Diolch yn fawr i Presteigne Fire Service crew for a brilliant afternoon. Learners had a practical and hands on learning experience with the resources that are used by the fire service.

Today we welcomed Alison & Sarah from the Presteigne Festival Project in to work with our blwyddyn 6 children! We walked into the village with Gladestry year 6’s and found a spot by the water where we used our senses to take notes about our surroundings. As a team we then gathered a word bank ready for the next step of the project.

As part of Dosbarth Mrs Curtis Dwr Diddorol topic we have been studying the water cycle and investigating the question ‘Where does water begin?’

A big thank you to all those who supported our Macmillan Coffee Afternoon. We are pleased to announce that we raised a total of £260.72. Thank you to the School Council for organising and delivering such a successful event.

A fun (and quite messy) gardening session with learners from Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Curtis on Thursday.

Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell a Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had a fantastic first session with Impelo dance company this afternoon. Learners demonstrated creativity and enthusiasm as they developed an understanding of a sequence.

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had a fantastic afternoon at Radnor Hills. It was very interesting for our learners to discover the process from the factory to our school. Huge thank you to Radnor Hills for hosting us so well, and for our freebies!

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have received a special award in the post for their Marble STEM Competition from last term.

Last week Dosbarth Mrs Curtis joined forces with Gladestry Church in Wales School and took part in the Royal Academy of Engineering Collaborative Project 2022. Each group worked on a design for their own inventive marble run. We were so proud of how well the both schools worked together and finished their challenge in the time given. On Friday afternoon we joined in the live presentation and were awarded the Collaboration Award and have won a 3D printer for school. Da iawn pawb!!!

What an awesome day! Of course Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell had to visit a theme park, as part of our ‘Theme Park Thrills’ learning theme. It was brilliant to observe the science in real life, and have lots of fun! Da iawn pawb!
