2019 & 2020

Thank you for your feedback and input over the last year with regards to our Celebration Assembly. Celebrating is an important part of school life so much so that it is part of our mission statement ‘Achieve, Believe and Celebrate’.  For many years we have celebrated with our community and we love having visitors in school.  

We have now made the decision to make every last Friday of each term our ‘special celebration’.  We will open school to community for refreshments and a celebration of the term.  We are hoping that more families will be able to come to school as the dates are listed below well in advance. 

Friday 25^thOctober 2019

Friday 20^thDecember 2019

Friday 14^thFebruary 2020

Friday 3^rdApril 2020

Friday 22 May 2020

Friday 17^thJuly 2020

There are two dates which are an exception:  20^thSeptember 2019 where the Head teacher of Lakelands will be available for parents to talk to and the 10^thJuly 2020, our Annual Governors Assembly. 

There are other opportunities to come into school during the year and these will be communicated to you via the school APP. 

Celebration is a huge part of our life in Criftins CE Primary school. We love watch our children grow and develop as they pass from year to year. Our mission statement is to Achieve, Believe and Celebrate and we enjoy involving our community in this. 

Please read our latest feedback to parents and carers as we spent sometime reflecting on the place of community celebration within our school in December 2018.  This event started in January 2014 and we believe it is a special part of our school. 

'It is a privilege to be able to share in celebration assembly and see the school values reinforced so positively.'

'I think the celebration assembly is lovely and sets the school apart from other in terms of their community engagement and involvement.'

'I feel the assembly plays a large part in building the wonderful community spirit that we all benefit from at Criftins.'

Dojo Tea Party Winners.

At the end of another busy term it was great to be able to have a celebration party. Each class throughout this term has been awarding behaviour points using our online Classroom Dojo system. Each class chose the top 2 highest scorers to have time outside eating ice cream! Vanilla, cosmopolitan, sprinkles, sauce and cones was a lovely way for pupils to be acknowledged and rewarded.

Criftins Got Talent.

Another wonderful year of talent and performances as pupils from year 2 to year 6 entertained the whole school. It was wonderful seeing so many pupils being prepared to get up on stage and perform. From magic, to dance, gymnastics and singing. Well done also to our school ambassadors who acted as judges and also our 2 year 6 who were playing at being Ant and Dec.

We’ve been talking what makes a great first line in a story book, then voting for our favourite. Anthony Horowitz was a clear winner - his books are hot property in Class 4 especially! Here’s Beth Johnson who won the random name-out-of-a-hat prize for being one of the pupils who voted.

Every week we gather for a Celebration Assembly.

They are not usually this quick !
