Thank you to all of the grown ups who came to celebrate EYFS’s expedition learning with them last week! The children loved sharing what they had learnt about their ‘Be Kind’ expedition, and it was lovely to see all of the excited faces when we unveiled our final product!
Yesterday we celebrated another fabulous year at Carcroft School. We came together as a community to enjoy our annual family picnic and say goodbye to our Y6 children. We had a great time ☀️🥳
Many thanks go to our community for a great school year! We wish everyone an enjoyable summer, filled with fun and laughter.
What an amazing morning! Crew McGlone and Crew Welburn were absolutely fabulous during our Sports Day and the amount of grown ups that joined us was wonderful! The children were so well behaved and really enjoyed themselves. The weather managed to hold out and the rain held off – wahoo! Thank you so much to all the grown ups who came to share this lovely event with us, your support is very much appreciated!
More pictures of our extremely exciting day on Tuesday!
Because we usually only stay for a morning session, we got to enjoy our first proper dinner time as we stayed for a FULL DAY for our transition! We thought our lunch was delicious and did an amazing job of lining up at the servery and we were very polite when talking to our lovely kitchen staff.
Crew MW have had a fantastic transition day! We started with a crew challenge of keep the balloon up in mini crews. The children were fantastic at this!
After that, we explored our new classroom. We found lots of new things to play with and to share with our friends and teachers!
Next, we had story time. We looked at a story called ‘all kinds of people’ and how we are all different but we all belong. We used our mirrors to paint self portraits thinking about the shapes of our faces, colour of our eyes and our hair. Our teachers are saving these to put up on our proud piece walls over summer so that we can show our grown ups on our first day!
Our final activity was exploring our forest school area! We put our wellies on and collected our scavenger hunt checklists with our partner to go and search for different items in the forest area. We had lots of fun collecting the different items and working with our pairs!
We can’t wait to welcome everyone back at the end of August!
Due to school being closed because of the strike action, EYFS Sports Day will now take place on Wednesday 12th July. Timings to remain the same.
On Wednesday, we were treated to a production of Oliver Twist. This was a big deal for Crew McGlone because it was the first time we had been in the hall for a performance with the rest of the school! We absolutely LOVED IT! We loved the lights, the music, everything! We sat so beautifully as well throughout the whole performance, our teachers we so proud of how well we behaved! We can’t wait for the next production! 🎭
In expedition, we have been looking at different modes of transport and how they can help us to move around our local area, as well as how they can help us to move around the world. We have looked at the purpose of various vehicles and how some are suitable for shorter journeys, whereas others are suitable for longer journeys.
We looked at different locations (Asda Carcroft, Doncaster City Centre, Cleethorpes, Canada, and Kenya) and thought carefully about the transport that would be needed to get to each destination. We then drew the transport we would like to use to get to that location. Take a look at some of our beautiful drawings below!
I’ve been so impressed to see so many brilliant builds in our construction and small world areas this week. The designs have been wonderful and the team work has been outstanding! I have heard lots of critique, positive comments, polite and kind words – it has made me feel very proud!
