Y6 home learning

Over the long weekend, we are asking children to read chapter 3 and 4 of our class reading book ‘Clean Getaway’. We know they’ve been really enjoying reading this in class and would like to give them the opportunity to read for pleasure at home. Happy reading! 📖

UKS2 educating Carcroft community 🚀

The learning expedition culminated when we hosted an education expo at school to share our learning journey with parents and family members from the local community.  Here, we demonstrated our understanding of space, forces and computing through a range of presentations, films and live investigations as well as explaining just how movement affects our world.  We have compiled this into a video as a celebration of learning to create a lasting legacy of this expedition.  We also hope that this event has given the local community more reasons to become involved in our school life and appreciate our everyday journey in working hard and being kind to get smart. Check out our final product here incase you missed todays celebration of learning.

Thank you so much to parents who have been involved in the presentation and celebration of learning, it is very much appreciated. The children have loved showing off their learning to you and heres to another great term of expeditionary learning!

Carol singing in UKS2

Today we delivered our UKS2 carol concert to our families and what a lovely celebration it was. We all enjoyed singing a variety of songs with Mrs Ibbotson doing an amazing job playing the piano. We then continued with the festivities by enjoying a mince pie, hot chocolate and a few biscuits! What a lovely morning 🙂 We are all super proud of each and every crew and we hope everyone has a lovely festive period. Merry Christmas from all of the UKS2 crew and heres to a happy and healthy new year.
