Girls’ Football Team

This year marks the first year that we have had a girls' football team, but this is not slowing them down. The team are already Active Wrexham Champions and will be representing Wrexham County in May in a competition in Newport. They have continued to add to their trophy cabinet by winning the Flintshire and Wrexham Urdd tournament and in May will be representing these counties in Aberystwyth.

New Pitch and Goals

On the 21st April, we will officially open our new football pitch and goals. This will be marked with a game for pupils who have represented the school this year in football tournaments. The former Wrexham Football Club captain, Robbie Evans, will be our referee for this exciting day, with former Wrexham players and representatives from Wrexham Football Club women’s team attending.

Eisteddfod

The children have been busy taking part in Eisteddfod competitions. They created amazing artwork, perfect photographs and beautiful bakes, to name just a few competitions they could enter. On each day, the children celebrated in the hall and took part in staged competitions, such as dancing, poetry recitals and Welsh recitations.

On the final day, the winning pupil was announced and presented with the Eisteddfod Chair, whilst the winning House was named as Dyfrdwy who accepted the Eisteddfod Cup.

Dino Discovery

Jurassic Live Wrexham visited school this term to help our Nursery and Reception children learn all about different dinosaurs. The children completed this project by creating a Dinosaur Museum to share their learning with their parents and carers. The museum showcased fossil formations, 2D shaped dinosaur creations, dinosaur fact files, and even dinosaur poo, to name but a few exhibitions on offer. The children were excellent museum tour guides sharing their knowledge. It was rawrsome!

100-Year Centenary

This year marks 100 years since the opening of our school. We will mark the day on the 18th April, with further celebrations taking place before the summer holidays in July. If you have any past links with the school and would like to be involved with these celebrations, please contact the school.
