KS1 have been putting their interviewing skills to the test! We were fortunate enough to interview Mrs Brentnall, a past pupil of Carcroft School, 77 years ago! Check out our Expedition page to find out more!
Today we started planning our newspaper reports. We thought about a catchy headline and tried to use alliteration. We thought about the 5 W’s creating our introduction. When then chotted down ideas for PP1 and PP2. Great work by all this morning 🙂
As part of our Summer Term expedition, the KS1 children are visiting the Beamish Museum in Durham.
The visit will be a full day where the children will have the opportunity to see what school was like in the past. Children will also have the opportunity to discover the games of the playground and take part in an infant lesson in the kindergarten of a Victorian school. Beamish also presents a unique insight into the living and working experiences of life in the Great North offering unrivalled learning opportunities.
Children will need to arrive at school by 7:45am
The coach will need to leave promptly at approximately 8:00am
Please ensure that children are wearing their RED Carcroft school uniform and sensible shoes (there will be a lot of walking !) The weather is also forecast to be quite hot, so children may want to have suncream applied.
Children will also need to bring a water bottle and a rucksack to carry their school-packed lunch in.
The children will be provided with a packed lunch from school and a small snack for the journey. Children do not need to bring any money, sweets or snacks.
We had a great Friday morning, working as a crew completing various team building activities. Our kind hoWLs shone through 🤩 Then in writing we continued plot point 2 of our new narrative ‘once upon a lifetime’, the quality of this writing is up there! It’s lovely to see children enjoying writing! Watch this space as when we finish these we will post a few on here for you to read.
This week in our expedition lessons we took part in a science experiment that linked to the work we have done around the heart. We took part in some physical activity and recorded our heart rate after different amounts of exercise. We then analysed our results and discussed the effect of exercise on the heart and our daily lives.
We’re really proud of all of our Year 1 children this week for completing their phonics screening checks. They have all been so resilient and tried their best. Well done Year 1!
What a busy day we have had in Crew Nursery! This morning we practised our scissor skills by snipping strips of paper and sticking them onto our ‘rainbow fish’.
This afternoon we had lots of fun getting messy exploring the slimy, jelly pool!
