New Head Boy and Girl

We've confirmed our new head boy and girl for this academic year. They will be supported by a deputy head girl and boy.

Our head boy will be Tom and his deputy will be Henry. Our head girl will be Darcey and she will be supported by Ellie Mae as her deputy. These four children are our key school ambassadors who will meet and greet all important visitors. They will introduce events here at school and represent us in learning events out of school.

An India Afternoon in Year 4

Year 4 celebrated the end of their project with an India afternoon. There was Bollywood Dancing, Indian Kite flying and a chance to try some Indian food. The children then shared their year's work with their parents.

Picnic Tedi Twt

Diolch i'r PTA! Thanks for organising the Picnic Tedi Twt for Nursery to Year 4. It started with 'Amser Story' led by Mrs Cullinan who read a Welsh story for us to perform. We practiced our thank you's when the PTA gave us 'losin, teisen a creision - Diolch!' After that Year 4 had prepared some Welsh stories with puppets to read to Year 2. Year 3 played 'un, dau, tri banana' with Year 1. Nursery and Reception joined in with Welsh nursery rhymes. Bendigedig!  

Fantastic Day for a Summer Fete

Thank you to everyone who supported us with our summer fete yesterday. The weather was great and we hope you all enjoyed your afternoon with us.

WORLD DANCE CUP SUCCESS FOR CROESTY CHILDREN

On Friday 22nd June two of Croesty Primary’s children flew to Sitges in Barcelona to represent Wales. There were 6000 dancers from 53 countries all in competition for The Dance World Cup. Lauren  and Summer  danced from Sarah Burnell School of Dance Pencoed and were absolutely outstanding! Along side them were a number of other former Croesty pupils.

Lauren was placed 4th (in the World!) for her tap dance solo. Lauren was placed 17th for her duet with Summer and 12th for her duet with Daisie. A dance with older children earned a 7th place position.

Our congratulations go out to everyone from the Sarah Burnell School of Dance - it's a really great community dance group and it's fantastic to see success  coming from all of the hard work that the dance pupils put in. Lauren and Summer are clearly dancers to watch out for in the future.
