Easter Fun
Today, we proudly showcased their wonderful Easter egg creations. We had a Creeper from Minecraft, a delicious looking burger and a fabulous Wicked creation! A big well done to everyone who took part in this joyful celebration of creativity – what an egg-cellent effort all round!
Times table relays
Crew Gray have been Getting Smart by working in small teams to complete our times table relays. This was fun and active way for us to continue consolidating our times table knowledge.
Ordering and comparing our height
Crew Gray have been working hard in Maths, we have been ordering and comparing decimals. To consolidate and tie all of our learning together, we were challenged to measure our heights and ordered these in ascending order.

Wow—what a fantastic job you’ve all done! 🎉 We are so proud of the brilliant non-chronological reports that have been published. You have truly shown what it means to be young researchers, writers, and creators.
🧠 What Made Your Reports So Great?
Your work included so many impressive features:
- Clear headings and subheadings to organise information
- Fascinating facts that taught your readers something new
- Topic-specific vocabulary
- Pictures, diagrams, or captions to help explain ideas
- A neat structure that made your reports easy and fun to read
📚 Becoming Real Authors
By publishing your reports, you’ve taken an exciting step—you are now published authors! That means other people can read, learn from, and enjoy your work. How amazing is that?
Writing like this helps build important skills:
- Researching information
- Organising ideas
- Writing clearly for a reader
- Taking pride in your work
These are the same skills that real journalists, scientists, and authors use every day!
You should feel incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. Writing a non-chronological report isn’t easy, but you’ve shown creativity, effort, and determination. Keep up the amazing work! ✨

This week I have been working on my non- chronological report. I have produced 2 pages full of writing including the Carcroft School logo and 4 paragraphs in different lengths. Firstly, I researched my subject. Secondly, I wrote. Thirdly, I edited my work improving and ensuring a perfect piece. Lastly, I published my work on to 2 different pieces of paper. Written by Tiarna.
