Date: 1st Dec 2014 @ 3:29pm
On Friday 28th November the we had a visit from the Welsh Birds of Prey Centre. There were seven magnificent birds exhibited for us, including hawks, falcons and owls. We learned about their natural habitat, hunting skills, diet, weight and wing spans. The birds were very well behaved and some of us were able to handle the birds wearing a special falconary glove.

A good time was enjoyed by all at our Annual Sports Day. Having cancelled the previous two dates due to rain, it was a case of third time lucky and we were able to complete the events just in time before the rain came again! All of the children competed with enthusiasm and displayed excellent sportsmanship.
Well done to you all!
Crowton Garden Fete and Opening of Butterfly Garden
Date: 15th Jul 2014 @ 12:39pm
Once again the Crowton Garden Fete proved to be a huge success , enjoyed by everyone who attended. The rain kept at bay and the sun shone brightly as the Revd. Gill Stanning was invited to officially open the fete. Everyone gathered to see the retiring Rose Queen and her retinue complete their final duties and our new Rose Queen , Chloe Wakeford, accompanied by her young Attendants was ceremoniously crowned. The Rose Queen is traditionally the oldest and longest serving girl at Crowton School and her attendants are the youngest girls and boys in the school.
As is customary at the Fete The children of Crowton Primary School entertained the crowds with their medley of 'Songs from the Films'. The audience sang and clapped along as the children each took their turn to perform in the arena. And, to the delight of everyone, there were few surprise performances from the staff who appeared dressed as Chewbacca (Star Wars), the Seven Dwarves, Captain Hook and the Wicked Witch of the West!
Fun was had by all at the various stalls and activities taking place on the school field throughout the afternoon.
The fete this year was preceded by a special school and community event- the grand opening of the Butterfly Garden. The garden, a newly refurbished play area for the children, has been a project close to the hearts of the governors, staff and children of Crowton Primary School. It was inspired by, and is dedicated to a pupil of our school, Skye Higgins, who very sadly lost her fight against leukaemia last year, aged 5 years old . To mark the opening, the children of the school each released a balloon in her memory.

On 22nd May Class 1 and Class 2 visited the Blue Planet at Chester. A very exciting time was had by all. We encountered a starfish and saw loads of amazing sights. We had lots of fun learning new things and discussing what we had learned. The tunnel was amazing.

The whole school enjoyed a Design and Technology day on Monday 13th January. Mr Barber, a specialist D.T. teacher, came to school and provided workshops for all the children. The children made various objects using balsa wood and other materials to develop their skills and knowledge in design, structures and mechanisms. Their finished products were creative and fun.

The children in Class 2 had a great time making smoothies as part of their Literacy work on writing instructions. The children were given the task of designing their smoothie, listing the required ingredients and writing clear instructions on how to make it. They were delicious!
