Crew Ramsay loved going under the tables and cosying down in the pillows to enjoy some reading with Year 5. As we get more and more familiar, we are really beginning to bond with our buddies and grow as little people. Crew goes beyond the year groups at Carcroft as we are learning in Year Two!
Crew Ramsay would like to acknowledge the kindness and generosity of the donators of our advent calendars. We have loved counting down the days to Christmas so far. We have learned to take turns, recognise numerals and share life’s little joys with our friends… what a beautiful way to be a crew! Thank you!
In Crew Ramsay, we have enjoyed independent writing which culminated in peer critique time today. We read our work loud and proud and received critique from a peer. We have already edited our work so didn’t make any changes to our actual work but we did think about our feedback and pledged to consider it going forward. Check us out using our actions and signs for our critique protocol: I praise, I notice, I suggest, I wonder. What a compassionate, courageous morning!
In Year Two Maths, we have been revisiting our Shape learning from Year One. Here we are guessing the shapes with our eyes closed based on their physical properties. We loved getting practical with the concrete resources today!
In p.e they were practicing their basket ball skills
I life skills the children really enjoyed making a cheese pizza. They had to make sure that they rolled out the dough with a rolling pin . They put flour on the table to make sure it didn’t stick.
In Year 4, we were given the opportunity to trial our final product. We then reviewed it and chose our favourite activity! We are super excited to share our final product with the school community.
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust!

This week, Crew White have been learning about Carcroft School’s new character traits: courage, integrity, compassion, quality and craftmanship and respect. These form the foundations of what it is to be a positive member of our crew and our school. We were especially proud of Crew White’s courage this week as they embraced new challenges, shared their ideas openly, and supported one another with real determination.
We looked at what it means to be courageous and role played some examples of behaviours that you might see in our crew.
Crew Robson have enjoyed testing out their final product this afternoon before we share it with Murton Park.
