Don’t forget our end of Year Family Picnic on Thursday 21st July at 1pm.
GATES WILL OPEN AT 12.45PM TO ENSURE THERE ISN’T A SURGE OF PEOPLE QUEUING AT 1PM. CLASSROOM DOORS WILL SHUT AND GATES WILL BE LOCKED AT 1.15PM TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. CHILDREN WILL BE SIGNED OUT OF CLASS OVER TO THEIR RESPONSIBLE ADULT BEFORE THEY ATTEND THE PICNIC.
Please bring a picnic and a blanket (no alcohol, vapes, smoking or dogs permitted on site). All children who usually have a dinner including the children who normally have packed lunches and have paid for a dinner will be provided with the lunch that they have ordered to bring out to the picnic. All other children should bring their packed lunch as usual.
The Y6 leavers parade will take place at 2.30pm. If you wish to leave and come back for this you are more than welcome to do so.
Today, LKS2 launched their final products for both the Spring and Summer Expeditions. Thanks to our trusty sales people, they expertly sold our CDs for the Expedition Why should we protect our beautiful planet? They also were able to sell our sweets that we made for the Expedition answering Why is sugar not sweet? The sweets were freshly packed this morning and we hope that you enjoyed them!
A huge thanks goes to the many parents that turned up and were able to raise money for different charities. It was so cool to see and there were so many lovely vibes, smiley faces and excited children. We will inform you of the money raised in due course! Thanks also to Mrs Fox for taking photos of the event!
There are still plenty of CDs and sweets left that can be bought for £3 and £2 respectively, so be sure to grab yours!
I have loved the different activities that we carried out with parents every morning. We created towers to balance oranges on, foil boats and building something out of marshmallows and sticks to balance an egg on…. we only smashed one!
We also completed lots of learning around the colour monster and thinking about how each monster is feeling. We also practiced our fine motor skills with a range of activities.
I am looking forward to September and being Crew Marsh again – have a lovely summer!
Tonight, we have been blown away by how amazing our pupils truly are. Our hearts are really bursting with so much pride. As part of the XP Climate Conference, Carcroft was invited, along with other Trust schools, for the very first event including primary schools.
We were lucky to witness some fantastic speeches, as Year 3 and 4 pupils spoke along with high school pupils in front of about 200-300 people! This did not daunt our very brave pupils, Chloe, Honey, Lilly and Tommy, as they spoke beautifully about the Expedition they completed in the Spring Term. We answered the Guiding Question Why should we protect our beautiful planet? Their confidence shone through as they spoke so clearly and incredibly well as they spoke about their learning and final product – a charity song. We could not have been prouder!
After premiering the song video and listening to a question and answer with some expert visitors, it was time to sell our CDs. Luckily, we had some fantastic sales people who walked around confidently, persuasively and persistently. They have raised a boat load of money for the charity, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation. Without their kindness and can-do attitude, I don’t think we would have raised nearly as much. Most importantly, the manners shown were impeccable whether or not items were sold. A lot of people are leaving XP with lighter pockets tonight thanks to your efforts!
Tomorrow, LKS2 will be selling the charity singles tomorrow for £3, in order to raise more money for the Foundation. It would be great if we could raise even more money. LKS2 will also be selling sweets as part of the current Expedition. See more information below about the CDs:
Finally, we would just like to say a massive well done to Tommy, Chloe, Honey and Lilly again. You guys absolutely smashed it and represented yourselves and Carcroft impeccably. We could not be prouder! A big thanks as well to the parents of these children as well for bringing them – without that, we could not have had as much success!
Children will go round the carousel of activities in their teams to try and earn the most points.
At the end of the sports day, children will sit in their teams on the grass for the winner to be announced, and parents can spectate this on the muga pitch. Children will then walk past for a last goodbye before entering back into school. The gate will be opened for parents at 11:30am.
There will be a barrier that parents are not allowed past, in order to keep our children safe and keep the activities moving.
