Criccieth: Making boats

School Staff — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 08:53:59 +0000

This week we worked in teams to design a boat, make a boat and test our boats. We had to include space for cargo to go on the boat. We then added cubes to the boat to see how much cargo it could carry. Several boats were successful and managed to hold up to 50 cubes!! Bendigedig pawb!

School Staff — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 19:56:33 +0000

We had a fantastic day at BeWILDerwood! The children were an absolute credit to our school, showing excellent behaviour, kindness and enthusiasm throughout the day.

We certainly climbed our hearts out, explored, laughed and challenged ourselves on all the amazing play structures. It was a day full of adventure, teamwork and lots of happy memories.

Well done, everyone – we are so proud of you!

Castell Conwy: making a storm

School Staff — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:23:41 +0000

Today we have been making a storm! We have been making a storm in a jar, and the children learnt how rain formed. They have been making a lighthouse to withstand a storm. They have been making wind and experimenting with different materials to see which travels the furthest.

Dosbarth Criccieth: Float or sink?

School Staff — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:54:08 +0000

Today we went into Forest School to help the Chief Water Engineer. He had a problem with different boats sinking, so we investigated which items sank and which floated. We also had a try at making something that would float using a sheet of tin foil. We made predictions, tested the materials and then discussed our findings. We look forward to finding out some more.

Dosbarth Criccieth: Water Engineers

School Staff — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 14:59:09 +0000

This week we started our new topic: Salish, Splash, Splosh! The Great Aqueduct Challenge!

Children walked into class where they found a number of items and a letter asking them to train as Water Engineers. We looked through the items and discussed what we could be learning about. We read the letter and accepted out engineer badges. This week we have then looked at the aqueduct and how it works as well as Thomas Telford, the engineer who designed it.

Dosbarth Criccieth: Planet Protectors

School Staff — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 14:54:53 +0000

This week we brought our Planet Protectors topic to a close. Throughout the project, the children have taken part in mini missions both at home and at school, recording their efforts in their Planet Protector passports.

We were very proud to see that every child took part, with each completing at least three missions—and one even managed all twelve! The children were delighted to receive their certificates to celebrate their efforts.

We hope they will continue to build on these habits and keep looking after our planet.
