KS1 Beamish Trip. – Wednesday 15th June 2022

12th June 2022Stuart Longley

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.

The coach will return to Carcroft at about 5:00pm

Thanks

Science in MI

10th June 2022Stacey McClare

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.

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!

What a fantastic week! 🐠

Mental health – 8/6/22

8th June 2022Ruth Shields

A massive thank you to Mr Ibbotson who took the time to come and be our expert about mental health.
During his talk, he explained about mental health, how we can look after it and the impact to our daily lives if we don’t take care of ourselves.

The children had lots of questions to ask which helped their understand and develop their knowledge. Amazing to have an expert on hand to help us.
