• Winner of the Chester University Wildlife Photography competition

  Tue 07 Mar 2023 Kate Long

  Here are some photos of the prize-giving day, where one of our Y4 students was presented with a nestbox for coming second in the competition. It was a fun day and Iolo Williams in particular gave a very inspiring talk. There will be another competition in May. 

   

  Our student's picture was of a Mopane worm. She took it on holiday in South Africa- at her granny and grampa’s house out on the nature reserve. 

  

• Visit to the Flaxmill

  Thu 02 Mar 2023

  We had a wonderful time with a few of our Y5 pupils today testing out the new Museum at the Flaxmill and Maltings in Shrewsbury.   We always enjoy working with our heritage partners and this has been a brilliant experience. Teachers can plan but it takes a child to shine a light on the excitement of a new idea.

• Be a courageous advocate

  Fri 17 Feb 2023

  We have raised £165.61 with a non-uniform day and cookie sale to send to the disaster appeal for the Turkey and Syria Earthquake. Our year four and five pupils spent sometime thinking about how we can be a courageous advocate and stand up for those who need our help. Have a look at the posters for some super ideas. 

  

• Criftins Den

  Tue 14 Feb 2023 Peter Jones

  Today we opened up school for our young entrepreneurs who have been working on ways to set up, market and run their own business. All of our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils were involved in selling products to the rest of the school. It was a huge success and great fun. Thank you also to all those adults, parents and our wonderful PTA for helping and supporting.
