• Inter School Basketball

  Tue 25 Jan 2022 Mrs S Palmer

  Cockshutt joined us this afternoon for a fast game of basketball, we played 7 minute matches which resulted in a 11 -11 draw, it was great to see the children working as a team and having a great afternoon of team sport.

  

• High 5 Netball Tournament

  Wed 12 Jan 2022 Mrs S Palmer

  What a great afternoon we had at the Marches school today playing in the High 5 netball tournament.  The children have to rotate positions in every match which gives them the opportunity to play each position on the netball court.  
  We played 3 games in the first round winning 1 and drawing 2 which qualified us for the trophy final where we played Oswestry School, Bryan Offa and Whittington.  We won 1, drew 1 and lost 1 which meant we finished in 3rd place which was a terrific achievement.

  

• Walking bus route gets the thumbs up

  Wed 12 Jan 2022 M.Jones

  I had a great time risk assessing the walking bus route with this family this morning. The route was lovely and crisp on this winter morning so we will restart the walking bus from Tuesday the 18th. 
   

  Please be patient with us because if we have a spell of wet weather we will need to reassess and possible stop the service for a period of time. 

  

• Life skills

  Fri 07 Jan 2022 M.Jones

  A huge thank you to one of our children who has spent some of his holiday making bird boxes with his grandad.  We are delighted he has donated one to our forest school area, it is certainly better quality than those you buy in the shops.  It is wonderful to see such a creative use of holiday time, a kind and caring attitude and life skills being handed down from one generation to the other.

• The 2021 Big Draw Festival

  Fri 03 Dec 2021 Criftins Staff

  It was wonderful today when the whole school joined together for our Annual Big Draw. The theme for this year- Make the Change. Recent events in the news was our drive and thoughts with our very own Eco Protest. No matter how big or small good habits created early can make a difference. This morning we gathered to create artwork and banners and then this afternoon took them outside and into the community for our very own Eco Protest. Great fun, with an important message.
