Christmas in a Box
Mon 18 Nov 2024Jane Webber came into Class 2 this afternoon and shared her Christmas in a Box session with the Year 1 and 2 pupils. Each box shared the story of a key figure in the Story of Christmas. The pupils had some little activities to complete after each box and were able to keep a keepsake from the session.

Remembrance Day - Class 4 visit St Matthew’s Church
Mon 11 Nov 2024We were invited by Reverend Gareth to visit the church war memorials, both in and outside of the church. We read out the names on the war memorial and found a separate gravestone for one of the soldiers. He died after returning to Criftins, aged 22.
Our visit was both interesting and poignant. These were real people who sacrificed their lives, so that we can be here today.

Remembrance 2024
Mon 11 Nov 2024This year we are commemorating those lost during conflict. Each class has been looking at Remembrance, and understand how important it is to remember those who fought for our freedom.
We held a silence at 11 o’clock, then in the afternoon Reverend Gareth led a service alongside the Worship Team. We listened to The Last Post and to the names of those men of Criftins who had died in World War I.
Lest we forget.
