UKS2 Final Product – Summer 2022

22nd July 2022Ruth Shields

I can’t believe that we have come to the end of another Expedition and completed another fantastic final product. Our expedition for this term was ”How can a healthy lifestyle impact our body and mind?” We completed a history, science and DT case study. These subjects allowed us to explore how medicine has changed, the circulatory system and our cooking and baking skills. The children marvelled at the weird and wonderful things used to treat illnesses during the plague. They were even given the opportunity to gain a basic first aid certificate. During DT, they loved cooking and especially the tasting of the food. The children have been fortunate to have lots of opportunities to do hands on learning.

Our final product was to create an informative video for the public and as this was a trust product, we were all given a section to complete. Carcroft were allocated the mental health section of the video and I know this is a topic we spend lots of time on as we understand the importance of good mental health.

At the moment, we have been unable to confirm where this video will be played on a permanent basis but this is being discussed and negotiated. Once this has been confirmed, we will ensure that we inform you of this.

We hope you enjoy our Mental Health video for our final product

Crew Fox Final Word 2022

20th July 2022Olivia Fox

This week, our children presented their Final Word presentations to crew leaders, teachers friends and family 🥰. They spent hours putting their google slides together to present their character growth, academic success and beautiful work to their parents😃. So many of them were nervous to do this but still managed to present with confidence… we were so proud! 🤩

Y6 Performance 5:30 cancellation

18th July 2022Olivia Fox

Dear Y6 parents, unfortunately due to the weather, we have made the decision to cancel our 5:30 performance Tuesday. Quite a few children have shared they’re not coming back to school for the evening show. However, our 2pm performance will continue to go ahead. Thank you for your understanding. 

Day 2 of Crew Fox cooking

8th July 2022Olivia Fox

Today was time for the main course… traffic light chicken kebabs! Before our cooking and preparation began, we learned about cross contamination. This was important to understand so that we are staying safe whilst cooking.

First we made the marinade using paprika, tomato ketchup and chopped garlic. Then we chopped the chicken in to large chunks before we marinated it thoroughly. Whilst some of us were chopping chicken, others were chopping peppers into large chunks. Finally, we created the skewers and cooked them in the oven. Delicious!

Soup making!

7th July 2022Olivia Fox

Today during DT, we made our own tomato soup… from scratch! We followed the recipe and worked as mini crews to prepare the food before we began cooking. We were really patient with each other showing great HOWLs all morning.
