Children Today, Citizens Tomorrow

See what fun we have in Early Years!

As part of the forest school training Miss Brown and Mrs Murray have had to prepare and cook a meal on the campfire for the staff of Crookhill. The requirements were, we could cook what we liked but there had to be 3 courses involved.

Our menu...

Starter

Chappati and dips

Main

Vege kebabs and toasties

Dessert

Bananas stuffed with sugar and chocolate

and

Toasted marshmallow sandwiches.

We also had to train the staff how to use a Bow saw and a bill hook. Mrs Bainbridge was very adventurous and used her new skills to make a mallet.

Take a look in the gallery at the rest of our snaps.  

It's almost the end of the school year. Can you believe it? Over the past few weeks we have invited parents of new Reception children into school to support them with this new phase of their child's life.

Parents have been invited into school to talk about any concerns, worries, thoughts they may have about school and to make some things for their child to bring to school on their transition days.

The first thing we made was a 'thought bag'. The idea of the thought bag is for children to talk about any worries they have about starting school. I think it is fair to say that the parents really enjoyed making the bags out of our fabulous Crookhill T - towels.

The second session was about sharing the interests of our children. Miss Brown has learned lots about the children's favourite foods, toys, songs and games. We made boxes for our children for them to put in their favourite things.

We would like to say a big thank you to all the parents who attended. See you next Monday for the final meeting.
