Dosbarth Miss Powell dissected daffodils, as part of exploring the different parts and functions of a flowering plant.

Gail and Jane from CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), as well as Kirsty Williams, the Vice Chief Executive of Powys Teaching Health Board, visited us! Learners explored the term ”worry” and strategies to help us manage our emotions, and feelings of worry.

Dosbarth Miss Powell had a fantastic first, Expressive Arts lesson with Mr Burrows from John Beddoes Campus – Newtown High School! We were introduced to the term, programmatic music and explored mood/feeling. Diolch yn fawr iawn i Mr Burrows for his enthusiasm, and visiting us this term.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about living and non-living things and had fun on a welly walk this week searching for these around the village. We found lots of living things, such as the trees, flowers and animals, and lots of non-living things like bins, cars and houses. Great searching everyone! 

Dosbarth Miss Powell have had a creative morning, stick weaving! It was a fantastic experience and learners have all created either a caterpillar, or a snake to take home.. Beware!

We would like to express our huge thanks to Sue, (and her assistant Sian) for the resources, the time and the support. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Wow! Dosbarth Miss Powell would love to start every week with Mid Wales Opera. Learners composed and sang different recitatives, we also learned an aria from ‘The Bird Catcher’s Song from The Magic Flute by Mozart.

Diolch yn fawr Ieuan a Ian! A fantastic learning experience for all!

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been lucky enough to have a visit from Sophie this week who spent some time living in India. Prior to Sophie’s visit, in class we have learnt about what questions are, why we ask them and how to write them. The learners created some brilliant questions of their own to ask Sophie so that they could find out more information about India and about her experience of living there. Some of the learners worked as a group to create some questions together and other learners typed their own questions up on the computer. We would like to say a big thank you to Sophie for very kindly coming in!

Learners across the school had a visit from PC Viv! Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne learnt about people who help us. Dosbarth Miss Powell, recapped the SMART rules and internet safety. There were some insightful questions that were asked in both sessions – Da iawn pawb!
