• St Mary’s CiW School, Overton

St Mary's pupils bathed under the canopy of the trees to connect with nature.

The whole school topic this term is based on the book, The Lost Words, a poetry book of 'spells' to conjure back the magic of nature that surrounds us.

It has provided the perfect opportunity for the children to get outdoors and be inspired by nature to produce their own poetry and artwork with an environmental theme.

Pupils in Years 1 and 2 bathed under the canopy of the trees to connect with nature and collect sounds to inspire their own poems linked to harvest, and their busy hands with all their collected ‘treasure’.

There are lots more exciting learning experiences planned across the school on this theme.

• Ysgol Bryn Alyn, Gwersyllt

Pupils from the Wrexham secondary school joined a service remembering the 1934 Gresford Disaster.

On Friday, September 22, pupils from Ysgol Bryn Alyn attended the Gresford Disaster Memorial Remembrance Service. This marked the 89th anniversary of the Gresford Disaster, when the local community was devastated after an explosion underground caused the death of 266 miners, leaving more than 200 widows and hundreds of children without a father.

On the night of the disaster, the mine was busier than usual as many men were 'doubling up' their shifts in order to either attend the carnival or watch Wrexham at home to Tranmere Rovers.

Headteacher Adele Slinn, and students Ori Andrews and Thomas Randles, attended the memorial service on behalf of the school and the community that it served. Thomas read the poem on behalf of the school and the community.

As the school embarks to deliver the new Curriculum for Wales, pupils worked on the significance of the disaster and the impact it had on the community. Pupils produced poetry and worked on the a news broadcast using digital technology, and it was the culmination of this work that created their poem.

As you can see from the poem, the students worked extremely well and produced such a moving piece.

COFIWCH: 1934

A shift started peacefully, no concerns in sight;

Safety issues galore, the owners wanting more.

Heading down the shaft with the dimming of any light;

Little did they know, there would be no more.

Remember, remember the 22nd of September 1934. Members of OUR community tragically killed. 266 to remember forever.

Remember. Cofiwch.

Their smiles were bright, hopes were high for a win;

Their beloved Wrexham football club they never then got to see.

2.08am: the most deafening din.

Light was seen no more as the mine walls caved in.

Remember, remember the 22nd of September 1934. Members of OUR community tragically killed. 266 to remember forever.

Remember. Cofiwch.

A desperate attempt to rescue, sadly all in vain.

Mothers and wives waking up to a devastating surprise.

The shock and heartache left our community in pain;

The harrowing impact of this event evident in our eyes.

Remember, remember the 22nd of September 1934. Members of OUR community tragically killed. 266 to remember forever.

Remember. Cofiwch.

Sympathy from the whole of the UK; a message from the King.

Respectful prayers offered for our loved ones now with the angels;

Comfort found in services where many bells did ring.

A quiet hush descended over our beautiful hills.

Remember, remember the 22nd of September 1934. Members of OUR community tragically killed. 266 to remember forever.

Remember. Cofiwch.

This disaster affected our community many years ago,

But the scar it's left behind will never ever go.

We should never take for granted the sacrifice they made,

And hold forever in our hearts what happened on that day.

Remember, remember the 22nd of September 1934. Members of OUR community tragically killed. 266 to remember forever.

Remember. Cofiwch.

Following a successful few weeks of settling in, the Wrexham high school is proud of the excellent work the new Year 7 have achieved.

The new starters have all been involved in the school's SWAN project, which forms the foundation of their transition programme, as recognised in their latest Estyn Inspection Report, March 2023 which stated: "Ysgol Rhiwabon is a caring and inclusive school, which strives to support its pupils to 'succeed with soul' and to develop both academically and personally. Staff are ambitious for all pupils to achieve their full potential and leave school prepared for the next steps in their lives.

"Transition arrangements to support pupils' wellbeing are a strength of the school. Staff help pupils settle in well by being welcoming and getting to know them quickly. For example, pupils undertake a two-week cross-curricular project at the start of Year 7, during which they are taught in their form groups. For much of Year 7, they have a separate play area at break and lunch times. These approaches help pupils to feel safe and to integrate successfully into their new school."

Paddy Bingham, assistant headteacher and the Lead for SWAN said: "I have been delighted by how well our new Year 7 students have settled into our school and in particular the manner in which they have excelled during the SWAN programme. It's been a real pleasure to be involved with them."
