Year 3/4 football tournament

9th October 2025Natasha Holdsworth

Today 5 pupils from both year 3 and year 4 headed out for the afternoon to compete in a football tournament. They were one of 10 teams, unfortunately we didn’t place in the top 3 but I was so impressed with the children’s efforts, resilience and sportsmanship. Out of the 10 teams, which was over 100 children in total, one of our year 4 pupils was given a medal for his stand out sportsmanship. We were all so proud of him, what a great achievement! Here’s a few photos to showcase our fantastic afternoon!

Being Kind in Crew

7th October 2025Laura Godley

Today in Crew, we beautifully demonstrated our Be Kind HoWL. We took time to share what we appreciate about each other and celebrate what makes every member of our Crew special. Sharni-Mae even suggested choosing our HoWL heroes at the end of the day and writing them postcards to praise their kindness. It was lovely to hear Crew members speaking so thoughtfully and kindly about one another.

The role of a nurse in Crew Ramsay

3rd October 2025Natasha Holdsworth

In today’s expedition lesson, the children spoke about the role of a nurse to which they were shocked a nurse can be either male or female as many of them thought all nurses were female. The children were given scenarios and used their acting skills alongside a few props to recreate the scenario with their partner. Lots of discussions were happening alongside lots of great acting!

Roald Dahl Day

2nd October 2025Natasha Holdsworth

Crew Ramsay have been working in mini crews on their tables, carefully using fine motor skills to create a green paper chain to resemble a crocodile from the linked text “The Enormous Crocodile”. They challenged themselves to see who could create the longest one. Table 2 came out in first place, however, in true crew style we decided to make one enormous crocodile by adding everyone’s together and created a “crew crocodile”.

Crew Challenge

24th September 2025Laura Godley

Children in Crew Godley took on an exciting Crew Challenge – to work together and build the tallest free-standing tower that could hold an object for 10 seconds! Using teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving, every crew rose to the challenge. The results were fantastic, with towers of all shapes and sizes showing just how much we can achieve when we collaborate and show determination.

Staff Day Crew Challenge

22nd September 2025Laura Godley

Just as we expect our children to work together, communicate effectively, and adapt with creativity, we placed ourselves in the same position. What is good enough for the children is good enough for us – showing that crew culture is for everyone, not just pupils.

Our Carcroft Crew Bake Off brought teamwork to life, with everyone taking on a role and responsibility to make it a success. Clear communication and smooth handovers proved essential, while creativity and adaptability helped turn simple recipes into something special. Most importantly, the challenge reminded us that fun, shared activities strengthen crew spirit, boost morale, and highlight the power of collaboration.

Year 4 Road Safety!

11th September 2025Shannon Colclough

Year 4 pupils participated in a special road safety course today, equipping them with essential skills for navigating roads safely. The engaging and practical session focused on crucial pedestrian skills, including safely crossing the road using the Green Cross Code, understanding different crossings, and identifying potential dangers posed by traffic. The students were enthusiastic participants, and we encourage parents to reinforce these important lessons at home to help their children develop responsible road habits.

Carcroft Crew Graffiti Project

2nd September 2025Laura Godley

Today we worked together as a whole school crew to design and create our very own graffiti wall! With the support of expert graffiti artists, we learned new skills and used our creativity to celebrate everything that makes Crew special. From sharing ideas and sketching designs, to choosing colours and spraying the final masterpiece, we collaborated as one team to bring our vision to life. Our graffiti wall now stands as a bold reminder that when we work together, we can achieve something amazing!
