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.

School Staff — Wed, 20 May 2026 16:07:43 +0000

Today is National Numeracy Day. To celebrate, children in Dosbarth Criccieth took part in an Escape Room. They worked in teams to see if they could solve the missions, which gave them a code. This code could then open a padlock that was holding the numeracy trophy! they had 45 minutes to try and complete the challenge, one team worked so well, they completed it with 16 minutes to spare! All children completed the challenges with 2 groups opening the padlock just after the set time.

They worked so well and loved the excitement! Well done to all the children!

The Year 5 and 6 pupils in Dosbarth Caerdydd have been working extremely hard over the last few weeks to research, design, create, test, edit and finalise their very own board games to support younger pupils in the school with their maths skills! And today they were very excited to share their games with pupils across the school.

The younger pupils were very impressed with the games and are delighted to be able to keep them in their classes to play with over the next few weeks.

Dosbarth Criccieth: Water Butts

School Staff — Tue, 12 May 2026 09:14:32 +0000

This week in our outdoor learning, we have made water butts from old plastic bottles. We have been looking at how we can make better choices, reducing our use of items, reusing things in a different way or recycling. We will take them home once they are complete and collect rain water to use for watering plants at home.
