• Cambrian Railway Visit

  Fri 08 Jul 2022 All Aboard !

  Heritage study is about linking learning of subjects with our local area. Class 3 and class 4 today joined together for a wonderful Railway experience. With a huge thank you to The Cambrian Railway pupils today enjoyed a guided tour of the museum, use of on site facilities and a return train ride. It was amazing, the Cambrian Railway experience is well worth a visit so that you can travel back in time to find out about this once well used railway line.

  

• Sports Day

  Thu 07 Jul 2022

  Great to see everyone together and enjoying the outdoors. Being active is so important as is community and it was wonderful to be able to invite our parents in this year to see their children competing in school.  Our KS1 children were led by the Year 6 leaders who had organised their own stations from design to scoring, it was run incredibly efficiently!

  The KS2 children competed in a Pentathlon in the afternoon, both events ended with the traditional running races.  The results of the team event will be announced in our Sports Assembly next week!

  

• STEM Workshop !

  Mon 04 Jul 2022 STEM

  Working across our two school is always exciting. It was wonderful today as all our year 6 pupils across our Federation gathered for an amazing workshop on designing and engineering. Each group worked to design, construct and make a working model vehicle. As the day progressed pupils linked laptops and Crumble devices to program their working model vehicles. A huge thank to Leeanne and Bailey from The STEM Workshop who made this project possible.

  

• Merefest - a success!

  Fri 01 Jul 2022 M.Jones

  What a wonderful community celebration for our 90 years.  We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.  It was simply fantastic to see families both past and present and I even found out that Criftins CE Primary School used to educate up to 15 years of age, I wish we could bring that back. 
   

  Thank you to Mr Jones and the PTA for all their dedication to the event. It was certainly one for the memory book. We raised an amazing £2,364.56 for our school reading shed which was designed by the children. When we set out on this venture we were concerned about breaking even so we are just blown away by the success of the event. 
   

  Do you want to do it again?  

  

• Good to be Me

  Thu 30 Jun 2022 Inspired

  This week we have spent time thinking about how special each of us are. Knowing what makes each of us unique and special is so important. On Thursday of this week we wanted to focus on those people in our lives that have made a significant impact on us. From singers to athletes, doctors and nurses through to family members. Each of us makes a contribution to our wonderful world. Thank you to everyone for making today so special.

  Wed 29 Jun 2022 Bookworm

  What a great day today as we welcomed the wonderful Tom Percival. It was great for us to be able to get together to meet a real author and illustrator. Tom shared with us his experiences. Tom also entertained us with his marvellous stories back in time and delighted us all with his great humour. Thank you for visiting us and inspiring us!

  

• Summer Reading Challenge

  Tue 28 Jun 2022 Bookwork

  Today we welcomed former pupil Charlotte and Sheila from the Library Service to talk to us about The Summer Reading Challenge. 
  Every time a book is read, stickers are collected which builds up to completing a wonderful poster challenge and a chance to earn a certificate and medal upon completion. Reading is fun, especially through the Summer Holidays.
