On Wednesday 28th March 2018, the Crowlees Swimming Team attended the Spenborough Swimming Gala. Our team consisted of 6 children from Year 5 and 6, 3 girls and 3 boys. They were competing in breaststroke, front crawl and backstroke. The final race was the freestyle relay. Our team worked really hard and we were delighted that some of our team managed to progress to the finals of their races therefore receiving finisher’s medals.  Tegan received a well-fought silver medal in the girls’ breaststroke. Well done! We are very proud of the whole team, who displayed all the Crowlees Values whilst at the...

Another year, another fantastic performance from our dancers at Strictly Pennine. The group of Year 5 and 6 children have been rehearsing for months in order to be ready to perform on the stage at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield. After last minute rehearsals on Tuesday, the children were ready! However the weather was trying very hard to spoil our plans. Luckily, our show was able to go ahead without any problems. We were lucky to have our performance on the Tuesday as the Wednesday and Thursday shows were cancelled. Both dances, an Indian style dance to a song called Shakalaka Baby and a dance to a Thriller mash up, were fantastic! The children really rose to the occasion and enjoyed their time on stage. We are extremely proud of the dedication put in by the children, and parents, to learn the dances and perform. Miss Wright and Mrs Goldthorpe are already looking forward to next year! Well done!            ...

Fantastic team effort from the Year 5/6 athletics team On Thursday 18th January, the Year 5/6 athletics team attended the Spen Valley Sportshall Athletics competition at the Leeds Road sports barn.  Our team were very excited to be taking part and had all attended an extra training session in the previous week to prepare for the event.  We gathered lots of points in the field events with some outstanding jumping and throwing. The boys pulled back much needed points with fantastic results in the track events.  The girls fought hard in the track races, but the competition from the other schools was tough.  Overall, we finished in 3rd place.  We were a little disappointed as this means we don’t progress to the next round. However, we know that we have done really well to get this far!...
