A wonderful Harvest Celebration with @PrimaryCp and @LangtonsFarm led by Rebecca 🧑‍🌾🧺📻🎶 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

‘Siaradwr yr Wythnos’ award winners. Da iawn pawb! #siarteriaith

Diolch yn fawr @StFagans_Museum Blwyddyn 2 had a great time visiting Kennixton Farmhouse and buildings, Gwalia Stores, Maestir School, Rhyd-y-Car Terrace, Derwen Bakehouse and Llawr-y-Glyn Smithy. We all thoroughly enjoyed learning about life in the past.

Blwyddyn 1 thoroughly enjoyed their day at St Fagans learning about shopping in the past, visiting a Victorian school and many houses from different eras! @StFagans_Museum thank you for having us, it was a great day of learning and fun!

‘Siaradwr yr Wythnos’ award winners. Bendigedig pawb! #siarteriaith

Blwyddyn 1 have been busy creating self portraits from natural materials, exploring the properties of 2D shapes and making water gauges to measure our rainfall in centimetres. We await the measurement of rain over the weekend and we’ll see if the estimates are anywhere near! ☔️

An enjoyable Forest School session with Year 3 this week. We discussed what things you would need to make a fire, such as twigs and sticks which would need to get bigger to feed the fire. What better way to celebrate having a fire than toasting marshmallows.

We’re in second place for a Tesco grant at the moment! You have the power, until the end of the day on Monday, to turn this around and get into store in Abergavenny putting blue coins in the middle box! Thank you for your support, let’s go for gold🥇

Welcome to our new Eco Committee for 2024-25. The children were keen to get started and have been discussing plans for the coming year. Thank you to @Keep_Wales_Tidy for laying wildflower turf in our school grounds today.

Really good to work with @Our_Llangattock and @love_zimbabwe on another successful March for Africa. We raised an amazing £500. Thank you to everyone who took part.

A fabulous Forest School session with Year 2 this week. They worked as a team to learn safe fire skills. They loved toasting marshmallows over the fire and making s’mores. @outdoorlearning #ambitiouscapablelearners

A huge thank you to Crickhowell Rotary for a brilliant football tournament today. And DA IAWN to everyone who played brilliantly. #HealthyConfidentIndividuals

The children enjoyed a whole school assembly by Dwr Cymru today and Years 3, 4 and 5 had the opportunity to engage in workshops exploring habitats and the impact of water pollution on the environment. @DiscoverDwr @DwrCymru

Blwyddyn 1 had a blast today making a delicious fruit salad. Not only exploring and tasting a variety of fruits but also learning essential cutting techniques, developing fine motor skills with lots of smiles and enthusiasm. Learning never tasted so sweet 🍇 🍎 🥝 🍓 🍌

Y3&4 visited Big Pit today to find out about Wales’ mining history, as part of our Cynefin topic. We saw artefacts and learnt about rock types, the lives of miners and the highlight of the trip was a fantastic underground tour! Diolch ⁦@BigPitMuseum⁩

Y5 enjoying PE sessions, being active and improving their footballing skills !

Blwyddyn 1 harvested our veggies and cooked up the most delicious soup together. Not only learning about gardening but gaining valuable life skills in teamwork, cooking and healthy eating! Planting to commence soon for an even bigger harvest 🥕 🥔 🧅

This week Year 3 have been healthy, confident individuals. We have participated in orienteering which helped develop our communication and team building skills. In gymnastics, we practised moving in a variety of ways using the different apparatus.
