Dosbarth Clwyd really put their scientific skills to the test today when they became sugar spies. 

They were looking at how much sugar is in every day drinks, snacks and cereals and comparing them against the daily recommendations. 

Perhaps the biggest eye opener for them was the amount of sugar in some of the drinks - with a popular smoothie aimed at children having more sugar in it than cola !

The children used and applied so many numeracy and communication skills and there was such an amazing learning buzz in the classroom.

The juniors in our school council met today to discuss the possibility of sponsoring a child in Kenya they will be going back to their classes to discuss this with the children. They also worked with local business woman and parent Mrs Heywood to think about ways to raise money. It was a very productive meeting.

We had a wonderful time at Deeside fire station with Years 1 and 2. The firefighters went out of their way to ensure that our children had an exciting morning. I think that the highlight for many of our pupils and staff was operating the hose ! The children as ever behaved brilliantly and asked some really interesting questions. A big thank you to Mrs Williams for planning the trip and of course to all at Deeside Fire station. Photographs are being added onto the gallery page of the website.

We have been busy snow clearing today so we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Please could children wear wellies if possible and bring in slippers to wear in school. Thank you 

Due to the prospect of continuing heavy snow fall we are partially closed.

If you are able to pick up your children early you can do so.

Please take care driving the side road into school is particularly slippery.

Last year it was a massive effort constructing the stage all ready for the Christmas show and moving furniture around - we were all ready for another morning of removals today, however,  our amazing caretaker Paul and his wonderful helper Stefan worked late into the night to make sure that it was all ready for us this morning - Diolch !

Congratulations to the football team who won against Ysgol Owen Jones today - both teams played exceptionally well.

Check out the activities over the Christmas Holidays at Mold Leisure Centre - click on the community tab in yellow on the left of the home page then click on local events.

We had an excellent afternoon playing football against Northop Hall, Ysgol Rhos Helyg and Ysgol Y Waen - hosted by Y Waen. There was some really impressive play by players from all of the teams and excellent sportsmanship. A big thank you to our parents and grandparents who transport the children and give great support to our team. We are looking forward to our next game against Drury.

The team looked incredibly smart in their kit sponsored by Eaware.

Saturday 11th November saw our community come together for a memorial service at school to honour the fallen soldiers from our village.

Our pupils read beautifully and Viv Williams from Flintshire War Memorials read out letters from William Hodgkinson to and from his family - it was incredibly poignant. Vicar Richard led the service and Northop Brass Band were outstanding - it was wonderful to see so many young people in the band. A big thank you to all from our community who came to the evening and to Mrs Barry for organising the pupil presentations.
