After we had our lunch on the beach before playing in the very cold sea. We all got very wet!
Look in the gallery for more of our trip.
Who are those children?! We all looked fantastic in our glamorous dresses and smart suits.
It didn't take us long to settle into party mode.
During the Award Ceremony we each got a special mention for an individual characteristic and we received a lovely gift (thank you to Mrs Dance from Crookhill News for organising these).
Then all of us, including the teachers, had a really good dance. The conga around the Golf Club was fantastic! A big thank you to Mr Bennett, one of our parent Governors, for DJ-ing for us. 
Our behaviour was fantastic and we all had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the parents and staff that made this such a memorable night that we will remember for a long, long time.
Ahoy there !
The pirates were treated to a dance. The good ship 'Crookhill' is sailing around the 7 seas this Summer but, it will back in anchor for the start of our new term in September.
On Wednesday, Year 2 children joined Class 3 on a trip to Saltwell Park with Mrs Bainbridge and Miss Dryden. We enjoyed stories in French and English!
Luckily the rain stayed off and the sun even managed to make an appearance.
We enjoyed our picnic a safe distance away from the geese!
Everyone enjoyed the park, the children and staff!
It was a great day and the children were very well behaved. Great times!

A journey down The Tees.
Locomotion Number 1.
We are all having a good time.
Going on the slide was brilliant.
The Adventure Playground was a big hit.
Looking for frogs, toads and newts.

We are examing WW2 artefacts and deciding who would have used them.
Some artefacts were very puzzling. These items belonged to the ARP, whose job it was to put out fires.
Everyone was soon learning more about living during WW2. The centre is a very exciting place to visit.
These were stylish glasses during the war years. Wow! Do you think they will be 'cool' in the future?
The Pirate Captain's Table arrives next week. Shiver me timbers! Will YOU get an invite? Remember all the dinner staff are looking for good table manners.

Here we are at the Metro Centre Bowling Alley. Who is going to get a strike?
At the bowling alley I got my ball and I tried to get a strike.
I was going to get a strike and I did . Yippppppppppeeeeeeeeeee!
I knocked down 9 pins.
My best score was 8 pins down. I was happy.
I got a 6 pins down. Yessssssssssssssssssss!
Our last photograph together because CAB is closing.
After the dodgems we went to Macdonalds for an ice cream.
We had a great time.
I had my McFlurry and I enjoyed myself.
Mrs Wannop enjoyed herself, especially the dodgem cars. Everyone was bumping each other and having a laugh.

WOW! Our children have been very busy since the world cup kicked off! We have been creating this giant scarf to send to the Prime Minister. Each stripe has our signature on, that's 158 signatures!!!!! I think you'll agree it is the longest scarf you've seen!
This scarf is a reminder to all the world leaders of their promise to have education for all children by 2015. One pretty big reminder from Crookhill !
Wow! Most of Class 3 turned out to the Ryton Festival to showcase their African songs that they have been learning and practising with Mrs Kirkland. It was a lovely afternoon, they looked very professional on the stage and sounded fantastic!
They were so good that the BBC filmed their singing and they were on the news tonight!
Well done Class 3 and thank you to Mrs Kirkland for all the practising! You have a VERY proud teacher :)

First we went to Peter Barratt's to pick 'Cabby' the Koi Carp. We picked a fish in Crookhill colours.
Here is Cabby!
When we got to Shasun we had our picnic. It began to rain.
We put Cabby in the lagoon.
We put some coins in the Wishing Well and made a wish.
The swans went in the lagoon.
The beautiful birds of prey. We stroked the owl, it felt soft. They were nice.
This is a rare flower called a Bee Orchid.
We took some bags home. It was a wild child bag. It had sweets, activity book, booklets, colouring in books and stickers.
