Our LKS2 children had a fantastic time taking their learning outside the classroom during their fieldwork visit to Eden Camp!
The children put on their explorer hats and got stuck into discovering more about the past, using their observation skills to explore the site and learn about what life was like during wartime. It was a brilliant opportunity to bring our classroom learning to life and see history up close!
Throughout the visit, the children asked thoughtful questions, shared their ideas and worked together to make new discoveries. They were full of curiosity and enthusiasm, showing off their knowledge and learning lots of fascinating new facts along the way.
It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, making connections with their learning and enjoying a memorable day out with their classmates.
A huge well done to our LKS2 historians!
We are slightly delayed setting off. We are expecting to arrive back to Carcroft between 430pm and 445pm
apologies for any inconvenience
As part of their final project, Year 4 have been hard at work creating beautiful handmade poppies. If you would like to purchase one, they will be available in reception for a small donation after the upcoming holiday break.
Crew Colclough have blown us away with their independent writing this week! They’ve put their own brilliant spin on ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’ narrative, crafting some truly imaginative stories.
We are looking for courageous educators to join our Crew at XP Doncaster and guide transformative Learning Expeditions.
Help our students grow their character, create beautiful work, and achieve academic success.
During Caring Crew, we have looked at what we mean by ‘Teamwork’ by working in small groups to build a tower. Each member of the team had a different role, and we had to showcase good teamwork and communication skills to build a tower that matched the example on the board.
When we debriefed, we showed integrity by discussing how not all of our team members completed their jobs which meant that our towers weren’t fully completed.
This week, we have been learning about harvest and why we celebrate it. We activated our learning by looking at different pictures linked to harvest and discussed what we could see with our talk partners. After watching a short video clip about harvest, we created actions to help us remember that ‘harvest is a festival that celebrates crops’.
The children really enjoyed doing a bit of body percussion. They learned lots of different moves to each piece of music and then keeping it to the rhythm.
We are always looking for ways to show kindness to our peers, and Thea and Bowiee were a perfect example of how it is ‘Cool to be Kind – ALWAYS!’. Bowiee needed a little bit of help zipping her coat up, and without even hesitating, Thea stepped in to help Bowiee, and Bowiee thanked Thea for her help. What a fantastic act of kindness, and such beautiful manners. Well done Thea and Bowiee!
