We watched a live lesson from Giglets, looking at the story ‘The Magic Paintbrush’. We then went outside in the sunshine and shared some of our books with younger children in the school!

Poetry
Today it was our turn to work with Cheryl. We thought about who we are, what makes us us. Then we explored cinquain poems and the rules around them. We worked together to write a class cinquain about Refuge.
Finally we explored the idea of sanctuary…how we offer it when someone needs refuge.
Mindfulness mandala drawing and creativity and some baking with Y4 and Y6- As part of our RVE work on Buddhism this half term! We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and the biscuits were very tasty!

Aharsi: The Bengal Tiger
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!
Circus Skills with Peter Duncan
Such fun this morning developing our collaboration and physical skills through lots of great circus activities.
Goodlands and Badlands
We have worked with Sharon Ginnis (Story Teller) to create our story about ‘Good Lands and Bad Lands’
In our story there is a Good Land where everyone is happy and it is a pleasant place to live. There is also a Bad Land. A wall separates the Good Land and the Bad Land. No one from Good Land has ever been to Bad Land. Bad Land is dark with smoke billowing from it.
A resident from Bad Land came to the Good Land and explained that the smoke was from a volcano and that lots of residents of Bad Lands would need shelter. So the Good Land residents decided that they would take a vote and think of some rules that they could put in place to ensure that everyone was happy and safe.
