Birch Dress up of the Queens’s Jubilee
We had such a great day seeing all of us dressed up or in colours of red, white and blue!
Afternoon tea for the Jubilee in Birch
Today we had a afternoon tea as part of our celebrations for the Queen’s Jubilee. We enjoyed our cupcakes that we decorated with red, white and blue with a miniature Union Jack! We have all dressed up in the colours of the flag as well as having crafts, a quiz and danced to a swing band! Such a fantastic day!
Our Royal Jubilee Celebrations (Birch)
Today in Birch everyone has thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Queen’s Royal Jubilee. We took part in activities from designing cakes, a quiz, a colouring competition, to making a Union Jack flag from recycled clothes and donating the rest of the clothes to Connect the clothing bank to compete in the competition to win funds for our school. We also took part in an online tutorial from the illustrator Steve Antony who wrote the book ” The Queen’s Hat”. Throughout the day lots and lots of party food was devoured and we finished off the day with a good old fashioned dance with a swing band.
The Queens Jubilee
Hazel class had an amazing day for the Queen’s Jubilee.
We learnt about Queen Elizabeth and why this year is so important.
We created a union jack using recycled materials, we designed our own Queen Elizabeths from different years and baked and decorated cakes.
Hazel class had a lovely tea party and enjoyed dressing up.
Our favourite thing about the day was the swing band.

Mr. Harrison.
Spring / Summer is here at Croft.
The Vocational group have been working extremely hard during the spring and summer term germinating seeds indoors, planting, creating raised / planting areas whilst preparing the soil before sowing the potatoes.
Hopefully, we will have some tasty crops growing soon.

Croft Community School Garden
Recently, we have had a relaunch of the Croft Garden where parents, carers, family and people from the local community came into school to help pupils work in the garden.
Secondary Vocational pupils helped with the relaunch by designing and creating 6 bird tables for the garden.
I would personally like to thank everyone that gave up time to come and support the pupils and share their expertise and knowledge with the pupils.

Raised Beds
Our Vocational pupils have been very busy!
They have measured, marked and cut the sleepers into position and bolted them together to make 3 raised beds.
In the images below, you will see the pupils preparing the beds ready for crops to be planted.
More to follow with exciting developments happening in Vocational.
