• New Place to Play in Class 1

  Thu 22 Jun 2017 Julie Smith

  Class 1 have been able to create a wonderful new place to play all thanks to TG in Ellesmere who very kindly donated the wood for this new feature in Class 1.

  Mr. Gruar was then commissioned to construct the wonderful new feature in Class 1. Many thanks indeed.  

  It is the kindness of our wonderful community that helps our little school grow, thrive and be a happy place learn. 

  

• The extra mile!

  Wed 17 May 2017 M.Jones
  Our value this term is service. So with this at the fore front of what we are doing, I had to share this golden moment - Mrs Smith really made one little boys day. He came to school with his special rabbit but as he arrived the head fell off (total disaster). In stepped Mrs Smith- who is always willing to go the extra mile. She took out her sewing kit and made everything better again. Thank you Mrs Smith for making a little boys day and always going the extra mile. That is SERVICE! 

  

• Fantastic Futures

  Mon 15 May 2017 M.Jones

  We all want the very best for our children.  We want them to follow their dreams and be the best they can be.  We know that each of our children are unique and their contribution to the world is unique.  

   

  Today we welcomed 14 volunteers to come and share their chosen career with the children.  We had our very own careers fair with the help of our parents, grandparents and friends.    The atmosphere in the hall was special.  The children were able to interact with all of our visitors and were free to ask questions.  

   

  The children were were motivated and inspired by the morning and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to those who gave up the morning to come and share with us.

• KS1 Dodgeball Tournament

  Fri 31 Mar 2017 Sue Palmer

  KS1 had a brilliant afternoon playing in an inter house Dodgeball Tournament with our new set of Dodgeballs.   It was an hour and a half of fast and furious competition in the school hall with everyone playing for house points to go towards the Spring term total.

   

  The results were a tie for first place between Ruby and Emerald with 70 points each, third was Diamond with 60 points and 4^th with 40 points was Sapphire.

  2^nd place Cockshutt 1

  3^rd place Welshampton 1

  4^th place Criftins Tigers

  5^th place Cockshutt 2
