• Ian Bland Poetry Fun !

  Tue 11 Oct 2022 PoemHunter

  The day Ian Bland Visited Criftins.

  Wow what a treat for all of us here as we were entertained and inspired by the amazing Ian Bland. Starting off with an incredible assembly of fun, actions, mime and words we were introduced to the fun world of poetry. All the pupils and all the staff were interactively involved for a truly memorable experience. As the day progressed each class worked with Ian on a poetry workshop. Great fun, thank you Ian for making our day so special.

  

• Sports Leader Elections

  Wed 05 Oct 2022 S Palmer

  We had 8 children put themselves forward to be elected as Criftins Sports Leaders 2022.  They gave a presentation to the KS2 children saying why they thought they should be elected and the qualities that they could bring to the job. It is great that we have so many wishing to stand.  
  The results will be announced next week!

  I had such a lovely time with our children this morning talking about school life.  We learn so much from the views of our children. We talked about all our subjects and how to get help when we are stuck. We had lots of giggles too!

• National Day of Prayer

  Thu 22 Sep 2022

  Today we joined together as a whole school to value our school, locality but also to take time out for reflection and prayer. As a Church School our time together to worship and pray is very important. After meeting together the whole school walked around our school locality and community searching for prayers that had been specially placed.

• What did you do in your summer holiday?

  Mon 12 Sep 2022 M.Jones

  We are delighted to celebrate this pupil who has aimed high over the summer and is now the youngest pupil in our Federation to complete the Maths Whizz programme.   He has worked diligently and it has had a huge impact on his Maths ability.   We absolutely love it when our children are driven to work hard because effort brings progress in everything we do in life. This pupil has started Year 5 in style and has many positive learning habits formed!  Well done.
