P2b 25-26

The children were really looking forward to Sports Day and, luck was on our side with the weather too! They had such a wonderful time and we were delighted to see so many family members there to support them, thank you 🙂

Each primary stage decorated a baton to carry during our Commonwealth relay. Due to poor weather we had to carry this out indoors, however this did not stop the whole school having a great time relaying these around the school. The children really enjoyed cheering them on as they came past us.

We are so lucky to have a number of fantastic sports instructors who come to Crookfur to encourage the children to explore new experiences in Sport. Terry Connell has a wonderful rapport with our pupils and everyone in P2B had so much fun practising some karate.

We have had a terrific time this week participating in all of the planned activities and we’re lucky to escape the rain during our Sports Day! Whilst we were waiting for our karate taster session, we had great fun doing a warm up with the Judo instructors.

As part of the development of Language skills in P2, we have given the children the opportunity to create and deliver a presentation on the subject of their favourite hobbies or extra curricular activities.

It has been a pleasure to see them all shine as individuals and build the confidence to speak to an audience of their peers and receive positive feedback and encouragement from each other.

 

At Crookfur we love to embrace and celebrate everyone’s beliefs and cultures. And we were very excited to experience Crookfur’s 1st Eid Mela event to mark this year’s Eid.

We designed our own mosques and used construction materials and clay to make these. Some of the children chose to share how they celebrated Eid with worship, traditions and being with their families.

P2 had a fantastic time visiting the Museum of Rural Life and were delighted to meet the newborn lambs and calves at the farm. We met one of the farm cats called Sweep and Maggie the farmer told us that over 200 lambs were due to be born!
There was a super interactive workshop on the journey of food and lots of interesting farming history and artefacts to look at. And of course there was the very important tractor ride too!

We love to explore the world of books and storytelling in P2b and today was full of sharing our imaginations and creativity. The ‘Story in a box/jar’ competition entries were fantastic and the children had a very sociable and fun time together looking at these together in class and taking part in the school book swap.

Our ‘Snap a story’ scene was the popular book, ‘The Tiger Who Came To Tea’ and we re-created our own tea with a tiger to celebrate this.

Thank you to the lovely people who sent in fantastic resources from home to use in our ‘Under the Sea’ topic, it has been much appreciated!

We loved finding out more about what seashells are made of and distinguishing different types using our magnifying glasses and matching these to our description charts.

This inspired us to paint our own vibrant seashells to add to our wall display.
