Members from the school had an amazing evening assisting Deeside Round Table and Santa on their journey around Saltney.

A highlight was seeing the sheer joy on children's faces as Santa passed by. The school praised members of the community that braved a wintery night to come out and say hello.

There was more festive vibes when art teacher Vickie Salamone and St David's pupils took on the cold and wind to be a part of the opening of the Winter Garden at St Mark's Church, Saltney.

Pupils had their artwork displayed in the gateway.

Youngsters in schools across Wrexham have got creative for a recent competition.

Earlier in the year more than 15 schools from across Wrexham entered the Eco-readymix silo design competition.

They received over 250 entries and narrowed them down to five winners.

Their creative designs have now been printed on dry mortar silos and delivered to building sites across North Wales and the North West.

The Wrexham-based concrete, mortar and screed suppliers also given a £200 donation to each pupil's school.

The first silo was delivered recently, and is now at Plas Coch at Edwards Homes new housing development.

Eco-readymix director Georgi Billington said: “By getting pupils involved at a young age, we hope to engage them in local building works and inspire them to one day pursue a career in construction.”

A rural school in Flintshire has a global perspective when considering climate change concerns due to a twinning arrangement with a school in Bangladesh.

The children's insight came to light during a visit to Ysgol Gymraeg Mornant, Picton, from Llyr Gruffydd, North Wales MS and chair of the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee in the Senedd.

Bethan Jones, headteacher at Ysgol Gymraeg Mornant, said the children had prepared questions for their representatives in the Senedd.

She said: "The children wrote letters to highlight their concerns about climate change, and to ask Senedd Members to represent their concerns at GOP 26.

"The children co-operate with a school in Bangladesh and learned from them about huge problems there due to flooding and climate change, and the fact that the rivers and watercourses are warming forcing aquatic life to move to colder water or simply dying out.

"They were keen to do their best to help them but were also worried about the other impacts of climate change that will affect us along the coast.

"It was good to hear about Llyr Gruffydd's experiences in COP26 and for the children to have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss how we could work together to improve the situation. I look forward to inviting him back to Ysgol Gymraeg Mornant in the future."

Mr Gruffydd said: "It was clear the children had done thorough research into all the related topics related to climate change.

"As well as the Bangladesh example, there were some children from a farming background.

"They were worried about the impact of raising animals on the climate and so it was good to be able to reassure them that Welsh agricultural produce can help reduce carbon emissions to our atmosphere.

"By focussing on quality and food miles, food produced on our doorstep rather than mass-produced burgers from across the world can help the economy as well as the climate.

"I must commend the teachers and the children for very thorough and original questions. It is also very good to see the school - which was under threat some years ago by the County Council - expanding and thriving. It was a pleasure to visit and receive such a warm welcome."
