Spen Valley Swimming Gala 2019 What a team! On Wednesday 27th March 2019, the Crowlees Swimming Team attended the Spen Valley Schools Swimming Gala. Our team consisted of 6 children from Years 4 and 6, 3 girls and 3 boys. They were competing in breaststroke, front crawl and backstroke. The final race for each team was the freestyle relay. Our team worked incredibly hard and we were delighted that EVERY member of our team managed to progress to the finals of their races. As the evening progressed, we were even more proud to see Poppy win gold in the girls’ breaststroke, Oliver win 4th in the boys’ breaststroke, Eleanor win silver in the girls’ backstroke, Dylan win gold in the boys’ backstroke, Veronica win bronze in the girls’ front crawl, and finally, Edward win silver in the boys’ front crawl! Already over the moon with our results, both the teams went on to smash their heats for the relays, and then comfortably win their relay finals! What a night! We were exhausted just watching and cheering, so I can only imagine how tired the team must have been! At the end of the gala, we were delighted to receive the ‘Girls’ Team’ award and the ‘Boys’ Team’ award, as well as the ‘Overall Team’ trophy! We are so very proud of the whole team, who not only swam like champions but displayed all the Crowlees Values whilst competing....

Pennine Sports Sports Hall Athletics Final – January 2019   Having won the Mirfield round, the Crowlees athletics team were invited to take part in the Pennine Sports Final at the end of January. Mr Goodall very kindly offered to run some extra training sessions to help us prepare for the event as we knew the competition would be tough. When we arrived, we were surprised to see how busy the event was and that we would be competing against 15 other schools. We really enjoyed the event and we had some excellent performance, although the competition in our heat was particularly challenging. Overall, we finished in 7th place. We were extremely proud of our efforts! Well done, Year 5 and...

Strictly Mirfield 2019 – Tuesday 5th February Our team of Year 5 and 6 dancers performed for the first time this year at Battyeford Primary School. They have been working hard for months rehearsing a dance to a mix of songs from the ‘Trolls’ film. This evening, they had 2 performances: one for the other children and one for the adults who had come to support them. Both shows were absolutely fantastic and we can’t wait to see them perform on the even bugger stage at the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield at the end of February! Well...
