Year 4 Sports Hall Athletics

The Year 4 team was small but brilliant at the Sports Hall Athletics competition on Tuesday. As there were only 5 of them, they had to help each other out and do a LOT of running! They really enjoyed the events and we saw some incredibly fast running from all five of them.

Thank you Kitty, Josh, Oliver, Finn and Will!

Year 6 Football Tournament 12.11.19

Posted on November 14, 2019

The Year 6 football team took part in a 7-a-side tournament at St John Fisher High School. They played 5 matches in total. Each match lasted 10 minutes. At the end of the tournament, Crowlees has won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1. Unfortunately for us, St Mary’s Batley had also finished on 10 points, however they had scored more goals overall which meant they were the winners. Despite the disappointing result, the boys enjoyed the tournament and played some super football. I was impressed with the speed, teamwork and resilience shown by the boys. Well done!

And fantastic results they were…

Spen Valley Swimming Gala 2019

Spen Valley Swimming Gala 2019

What a team!

On Wednesday 27^th 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 4^th 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.
