Ysgol Gellifor School

We had a very successful evening last night at a windy Denbigh High in the Urdd Athletics competiton.  Ieuan Roberts and Tom Weyman won their respective javelin events and Tom also came second in the long jump.  Emily won the long jump and Fallon was second in her age group.  Nia Vaughan finished second throwing the ball and L'Toni finished third in the 100 metres.  All the above children will go through to the North Wales event at Eirias Park on the 1^st July.  Many of the children are pictured below for with their certificates as recognition for their success.  You can also access a gallery of pictures from the event here.

Ysgol Gellifor was once again victorious last Friday, winning the Vale of Clwyd sports shield.  Both relay squads, Emily, Tom Weyman, Fallon, Ieuan and Oliver all won their respective events, with Georgia and Ben also finishing second.   Congratulations to all who represented the school.

We were extremely lucky with the weather this year and had a fantastic morning, with all the children giving their all for their respective houses.  There was a new name on the trophy this year with Famau victorious and the Year 6 Famau members are pictured right holding the Sports Day cup aloft.  The fastest infants were Megan and Dylan, the fastest Juniors, Frankie and Joe.  By clicking here, you will find plenty of pictures of the event.
