Sanctuary values and apply the network principles within our work (as far as our specific context enables us to).
We recognise the contribution of people seeking sanctuary. Sanctuary seekers are welcomed, included, and supported within our school.
What is a School of Sanctuary?
A School of Sanctuary is a school that is committed to being a safe and welcoming place for all, especially those seeking sanctuary. It could be people whose lives were in danger in their own country, who have troubles at home or are just looking for a space of safety.
A School of Sanctuary is a school that helps its students, staff and wider community understand what it means to be seeking sanctuary and to extend a welcome to everyone as equal, valued members of the school community. It is a school that is proud to be a place of safety and inclusion for all.
At Knighton Church in Wales Primary School, we strive to embrace the values of being a School of Sanctuary by extending a very warm welcome to all families from different diverse backgrounds, different cultures and creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.
Key Principles of being a School of Sanctuary:
LEARN Schools help their students, staff and wider community learn about what it means to be seeking sanctuary and the issues surrounding forced migration.
EMBED Schools are committed to creating a safe and inclusive culture of welcome that benefits everybody, including anyone in their community seeking sanctuary.
SHARE Schools share their values and activities with their local communities.
World Book Day / Diwrnod Llyfr y Byd
What amazing costumes we have had to celebrate World Book Day! We have been sharing and discussing our favourite books and characters. We have used our creative skills to paint our favourite characters.
World book day!
In Cnoc-y-coed, we investigated different genres of books and shared our likes and dislikes of books we have read and seen. We then designed our ideal book. We thought about having eye catching front covers and interesting blurbs.
