More Easter excitement for the children at Kettlewell. Thank you Friends of Kettlewell School for your kind donations!

A ‘cracking’ day for us all! 🐣🐥

The children have had an amazing day of Easter fun. From a fabulous parade of Easter bonnets to our annual egg rolling event and Easter egg hunt. Well done to Dylan who was our Champion of Champion Egg roller this year and a big Thank you to Mr and Mrs Williams who had the extremely…

The egg hunt was a huge success! The Cracoe Easter Bunny has been very busy indeed! 🐇 Here is a photo that sums up the whole day…all smiles! Keep posted for more pictures 😁

Yesterday, we had a wonderful afternoon decorating our eggs for Kettlewell egg rolling competition 😁. The sunshine came out for us too 🌞. Lots of fun was had by all! Well done James for being our egg rolling champion for 2021 🏆

WE CAN’T WAIT FOR THE EGG HUNT!!! 😃🐥🐣

…Easter garden day 3. After a long wait, our Easter gardens are complete! Look at the fantastic results 😁

…Easter garden day 2. The children were so engrossed making their gardens this morning and were putting in so much effort that they didn’t quite finish them. Come back tomorrow to see photos of the final magnificent Easter gardens…

Our minute of silence. 🌈 23/3/21 ❤️

Easter Themed Maths! We’re counting our eggs and revealing the hidden chicks! 🐥🐣🐤

The best action-shot of the week! 😀🏃‍♂️

The children had a fantastic morning planting our new hedgerow in our school field and are looking forward to watching it grow. A big thank you to all who where involved 🌱🌳

We had a special open air assembly this morning to say a huge ‘Thank you and Goodbye’ to Robert Stockdale who after 16 years of service has recently stepped down from his role as our school governor.

This morning, the children worked together to collect items from around our woodland for their Easter garden. We will spending tomorrow building our gardens. Come back tomorrow to see what the children have developed…

Our ‘Tree Planting Day’ was magical! Each of our individual trees will grow with us! 🌳🌱 ‘There are two gifts we should give our children; one is roots, and the other is wings.’

Oh we’ve all had such a chuckle this morning – having lots of fun in aid of Comic Relief! 😁😆 We love ‘sharing our smiles’ at Cracoe Primary School! Comic Relief: Red Nose Day

Class 1 have been busy sprucing up their outdoor area with some planting. They helped dig out the old weeds, replant new herbs that Georgia was very excited to use in some cooking and they each planted their own sun flower. We can’t wait to see all of the beautiful colours!🌻

Today was an exciting day in Class 1! After the children wrote a letter to Mrs Besharati and Mrs Boxall explaining why they needed the binoculars, an order was placed for 6 brand new pairs. Today was the day they arrived…

Our new binoculars have been very busy today spotting all sorts of wonderful birds! The most popular have been the robin and the great tit.

Non uniform day tomorrow in aid of comic relief!

What an amazing day EVERYONE at Cracoe Rylstone Primary had today! We all planted our very own sapling which we are going to nurture and learn about! Thanks to Niki Child for all her amazing help.

Another wonderful afternoon in sunny Kettlewell 🌞. The children showed their resilience and superb teamwork whilst building dens 🏕. It was heart-warming to see the children working so well together. The quote of the afternoon came from Connie, when she said, ”This is epic!” It certainly was 😁!

If anyone sees or has a waterbutt going spare, please could class 1 take it off your hands?! Lots of lovely water play going on at the minute and would love to extend their learning. Thank you!

To enjoy the wonderful weather this afternoon, Class 1 were looking for signs of spring in our superb woodland🌷. Whilst they were scavenging, Class 2 were getting out of breath doing their running mile around the field. There were some very red faces 🥵 😎.

Showing children how writing progresses is SO important! We know that early writing isn’t just ‘scribbles on a page’ and that it’s all part of the process! Today our Reception children looked at examples of their writing from September to now. There were lots of proud faces!

This Friday, 19th March, it’s Red Nose Day! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO SO… wear anything red! Either all red, or something red as part of your school uniform and bring in £1.00 to help support Comic Relief.

Using ’The Ickabog’ by J K Rowling as their inspiration, our KS2 children faced their fears this afternoon and created some fabulous gruesome looking monsters.
