Crew Welburn’s Weekly Review 18.6.2021

18th June 2021A Welburn

Highlight of the week:

Crew Welburn have really impressed me with their writing this week in expedition lessons. We have carried out two pieces of independent writing and the quality has absolutely blown me away! I can’t believe that five and six year olds can write such amazing fact files!

We have also been working really hard in maths this week, looking at arrays. We picked this up really quickly and everyone felt really confident at making arrays for different numbers in multiple ways.

HOWL Heroes:

Work Hard: Kairen

HOWL Score: 2.8 This is a good score considering we have had a lot of children off today ⭐

This week’s HOWL average: 3.2 Well done Crew Welburn!

Learning legend: My learning legend this week is Darcie Fraser. Darcie has been a superstar in maths over the last half term. She has been working really hard with her addition and subtraction number sentences, and in her mental maths for her number recognition,place value and number formation. I am really impressed with how smart she has got! Keep it up Darcie!

Crew Wilson Weekly Review: 18/6/2021

18th June 2021Thomas Wilson

We have had a fantastic week in Crew Wilson this week! We have worked so hard to get through all of our learning and have really demonstrated an improvement with our listening and attention!

Highlights of the Week:

Expedition: We have really enjoyed exploring the Arctic and Antarctic continents this week. We have written fact files for animals in these climates, have explored food chains and have created some fantastic pointillism footprints too!

Maths: We have continued with our arithmetic work, answering number sentences presented in different ways. We have also explored vertices and sides of 2D shapes and have had a practice at representing numbers with arrays.

Crew: We have completed lots of fun things in our daily Crew sessions this week. We have used directional language to guide our blindfolded friends around the playground, we have practiced our communication skills with whisper games and have used praise, notice and wonder as part of our gallery walk. We have loved looking back through our work and giving each other praise for what we have accomplished!

Howl Average: We have ended the week with an average score of 3.6 – a great achievement. Let’s see if we can beat it next week by working hard, getting smart and being kind.

Learning Legend:

Perrie is Crew Wilson’s learning legend this week as she always strives to achieve her best in all areas of learning. Perrie is a maths whiz and consistently gets on to extension questions in every lesson, and is trying very hard to improve her writing. Perrie is working so hard and we are so proud of all she has achieved this year! 

Sports Day

17th June 2021Helen Lythe

Dear Parents and Carers,

There have been a number of parents enquiring about sports day and the decision made by the school to close this event to spectators. We absolutely understand that not opening the day up to parents isn’t what you want to hear, however our main aim is to ensure the children have the best possible day and that our community is kept safe. The decision was made based on Government restrictions (no more than 30 people meeting outdoors socially) and our belief that managing this event and keeping everyone safe would be extremely difficult if spectators were able to attend. If a positive case were confirmed amongst our spectators, we would be required to inform everyone who attended to isolate, which would be a difficult and time consuming task. There have been references made about parents being allowed on school grounds when picking children up and that they are gathering in groups. As a school, we are encouraging everyone to socially distance whilst on school grounds and expect that parents should be on the school grounds for no longer than 15 minutes when dropping off or collecting children. If parents were to attend sports day, they would be gathering for over two hours and as there would be over 30 spectators, we would be breaking Government restrictions. We were unable to hold a sports day for the children last year due to lockdown and therefore this year, we want to make sure that the children experience this and have a great day. We will be taking lots of videos and pictures that will be shared with parents during and after the event, to ensure we capture the day for you.
We know this isn’t ideal and hope that you understand why we have made this decision. Hopefully next year things will have resumed and we will welcome you into school as we have done before.

Thanks CS Crew

Swimming Super Stars (16/6/21) 🏊‍♂️

16th June 2021Simon Gerrard

This was another fantastic week at swimming and a session that we all enjoyed very much. It was maybe even pour favourite yet, which is a very hard choice to make, considering we love swimming so much! Today, we we went swimming in our clothes and this was for a very good reason – it was our water safety course, which we will complete next week as well. The vast majority of us managed to swim in the deep end. Those that didn’t still have next week to have a go, but they did brilliantly in the depth of water that they felt most confident in. I know many will try next week. It was difficult to pick our swimming super star this week, with so many fantastic achievements. They were:

McKenzie for being able to swim in the deep end with a ball on his front and back! (Crew G) 😀

Riley for swimming so confidently and with great skill! (Crew G) 😁

Roxanne for showing great perseverance, even with some nerves! (Crew Mc) 😃

Harry for swimming in the deep end to the rope, which was 15m away! (Crew Mc) 😄

I want to give a special shout out to Brayden who was our first pupil to swim from the deep end to the shallow end. Myself and Mrs Gilliland, along with the swimming instructors were blown away. We were really proud!

