Demonstration comprehension in MI

27th February 2023Stacey McClare

Today we developed our knowledge on how to answer 2 and 3 mark questions that refer to mood and atmosphere. We used APE to support our answers and worked collaboratively to structure our points. Finally we worked independently then allowed our partners to offer critique on our answers. A really great lesson MI 🙂

Great resilience today when exploring a poetry text. We explored the text, unpicked the vocabulary and thought about the hidden meanings and what the authors messages were within the text. Some great discussions and ideas raised 🙂

Caring crew in MI

20th February 2023Stacey McClare

Today we recognised how we are feeling and how we regulate our thoughts and behaviour. We talked about what makes us happy and sad then compared this to being angry and calm. During our crew activity, we played a game where we voiced an emotion and talked about a time when we have felt the emotion. This was a great opportunity to share different feelings and emotions with our mini crew. Our debrief included discussions on positive thoughts and having a positive attitude. We discussed that its ok to not be ok but we discussed how we help ourselves to achieve the best versions of us.

E-Safety Day 2023

9th February 2023Laura Godley

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)
