Dydd Ardderchog / Superb Day

Yesterday, some of our learners represented Radnor Valley School at the Powys Primary School Cross Country Challenge 2025 Sport Powys. We are so proud of their efforts, and participation. Diolch yn fawr i Sophie Hodge for adopting the role as, ”Team Lead”. Sophie reported:

”Every single one tried their very best, they cheered on their teammates at the start, middle and end of every race and cheered the other schools round too. I was so proud of all of them and their behaviour was exceptional. The sun shone and they were all awesome!!!”

The learners in Dosbarth Un have been exploring the Easter story and why some people celebrate Easter. As part of this, they planted their own sunflowers to take home to symbolise new life and decorated their pots with pictures representing new beginnings. We also talked about how to take care of the sunflowers to help them grow healthy.

Learners in Dosbarth Un have been exploring states of matter and how particles in solids, liquids, and gases differ. They acted out these states using their bodies to help visualise these. They then conducted an experiment by mixing bicarbonate soda and vinegar to observe the reaction. The learners made predictions about what might happen and later discussed the chemical reaction they witnessed, explaining the reasons behind it.

This week, learners in Dosbarth Un have continued learning about physical and chemical reactions. They listened to the story ‘Let’s Bake a Cake’ and then had the opportunity to bake a cake together to explore the different changes that occur during the baking process. The learners led some excellent discussions throughout. 

Learners in Dosbarth Un have been learning about beat and rhythm in their Expressive Arts lessons. This week, they worked in pairs and used their previous learning to create their own rhythms with the claves. They expressed likes and dislikes throughout the process and focused on creating a rhythm that was cohesive and engaging. The learners worked particularly hard to follow their rhythm grids carefully and maintain an appropriate pace to stay in time with each other. They then performed their rhythms to the class, and together, they created a whole-class rhythm chain. Bendigedig pawb!

Dosbarth Un had an inspiring opportunity this week to engage in a live musical concert led by the Top Brass Trio. The learners not only discovered a range of facts about brass instruments but also explored basic conducting skills.

We’d like to express how proud we are of our learners who embraced every opportunity and conducted themselves exceptionally this week, at Llangrannog. Da iawn pawb.
