The Oxen and the Afanc.

We listened to the story of "The Oxen and the Afanc" and acted it out. Now we are telling our partner the story. We are remembering to include as much detail as possible and lots of expression!

Gallery Success

Last night, we witnessed a wealth of talent in Beech, Willow and Oak classes when parents came to view the amazing artwork that they had created as part of their gallery project. We were fortunate to be inspired by two visiting artists and pupils studied a wide range of art using their literacy and numeracy skills. Most paintings were sold and we thank all parents who supported this event ! Again, we are proud of our pupils' achievements. Thank you also to the teachers for working hard to help the pupils set this gallery up.

Louise Clough, local artist

We have been ultra busy this afternoon because we've also been visited by local artist Louise Clough. She showed us some of her beautiful paintings and talked about her inspirations.

Visiting welsh adviser

We are very lucky to have Miss Attree visiting us. She specialises in teaching Welsh. Today we have learnt a new poem called "Ble wyt ti'n byw?"

Artist workshop

Mr Bradbeer, an art teacher from St. John the Baptist School, visited the upper juniors this afternoon to do some art work linked to our topic "Gallery".

He showed the children how to draw a picture starting with 3 rugby balls...

which became Santa Claus!

He showed us how to draw people in the style of "The Simpsons". 

We all had a go at Simpsonifying some very famous portraits.
