Parklands children took part in a player interview on Wednesday 31st October with Northants cricketer Steven Crook. They asked him many questions, covering topics such as cricket, sports in general, school, personal information, healthy eating, reading and authors, training and cricket equipment. The most facinating conversation the children thought was what Steven called his cricket bats!

Children came up with some great open-ended questions and Steven was happy to chat to them and pose for photos, signing autographs on their finished work. It makes such as huge impact having a ‘real life cricketer/local hero’ at the Study Centre and the children remember it as part of the ‘wow’ factor of their study support sessions.

Afterwards, the pupils used their notes to construct player profiles on the apple mac laptops. They used digital photos, powerpoint, graphics and backgrounds to detail the questions and answers from the interview. They turned notes into creative and informative sentences.