The children will need to come with the same clothing next week as well, as we continue our swimming safety! 😆

Final word presentations – y6 parents

16th June 2021Helen Lythe

Dear Parents/carers,

During the next few weeks, our Year 6 children are preparing for their ‘Final Word’ presentation. This is a reflection on their primary school years whereby they reflect on their character growth, academic success and the beautiful work that they have produced during their time at Carcroft School. This is also a time to use their reflections to share why they are ready to take on their new challenge at their secondary school.

During their presentations, we would like to invite you to attend their Final Word along with their crew lead and a teacher of their choice. If you would like to attend, please fill out the form below by Friday 18th June so that staff can align times and dates for the year 6 pupils presentations.

This Week in the Phase: KS1

12th June 2021Thomas Wilson

Check out all of our exciting learning from our first week back. We’ve completed lots of work for our expedition final product, worked with manipulatives in maths to support our learning and developed our relationships through team building activities in crew!

Crew Wilson Weekly Review

12th June 2021Thomas Wilson

We have had a fantastic first week back after half term in Crew Wilson and we have definitely been spoiled with the beautiful weather. We seemed to have turned a corner with our attitude to learning and demonstrating our howls throughout every lesson. We’ve had a lot of 4,4,4’s this week which is a brilliant achievement. However, we still have some work to do on our chattiness so that we can get through all of the learning planned, as it isn’t very long till the end of term and we have still got lots to do before then!

Highlights of the Week:

Maths: We have been looking at splitting numbers into 10’s and 1’s, using manipulative objects to support us. It was quite tricky but we soon got the hang of it, and by the end of the lesson we were identifying the different parts of numbers up to 50! Well done Crew Wilson!

Expedition: We have had a never-ending list of tasks to complete this week for expedition, as our final product is being created next week so we had lots to finish off. We have practiced our art skills lots this week, working on colour mixing, pointillism and collage and we have created some beautiful work to go on our information board at Flamingo Land. We are very excited to see what our final product will look like when all of our work is pulled together!

Crew: In crew this week we have been working on building trust and developing communication skills, working in mini crews and pairs to complete different activities. Our favourite was our blind-folded trust walk, it was tricky to rely on a friend to guide us around the playground and not peek from under our blindfolds but we trusted our partners and did very well. Next week we will make it a bit more difficult with an assault course to navigate, watch this space!

Howl Average:

We have ended the week on a 3.7 – a very good score for us! Let’s keep this momentum going and work very hard, get even smarter and be kind all the way up to the summer holidays!

Great work this week Crew Wilson, I am very proud of all we have achieved in our first week back!

Our week in Crew Thiede 7.6.21

12th June 2021Jane Thiede

We have had a lovely sunny start to the final half term in F1. ☀️ The children have come back with such a positive attitude and are going to make this the best term yet!

We started our week off with some crew building. We used blocks to see how big we could build a tower. 👷🏻 The children worked in mini crews before coming together to share their ideas. We talked about the best way the place the blocks and how we can make the tower stronger. Most importantly we learnt a lot about sharing, working together and how this makes a strong crew. 👫🏻

To finish our week we acted out our story: What the Ladybird Heard! 🐞 We used the masks we made in creative with Mrs Rafter so that we looked like the animals in the story! We did a great job and together we confused Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len so much that they fell in the pond and couldn’t take the fine prize cow! 🐄 A big thank you to Ebony, Keya, Freya, Isaac, Keya and Freya from Crew Fox for your help. You were amazing actors 👏🏻

Shout outs

🌟 Eveah- You have had an amazing week ❤ You have been an amazing example of Crew and have shown all your HOWLs all day, everyday!

🌟 Charlie – such a settled start to this half term. The adults have been blown away with your attitude to school this week, keep it up!

This week’s HOWL score was 3! An amazing start, let keep going!
