Mining – We need your help!

Do you know anyone who has worked in the mines or was a miner during the strikes, who would be willing to come and share their experiences with our children?

Do you have any mining artefacts that you would be willing to lend us?

If so, can you please either see Miss Shields in person or email at [email protected].

Thanking you in advance.

Today we have started our first draft of our artwork for our final product. To say these are our first drafts we are very proud of our beautiful work already! We had three groups: some children decided to draw a mic with the help of Miss Taylor (to represent MLKs speech) which was for children less confident with art, the next group worked step by step with me to draw George Floyd and the last group lead their own learning by pushing for 4 and challenged themselves to follow an online tutorial drawing Martin Luther King.

E-Safety Day 2023

On Tuesday 7th February we celebrated Safer Internet Day 2023, attached are the slides we created to showcase our thoughts and ideas. 

Internet Safety or E-Safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. At Carcroft School we want to help our parents and children improve their own understanding of e-safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.

As a parent/carer you’ll know how important the internet is to children – they use it to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. But the technology children use every day can seem a bit daunting and you might worry about the risks your child can face online – such as bullying, contact from strangers or the possibility of them seeing illegal or inappropriate content.  

To try and help parents/carers with the fast moving and changing world of internet and social media we’ve suggested a few internet sites. You can also read/download the documents for further information and advice.

  •  Thinkyouknow (advice from the National Crime Agency to stay safe online)
  • Internet matters (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
  • Parent info (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
  • Child net (help and advice for parents and carers)
  • Net-aware (support for parents and careers from the NSPCC)
