Four Purposes Autumn 2023 Y2

Cardiff  City Football Academy

We participated in a series of lessons with Ben from Cardiff City Football Academy. We worked on learning and practising new football skills. There was lots of teamwork involved and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.



NACE Award

We are now an accredited NACE school which means we have been recognised for the challenge we provide our pupils, in order for each and every child to fulfil their true potential. The assessor was extremely complimentary about our school, the pupils, the parents and Governors she spoke with and the excellent evidence presented by Mrs Stancombe. We are very proud of this achievement.

Shmae Su'mae Day

To celebrate the Welsh language on Shmae Su'mae day we wore red to school and took part in Welsh activities in class. 

Harvest

As a school we donated food to the New Life Community Church. In class we discussed what we were thankful for and created thankful pumpkins. Some of the ideas that came up were 'hugs, family, friends, parks, food, home and pets'. 

Halloween

Throughout the year we are learning about different celebrations from around the world. We celebrated Halloween with spooktacular activities in school, followed by our PTA's Halloween disco after school.


Remembrance Day

We used this video as inspiration for our writing. We talked about the importance of Remembrance Day, and then imagined that we were a poppy in a field. We wrote about what we thought we might see, hear, smell and say.

Diwali

Another celebration we have been learning about is Diwali. We listened to the Hindu story of Rama and Sita and talked about how Diwali is celebrated around the world by different religions. 


Anti Bullying Week

We started the week with Odd Socks Day. We talked about our strengths and how to be a good friend.

Children In Need

As a school we raised £1,010 for this amazing cause! It certainly helped that the children were involved in lots of fun Pudsey activities through the day!


French

This term we challenged ourselves to learn the French vocabulary for numbers.  We are able to count to ten in French!
