Netball match v Shurdington

On Friday the 19^th of March Daisy, Eniola, Flo, Emily, Matilda, Layla, Mollie, Isabelle, Belle, Lily, Lucy, Lola and Kate, represented The Croft School in a netball match against Shurdington School. In our first quarter Matilda scored our first triumphant goal (in the first 10 seconds). From then on we knew we had a good shot at winning.

 The whole team co-operated well together. As a result of this, Shurdington scored 0 in the first quarter and Croft 6.In our 2^nd quarter Croft scored 1 and Shurdington 2.After our opposing team had scored more than us, we worked even harder to win. In our next quarter Croft scored 3 and Shurdington scored 1. In our final quarter 7 and Shurdington 4.

The final score was 16-4 to us.

We then played a second match which we won 5-4

VICTORY TO THE CROFT!!!

All of this would not have been possible without Miss Lawrence!!!

Year 5 and 6 built a Viking Longboat

Building A Viking Long ship

On the 18^th of March Year 5 and 6 built a Viking longship! It was a fun packed day with a variety of different activities such as: building and fastening the ship, weaving, sewing, decorating the figure heads and making authentic Viking shields! COOL! Each Viking shield was the same size as a real one so, to test our strength, we put our bodies to the test and tried a Viking work out. (Turns out none of class five are fit enough to be a Viking soldier.) Even though it is on a ¼ scale, the ship was big enough to hold 10 children! That’s a whole 6 metres!

A few weeks ago we also had a viking day full of fab workshops

SNOT the Dragon

SNOT the Dragon-Sir Nigel of Trelawney

On Friday March 13^th 2015(Red Nose Day), Colin Diamond came with Snot the Dragon to perform an amazing Comic Relief magic show. The funny show began with Colin attempting to make balloon animals, once he had finally created his masterpieces without fault; the dog and butterfly were fantastic. We were also having a whacky hair day and non-uniform. 

 After the balloon extravaganza, Colin brought out his pet dragon, Nigel or as he prefers to be called SNOT the dragon (Sir Nigel of Trelawney) Next, he did a jaw-dropping handkerchief magic trick. He showed us that the handkerchiefs weren’t linked, and then his dog Robbie (the puppet) ate all of them when Colin wasn’t looking. Spinning round the magic wand he had just been given, Robbie flew up into mid-air and Colin managed to pull him back down with great strength. As we said the magic words “smelly socks in custard!” the handkerchiefs reappeared in the glass. When Colin pulled the now linked handkerchiefs out of the glass everybody clapped in awe.

After that, he bought out Lorrie ( the purple bird puppet) together, they did a terrific trick using coloured ping-pong balls (each a different colour). Colin chose a volunteer to pick out a random ping-pong ball, this time the lucky pupil was Hannah Watkins. Lorrie and Colin were meant to try and guess what colour ping-pong ball Hannah picked. The first time they guessed it was correct
