• Random Pupil Selector

  Thu 17 Oct 2019 M.Jones
  This is one of my favourite moments in school.  I get time to talk to our pupils and find out about all the wonderful things we have been doing in school. They have such wonderful opinions and I always feel uplifted listening to their joy in learning. Have a look at the photos and I know they will put a smile on your face. 

  

• School Book Fair.

  Fri 04 Oct 2019 Criftins
  Tonight we opened our doors for our annual book fair. This is a great opportunity for all parents, carers and pupils to view and buy from a super selection of books. Tonight was busy, so please pop in to see us sometime after school next week.

  

• When Maggie came to visit

  Fri 20 Sep 2019 Mr. Rushton

  After many, many months of organisation, Criftins has finally managed to have a Dog in school every Thursday afternoon! Our latest project is to work closely with an organisation called ‘Pets as Therapy’. This organisation recognises the importance of building nurturing and caring attributes within humans but also the importance we should all be placing on Well-Being and Mental Health for all.

  Today Jenny and her Labrador dog, Maggie visited us in school to work with some of our pupils. We hope to be able to continue the project so that ultimately all pupils have the opportunity to work with Jenny and Maggie.

  Well done to our team of Y5 pupils who attended the maths challenge morning at Oswestry. We are very proud of them.

  

• Summer Success

  Sat 14 Sep 2019 M.Jones

  These children have made the most of every opportunity this summer by completing the Summer Reading challenge in Ellesmere Library and then many went on to run the Ellesmere 2K (or Marshall the run) during the bank holiday weekend. 

   

  Life long learning and embracing opportunities, well done children for challenging yourselves and well done to all the parents/carers who encourage you!

   

  We would like to thank Ellesmere Library for running the challenge again this year and to Paul Davies and his team for organising the Ellesmere 2K & 10K in our area, both such successful community events!

  

• Look at our beautiful library pillar!

  Tue 10 Sep 2019 Kate Long
  Thank you so much to our amazing quartet of Criftins artists - Mrs Reincke, Mrs Barmer, Mrs Waring and Mrs Harris - for these stunning panels. We're sure you'll agree, they really liven up the library space. How many children's fiction characters can you spot?

  

• Computer Club Success

  Tue 02 Jul 2019
  After a wonderful set of computer sessions pupils today were able to showcase their projects to visiting parents and carers. Pupils have been developing the skills of using Python Computer Code to write their own programs. It was great to show the programs created and also for pupils to receive graduation certificates.

  

• The sun is out!

  Thu 27 Jun 2019 M.Jones
  Walking bus today reminded me of how beautiful our school setting is. Long may the sun shine for pond dipping, forest school and enjoying our willow teepee.

  Found this on my desk today from a Reception pupil. The multi link is his ‘message drone’. Put a huge smile on my face!
