Some of our younger learners have been busy exploring pattern in their Mathematics and Numeracy lessons. They have engaged in a range of experiences, including creating patterns with music, natural materials, body movements, and concrete resources.
The learners within the Eco-Committee are thrilled to showcase the new signs for Forest School, purchased with some of the money raised from last term’s second-hand clothing sale. Learners throughout the school are excited to use them during their Forest School sessions. Don’t they look fantastic!
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been having fun with the Bee-Bots, Sphero’s and coding on the computer this week. Some learners had to direct the Bee-Bot to order the planets while avoiding the aliens along the way. Another group had to direct the Sphero with control through a maze to order the planets, and other learners had to program the rocket on the computer to reach each planet. The learners showed excellent perseverance, concentration and determination throughout. Well done Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!
Learners in Year 6 devised a bucket list of tasks to complete, before the end of their RVS experience! Today.. Learners are ”Headteachers for the Day”. Learners have completed wellbeing and safeguarding checks, dealt with issues such as a lack of food in the kitchen, and dealt with disagreements!
Wow! Bore Bendigedig. Yesterday, learners from Dosbarth Miss Powell attended a (lively!) The Band of the Prince of Wales concert with learners from Presteigne Primary School and Gladestry Church in Wales Primary School.This was a superb experience and we’d like to thank National Plan for Music in Powys for facilitating this.
We would like to say a big thank you to all those who donated clothes to our second-hand clothing sale as well as to those who came along on Wednesday. The learners are very pleased to announce that a total of £104.10 was made. The left over clothing has been bagged up ready for ‘Dragon Bags’ to collect next Wednesday which will raise additional money for the school.
A special well done and thank you to the learners in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne and to the Eco-Committee for organising and running this event; all learners worked particularly hard. It was great to see the learners in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne using their money skills learnt in lessons recently to count totals and give change when serving their customers. The learners in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne and the Eco-Committee plan to use the money raised to develop our Forest School area.
We hope you enjoy your new clothing and thank you for helping us protect our environment by recycling!
We are very proud of all our learners who entered the Eco-Committee’s poster competition to advertise our second-hand clothing sale. All posters were excellent and the learners were very creative in the way they designed these. Thank you to all those who entered and a big well done! The Eco-Committee have now displayed the posters around our school site and in Esco’s. Don’t forget to note the date and time in your diary!
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been exploring dynamics within their Expressive Arts lessons this week. The learners listened to and discussed the dynamics in some space music and explored dynamics using the instruments.
What a great morning watching Sinfonia Cymru perform. Learners were excellent in describing the images that came to their mind when listening to the music and how it made them feel. They also answered and asked some great questions throughout. We would like to say a big thank you to Sinfonia Cymru for performing to us today!
Dosbarth Miss Powell had a fantastic day at the Multi Sport Health and Wellbeing Day. We participated in a range of play-based tasks and had lots of fun!
Huge thank you to Sport Powys and Newtown High School – The Cyfle for facilitating another brilliant experience for our learners.
