P2 have had an amazing day supporting Comic Relief! We have worked as a team to complete the challenges Miss Herkes had set us. We’ve danced, hunted for hidden treasure and conquered mountains, climbing to victory. They even managed to save me from a fall.
P5 were explorers for the day. We were inspired by the South Pole explorers Ernest Shackleton and Lou Rudd. We wrote letters to Lou Rudd and have our fingers crossed that he replies.
On a chilly morning, we followed instructions to put up a tent-this was much trickier than we thought! We then wrote instructions for others to follow. Once the tent was up, we all went inside where it was very cosy. After all of this hard work, we had a tasty freeze dried meal of Spaghetti Carbonara which we ate with sporks. We felt like real explorers-such fun!
P5 had great fun in Geography learning all about the water cycle. We enjoyed learning not only how the water cycle works, but we also learnt a water cycle song. We then made our own water cycle bags. We used blue water to represent the sea and we placed the water cycle bags in a sunny place and we waited patiently…
The next day, the water cycle had started and some of the sea had evaporated and condensed-we were amazed!!
Our very own water cycles in P5!
Our girls football team attended Walker Dome Activity Centre on Wednesday. Newcastle United run a league every year and Croft enter 2 teams. We are currently top of the league with another school close behind!! We didn’t lose a single game on Wednesday and our girls made Croft very proud indeed, representing the school with maturity and outstanding behaviour. Well done girls!! Let’s try and win another trophy!!
P3 enjoyed investigating how different ingredients would react together.
We worked on conducting scientific investigations, asking scientific questions and making predictions on what might happen.
Fizzing experiment
One pupil said “It turned very weird and fizzing.”
Another pupil said “It was cool.”
Cornflour experiment
Balloon and yeast experiment
One pupil said “It grows bigger.”
Another pupil said “I thought the balloon would explode.”
Yeast experiment
One pupil predicted “it would change colour.”
Another pupil said “it got bigger.”
Great work P3!
What an exciting time we all had celebrating World Book Day. We loved getting dressed up and sharing our favourite books. We discussed our favourite book characters and enjoyed sharing stories with our parents and carers. We went to a book swap where we exchanged books with each other. We had such a fun day!
In Art, P5 looked carefully at the linear patterns of natural objects. We studied wood, feathers, onions and shells. The patterns were fascinating and we used our pencil skills to draw what we could see, we were really happy with the results.

P10 have been focusing on some rights that some children aren’t able to engage in and enjoy this week in RRS. Pupils have been researching comic relief and the work that they do to support children’s rights around the world.
