• Picture News

  Thu 25 Jan 2024 N Ews.

  Thursday is Picture News Day.

   

  Every Thursday we get together to find out about current affairs and items in the news. Our Y6 pupils use a wonderful resource from the Picture News team and present the items to the whole school. This is an important part of developing critical thinking, considering events, activities and also our own point of view. Each week a different team of Year 6 present the News and of course time for singing, reflection and prayer.

  As we bring together our closing thoughts of this term, former pupils and present pupils of Criftins  gathered at our local church.
