Our Sports Ambassadors met with Maggie from Sport Powys to discuss upcoming plans to promote Health and Wellbeing in school.
The Sports Ambassadors would like to ask if there are any individuals in the local community who have a sporting skills to share/talk about in school with learners.
Learners from Dosbarth Miss Powell representing Radnor Valley School at the Remembrance Service in New Radnor.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have learnt about why we have Remembrance Day and have created some of their own poppy art.
Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell have reflected on the significance of Remembrance Day this week, with a range of tasks. Learners used Adobe Cloud Creative to create these brilliant post cards
Year 4 – Year 6 attended the Presteigne Netball Festival this week. We had a brilliant day participating in, and spectating games with learners across the cluster. Learners demonstrated excellent progress in both confidence, and skill.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been enjoying learning about coding this week. The learners have created sequences of instructions so that they can think creatively and solve problems. They have engaged within a variety of coding activities. Some of these have included practising different directions outside, exploring algorithms using practical activities where the learners were required to follow their partners instructions to perform given tasks and exploring how to retell the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ through directing the Bee-Bot and using J2Code on the computers.
The learners in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been applying their knowledge and understanding of materials and their properties to independently make their own strong houses for the ‘Three Little Pigs’ to live in. The learners thought carefully about the features of their houses, the materials they used and why, and they talked about what materials they would use if they were going to make a real house, giving reasons for these. The learners have all worked particularly hard and have constructed some amazing houses to confidently talk about. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!
We have had some great fun making biscuit houses and we have enjoyed eating them altogether. They were delicious!
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have used their knowledge and understanding of materials and their properties gained from their previous Science and Technology lessons, to work in small groups to find ‘good’ and ‘bad’ materials for building a house with (a real house or a strong toy house). The learners talked about the reasons for their choices and shared these with their peers.
We read the story of the ‘Three Little Pigs’ and tested the three materials the pigs used to find out whether they were ‘good’ or ‘bad’ choices to build a house with and why. To finish off, the learners then sorted some more materials, such as concrete, slate and wool, working within groups.
Diolch! Thank you!
Thank you to all our parents who joined us this week to celebrate our Harvest Festival. We are very proud of our learners, up on stage for the first time this year…For some, the first time ever!
Huge thank you to all the donations towards the food bank. Upcoming post to detail more about that!
