Our chalk pastel pictures are out of this world!

Class 4 have been mastering the technique of drawing using soft, chalk pastels.  They have learnt to blend the colours and smudge them to create different effects.  

Can you see how they have even managed to create a 3D effect by changing the density and shade of the colours?

Countryside Classroom Day at Lowther Castle

Class 3 had a fantastic day learning about rural life and the wildlife around us in the grounds of Lowther Castle. We got hands-on in six sessions, each run by a different local expert. We learnt about conservation, deer, preventing crime, insects, camouflage and oak trees!

Flower Themed Clay Bowls

After studying and sketching flowers in the school grounds and at Strickley Farm, the children created their own designs. Some chose to create realistic flower designs whilst others chose to be more imaginative.  They had to think about the size and shaping of the bowls, as well as the colours and impressions into the clay.   

Sports Day is a little different at Crosscrake School

Personel bests are the theme of the day! Throughout our pupils' school life, we encourage them to do their best and persevere to improve in their learning, so we thought points should be awarded not only for excellence but also for beating PBs. Class 3 & 4 work hard during PE lessons to improve their techniques and learn from evaluatating each others performances.  Every child has the opportunity to win points and contribute to their teams achievement on the day, not just those who excel at sport. It astounds us each year, just how many PBs get beaten.  It's amazing what the cheers from the crowds can do!

Class 3's Trip to Levens Hall

The children had a wonderful time learning about the history and the management of this world-famous garden.  The staff were so welcoming and knowledgable! Thank you.

We took some large pieces of card and wax crayons to draw the sculptural topairy.  It was lovely to hear the praise the children received from the public.

We had to think about what we needed to keep the same and what were the variables.
