Going into the woods…
Today, Crew Godley began to bring their ideas from Where’s My Teddy? to life through our own narrative writing. We used our experience from the teddy hunt to help us imagine what it would be like to search for something special that had been lost.
We worked on writing our first plot point, thinking carefully about what happened first, next and finally. We focused on using capital letters and full stops correctly and added interesting adjectives to describe the characters and settings in our stories.
The children produced some beautiful work!
1st October Fun Day
To celebrate an absolutely amazing start to the school year, we have decided to have a little bit of fun on Thursday 1st October.
Children are invited to come to school in their brightest outfits with wacky hair!
The afternoon, will be an afternoon of fun and games!
At lunchtime, Relish have organised a party packed lunch for us to enjoy. All children who have a school dinner on that day will receive a raffle ticket, entering them into a prize draw with prizes to be won!
Handwriting
So proud of these 2 boys handwriting. They have tried so hard since coming back to school after the holidays and their hard work as paid off. Just look at their handwriting from before and now
Where’s my Teddy Bear ?
Today, Crew Godley were introduced to our new writing unit, inspired by the story Where’s My Teddy? by Jez Alborough. We explored how it might feel to lose something special and thought carefully about the different emotions Eddy experiences throughout the story.
We then headed outside into XP Outdoors for our very own teddy hunt! We worked together to search different areas, following clues and using our teamwork skills to help us find the missing teddy. Along the way, we discussed how we felt during our search and imagined how Eddy might have felt as he searched for his teddy in the woods.
This experience helped us to build our understanding of the story, develop our vocabulary around feelings and emotions, and gather ideas that we can use in our writing over the next week
We’re looking for a Teacher at Carcroft School!
💛 A Simple Message of Thanks
Local businesses are an important part of our community. They bring people together, provide welcoming spaces and help make our local area feel like a special place to live.
Our postcard was a simple way of saying thank you and recognising the hard work and commitment of our local bakery and cafe.
Reading for pleasure
There is a quiet magic in reading purely for pleasure—getting lost in a good story, unwinding, and letting your mind wander into another world. But perhaps even more rewarding is the act of passing that magic along.
When you finish a book you’ve loved, leaving it somewhere unexpected—whether tucked into a community bookshelf, placed carefully on a garden bed, or left on a bench—turns a simple story into a shared journey. You never know who will come across it next, what kind of day they’re having, or how much they might need to lose themselves in a good read at that exact moment.
Books aren’t meant to sit on shelves collecting dust; they’re meant to travel, connect us, and be enjoyed over and over again. Next time you finish a favorite, consider leaving it out in the world for a stranger to discover. 📚
A Little Thank You to Our Wonderful Community 💛
We are delighted to share a special thank-you card currently displayed in a local shop window, created as a small way of showing our appreciation for the wonderful community around us.
The card is a simple but meaningful message of thanks to everyone who continues to support, care for and contribute to our local community.
A little note to say…
Today, we spread a little positivity throughout our local community by creating handmade cards and colourful flowers.
Each creation included a kind and uplifting message designed to brighten someone’s day. We then placed them carefully around the community for local residents to discover.
This simple act reminded us that kindness does not need to be expensive or complicated. A thoughtful message, a handmade gift and a few minutes of our time can help someone feel noticed and valued.
We hope our creations brought a smile to everyone who found one!
