Porridge
Today the children made their own porridge from Goldilocks and the three bears. They added fruit to make it even more healthy.
Sensory bowl
What a lovely, creative activity! 🥣✨ The children have explored the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears in a hands-on way, bringing the story of the bears’ porridge to life.
Here is how they made it : They drew a bowl on a lamating pouch , sealed the edges , added porridge , glitter, food colouring and water. This is how they turned out
Body Percussion
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.
Carcroft Celebrates Walk and Wheel Challenge 2026, we won!
Carcroft School was delighted to welcome Olympic medal-winning cyclist Ed Clancy and the Bikeability team for a fantastic day of cycling activities, after we worked so hard during last year’s Walk and Wheel Challenge!
Our children had the opportunity to take part in exciting cycling sessions, build their confidence and learn more about the importance of cycling safely. Meeting Ed Clancy, a three-time Olympic gold medallist, was a brilliant opportunity to be inspired by someone who has achieved so much in the world of cycling!
The sessions helped promote active lifestyles, road safety and cycling as a fun, healthy and environmentally friendly way to travel. It was wonderful to see our children getting involved, developing new skills and enjoying such a memorable experience.
A huge thank you to Ed and the entire Bikeability team for visiting Carcroft and helping to make the day so special. We are incredibly grateful for this fantastic opportunity and the lasting memories created for our children.
What a brilliant way to celebrate all of the children’s effort, walking and wheeling to school!

Festivals so far…
In year 1 and 2, we have been learning about different festivals and how they are celebrated.
Christians celebrate Harvest festival which is a time to thank God for all that he provides. People bring fruit, vegetables and other food items to their church service. In addition to this, they will donate toiletries and cleaning supplies. All of these items will then be donated to others less fortunate.
Jewish people celebrate Sukkot which is when they remember Moses and his time in the desert. Moses freed the Israelites from slavery and then wandered the desert for 40 years until God showed them their promised land. Jews will build shelters where they’ll pray, eat and sometimes sleep.
Next we learned about the Muslim festival of Eid which is celebrated at the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is when Muslims fast from dawn to sunset for approximately 30 days. They fast as a way of showing their commitment to their faith and also helps to build compassion for others. Children have a calendar similar to an advent calendar but instead of chocolate they’ll have challenges or opportunities to help others.
Today, we have learned about Diwali which is known as the festival of light. This is a festival celebrated by Hindu’s and Sikh’s. During this festival, they will decorate their homes, make candles, cook and buy sweet treats. This is a time for them to think about the year ahead and to remember the story of Rama and Sita where good triumphed over evil.
Cookies
In life skills today the children loved working together to make their own cookies
