Ladies in Pigs

Today we were visited by Nicola and Natalie from Ladies in Pigs who taught us all about where our food comes from and even cooked some tasty frying pan pizzas. The children even helped. What a great hook into our DT cade study!

Bedtime Books in KS1

In our crews, we voted that bedtime stories make us feel all warm and cosy inside! We love to read stories and so many of our children are so eager to share the stories we read in school with their grown ups and siblings at home.

We would like to invite children to select a book on a Friday to take home for the week to share at bedtime with the families. We have so many to choose from and the children are excited to do so!

You can help us by: 

  • Keep your bedtime book safe in your book bag when you are walking to and from school with it. 
  • Keep your bedtime book in a safe place at home away from pets, food and drink. It’s so hard to turn sticky pages!  
  • Return your bedtime book on a Friday, ready to change.

What happens if I forget to bring my book on a Friday? 

  • Don’t worry, please bring it in as soon as you can and you can change it. 
  • We will remind you which bedtime book you have. 
  • If you lose a book and cannot find it, please let your crew leaders know. If you lose more than one book you may be asked to replace the book.

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)

Active Maths – counting coins

This week in maths we have been learning about money and the value of different coins. Today we worked in pairs to work out how much money was in different jars pinned around the room. I was very impressed with their knowledge and addition skills. I wonder if you could practice making different amounts of money at home?
