Four Purposes

FOUR PURPOSES

The children began the term by designing their own characters to represent each of the Four Purposes. These designs were shared with the school council members who voted for their favourites. The year 6 children then looked at the statements for each of the four purposes and wrote their own 'Child-friendly statements'. These ideas were then used to create posters that are now displayed in each classroom throughout the school.

Collaborative Website

Each child was allocated a country from the 2022 football World Cup and was challenged with becoming 'an expert' of that country. Pupils carried out their own independent research and worked collaboratively with others to present their information is a shared website (Google Site). This website was continually updated throughout the topic.

Channel 5 News

We were contacted by Channel 5 news who had seen a tweet containing the children's motivational video messages for the Wales football team ahead of their world cup campaign in Qatar. The News channel visited the school to speak to both the children and staff about the work they have covered during the build-up to the tournament and what they thought of Wales competing in the world cup. The children made it onto the Channel 5 news that evening.

Jeremy Vine Show Live

After seeing a tweet containing our motivational speeches for the Welsh football team, we were contacted by the producers of the Jeremy Vine show on Channel 5 to appear live on the programme to talk about why we thought it was important to allow the children to watch Wales world cup games during lesson time.

Griffiths Groundworks

During the Autumn term, the children in year 6 were visited by members of staff from Griffiths Groundworks to talk about Road safety as Cwmlai primary is the closest school to the new Road improvement work that is going on along the A4119 (Ely Valley Road.) The children enjoyed getting the opportunity to sit in the lorry to learn more about the drivers 'blind spots'.
