HUMANITIES RE - FAITH and FESTIVALS
Immersion day, visitors and trips gave learners a flavour of how faith and worship looks for a number of faiths. Learners developed understanding of leaders, key figures and icons, stories and customs, special places, food and dress, laws, rules and beliefs.
Through study of a wide range of religious and non- religious principles, to include amongst others Judaism, Christianity, Sikhism, Islam, Hinduism, Rights of the child and Humanism, learners developed a clear understanding of what is important to them and to others and this was reflected in vibrant and enthusiastic response!

Time Travel 2024
A strong emphasis on experiences through trips and interesting visitors, set the tone for an exciting and informative topic. Building on prior learning from our previous Time travel topic, we focused heavily on now and then comparissons, focusing on features of our Welsh Heritage and locality.
Take a look at the slide show that shows our work on the topic captured by our 'Barn y Plant' representitives
Beddau and Beyond
This topic was introduced by a thrilling treasure hunt of places and landmarks through our village which was enhanced by parents getting involved along the way. Foundation Phase also had a visit to Saint Michael's church with a historical talk by the warden Mary West and a visit to Pontypridd town museum and library. We were also celebrating our 50 year anniversary and the children worked hard on making a time capsule with photos, poems, letters and favourite things to be enjoyed in years to come.
Time Travel
Our topic Time Travel focussed on areas of learning within humanities. Humanities is made up of 3 elements- History, Geography and Religious Education. The topic was carried out by the whole school. Each class decided on a theme to focus on within Time Travel. The main focus for the topic was History but each of the other elements was also covered.
We covered a range of themes across the school: From nursery rhymes (now and then) to local history, mighty monarchs, victorians and WW2.
This video provides a snapshot of the excellent Humanities work produced by pupils across the school.
We hope you enjoy watching it!
