After studying The Ellesmere Union Workhouse as part of our heritage curriculum, we invited The Young’uns over to Criftins. They wrote and recorded a song with us about Hannah Chetwood, an inmate from the workhouse, who married a man called John Beckett and lived in Love Lane. This is a song about her life.

I enjoyed listening to our Year 4 children drumming this morning they all were focused and able to swap rhythms. Well done crazy kids
We turned back the clock to 1940s wartime Britain and enjoyed taking part in a rich variety of activities and games.

A wonderful experience when class 1 and class 4 joined together to share a story.
A wonderful celebration of the joy of poetry, from the lyrical to the comic to the anthemic!
Listen to Kate as she explains how reading can have a huge and long lasting impact on writing. Reading opens up a whole world of opportunity and it’s impact can be felt in many ways.
This young man (who is only 5) made me smile today with this story. I love how accurate he is and how he corrects himself without prompting. Super learning!
Working together is an important part of learning you need to: listen to others; say when you don’t understand; be kind when you disagree; explain things to help others and be tolerant.
To be a successful learner you need to persevere even when you feel like the task is too difficult, this is when the real growth happens. You will have a true feeling of success when you conquer a difficult task. You need to: work hard; practise lots; keep going; try new strategies; ask for help; start again and take brain breaks.
Learning to learn takes discipline. This video is about how to manage concentration and give your self the best opportunity to learn. Learning takes effort.
A wonderful live music performance celebrating music from around the world.
Thank you to Mrs Reincke for working with class 4 on their version of the Bayeux Tapestry linked to their work in history. What a fantastic experience for all of the children.
The children were set with the challenge to make a video to show how we can make a difference. It is the simple things in life that make the world better for everyone. This was made for our Harvest celebration. We used the song Do Something by Matthew West and used his video on YouTube as inspiration. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Talk 4 Writing is very successful in the early years. The children remember whole stories through actions and rhythm and this impacts their personal writing. This piece is a please to watch!
