• Ysgol Penygelli, Coedpoeth

Engineering and construction 'Have a Go Day' at Coleg Cambria for girls from Ysgol Penygelli.

Year 5 and 6 girls from the Wrexham school spent the day at Coleg Cambria on an engineering and construction 'Have a Go Day'.

The day was specifically aimed at encouraging girls into careers which are mainly seen as jobs for boys.

They got to take part in workshops, such as painting and decorating, working as an electrician, welding and plastering amongst others. They had a great time and learned a great deal.

• Ysgol Ty Ffynnon, Deeside

Storytime for Ysgol Ty Ffynnon pupils at Connah's Quay Library.

Reception aged pupils from Dosbarth Draenog went on a visit to Connah's Quay Library, where they had the opportunity to listen to a story read by the librarian.

They were also able to complete superhero colouring sheets and had a great time making different models using Lego.

All of this is to encourage children from an early age to register for the Library Service and to encourage them to visit the library more and help them share stories with their families. They all had a fantastic time and looking forward to visiting again.

• Borras Park Primary School, Wrexham

CodeFest at Borras Park Primary School.

Last month the school hosted their annual CodeFest, a whole school coding festival.

The week was packed with activities led by digital learning coordinator Lisa Jones and the Digital Leaders' team.

Children researched computing pioneers including Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Alan Turing, and turned their findings into web pages.

They created a Minecraft Pop-Up area and pupils were set a one-hour challenge to build a treehouse that hopefully someday may appear in the forest school area. Technocamps was also on hand for the week, delivering workshops across the school on Scratch.

Throughout the week there was a focus on the balance of screen time. Not all coding needs to be done with a device, for example, the Digital Leaders' team went into classes to teach children about binary language and made coding bracelets as an unplugged task.

Since the completion of the new school building, this is the first year where all the children of Borras are finally under one roof.

Miss Jones said: "What was really lovely to see was different year groups working across phases to support one another, and the children loved the opportunity to work with their siblings.

"We also created a whole school giant art attack using the Sphero coding toys, which will be displayed in the school. Our school dog Rodney wasn't quite sure what to make of the Spheros!

"Coding is now a large part of the new curriculum in Wales. There is no escaping the ever changing digital age and preparing our young learners for it is paramount. Coding is a fantastic hobby to have; it develops children's skills in communication, problem solving, resilience and creativity; all essential skills employers are looking for in the future.

"We have an incredible team of Digital Leaders; their ideas and enthusiasm continue to amaze me."

In addition to the coding events, the team used their CAD skills to design and make badges to raise money for digital resources; making an amazing £300!

The school is already planning next year's CodeFest, and looking forward to working with the BBC and Digital Communities Wales in the autumn term.

The Flintshire team had an opportunity to tour the stadium and play on the newly installed gridiron, which is situated under the football pitch which can be rolled out.

Year 5/6 teacher and the team's head coach, Stefan Salvoni, said: "I am so proud of the children, they had a fabulous time and put everything they had into training and the games. They have developed so many new skills playing NFL Flag and had the opportunity of a lifetime to visit London and play in such an iconic stadium.

"The NFL Flag Championships were a fantastic experience for the children, it afforded them the opportunity to learn new skills in a sport they have never played before.

"I would like to thank the NFL for providing an amazing experience but also the staff at Ysgol Gwynedd and all the parents of Flint for the amazing support they have given us over the last few months and during the trip, without which we couldn't have taken part.

"For many of the children they have never been to London before, so the experience of travelling down on train, taking a tube and staying over was also a huge opportunity for them to develop new life skills."

The team was sponsored by Kingspan this year and were able to buy gloves and equipment to help them in training.

Luke Betts one of the team players said: "It was such a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it was an amazing experience I couldn't believe how big and modern the stadium was and meeting the players was a massive highlight, I will never forget it."

The team consisted of quarterback Jacob Collins, runningbacks Max Jones, Lyle Jones and Georgie Harmes, wide receivers Anna Reevell, Luke Betts, Alex D and defenders Joshua Lloyd, Isabella Hughes, and Noah Sears.

• Ysgol Min y Ddol, Cefn Mawr

Dosbarth Draenog pupils at Ysgol Min y Ddol, organised community and school events.

The Wrexham school's Year 3 and 4 class, Dosbarth Draenog, have worked hard as entrepreneurs this term.

They have successfully used a small budget to hold a coffee morning for parents and the community, and a whole school party that pupils had to pay a £1 entry fee to attend.

Having further developed their money skills, they have clearly grasped the idea of cleverly advertising their events, as each was very busy.

One member of the community praised the coffee morning saying: "The children are a delight. They are polite and are using their Welsh to help us with ours. Thank you."

While another, recently new member of the community, added: "I now understand what they mean on the X Factor when they say wow. This school has the wow factor, or should I say, X Factor. It's wonderful."

The children played games with the visitors, took their orders and served their requests, all the while with their chosen play list of Welsh songs playing in the background.

The afternoon whole school party was also a hit with pupils saying "I am having so much fun", "This is the best party ever!".

The pupils in Dosbarth Draenog approached local business, Happy Hire, to get a quote on an inflatable bouncy castle for the afternoon and, hearing the children and understanding their request, kindly donated the castle, free of charge, for the occasion.

The children have successfully managed to make a profit of £217.89, which they can use as they wish - it is theirs after all! Not only has the event generated a profit, it has also promoted the Welsh language within the locality and strengthened the already established bond between Ysgol Min y Ddol and its community.

• St Anne's School, Caia Park

Members of St Anne's School Eco Council with the Green Flag.

The school is very proud to have received their second Eco-Schools Green Flag.

Being externally accredited by Keep Wales Tidy's education team means they have met the international standard required to fly the flag.

This is a symbol to show the wider community and visitors that they are effectively operating the Eco-Schools programme and have made a sustained pupil-lead improvement to the environment.

The school Eco Council thank the whole school for their hard work and dedication in making the school a greener, more eco friendly environment.
