Celebrating Differences
Celebrating Differences
We begun our theme of 'Colours of Life' by joining lots of learners from around the UK looking at respect and diversity with Picture News. Picture News supports our learners in encountering and considering the key issues of the day in a planned and age-appropriate way. It also supports their developing understanding of Protected Characteristics and the UN Rights of the Child. We explored diversity and what our school community looks like.

Roald Dahl Day
Roald Dahl Day
On the 13th September we celebrated Roald Dahl Day. We looked at Roald Dahl, found out all about his books and continued to read 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory'. We are really enjoying reading this book and finding out about Cahrlie Bucket. The only thing that annoys us is when we get to the end of a chapter and miss always stops at the good part! It is very frustrating.

Rocco Dean - Author
Rocco Dean - Author
We have been very fortunate as part of our project we had the pleasure of meeting Rooco Dean. Rocco is the author of a number of books about football and we enjoyed asking him lots of questions about being an author and his passion for football. We learnt a great deal and it has inspired some of us to write more.

Jamie Thie - International Coach
Jamie Thie - International Coach
As part of our work on looking at different people and how we can all achieve, we had the pleasure of meeting Jamie Thie. Jamie was a runner himself who later turned to coaching. He exaplained how he achieved his goals and how important it was to work hard. He showed us equipment he uses and training gear. The learners all asked lots of interesting questions. We found out about King Georges Running track and how international athletes use it as it is one of the top tracks in the country. We were amazed as this is our local track.

Rhondda Tunnel Society
Rhondda Tunnel Society
We were fortunate to have vistors who talked to use about the Tunnel Society. Tony Moon gave us an interesting insight into their work and what this means for the Rhondda. Tony kindly gave up his time to discuss the proposed tunnel linking Blaencwm and Blaengwynfi - following the old railway line that closed in 1968. Chat, videos and a Q & A followed as the children learned about elements of the Rhondda past, present and future. There were a series of astute observations and erudite questions from the floor as a packed young audience became absorbed in a development that would result in an incredible cycling and walking facility in our locality. The tunnel when open would be the biggest of its kind in Europe and for six months of the year the attraction will become the largest of its type in the world. We asked some interesting questions and enjoyed the session immensely.

Harold and the Purple Crayon
Harold and the Purple Crayon
We had an action packed day where we went to the VUE in Merthyr Tydfil tp wtach the film. 'Harold and the Purple Crayon'. This film explores how inside his book, adventurous Harold can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off the book's pages and into the physical world, he soon learns his trusty crayon can set off more hilarious hijinks than he thought possible. However, when the power of unlimited imagination falls into the wrong hands, it will take all of his creativity to save both the real world and his own. We loved watching this. In class we are looking at the book 'Journey' by Aaron Becker and some of us made the connection between the purple and red crayon.
