• Goodbye Year 6- we will miss you!

  Sun 20 Jul 2025 Miss Evans

  The time has come to say goodbye to our amazing Year 6s. What a week it has been.

   

  We started with a brilliant trip to Challenge Point in Chester followed by a McDonalds lunch which was such a treat. Then came our leavers’ service at St Matthew’s Church, where every child stood up and spoke so confidently and proudly about their memories of Criftins. They sang their own lovely version of Your Song and we had three whole school songs too which really made it feel special.

   

  A big well done to Ivy who was awarded the Rosemary Horton Award and to Macsen who received the David Evans Sports Trophy. We are really grateful to the Mothers’ Union and the Rotary Club as well who kindly gave each child a Bible and a dictionary to take with them. Thank you also to Reverend Gareth for blessing each of the children.

   

  To finish it all off we had a pizza picnic on the field on their last day. Thank you to the PTA for organising the pizzas, it was the perfect end to the week.

   

  We are so proud of you all Year 6. You have been brilliant and we will miss you but we cannot wait to see what you go on to do next.
