What an exciting week we have had in LKS2. We have had such a great week and the highlight for Year 3 and 4 was certainly our Viking experience at Murton Park. This hooked us further into our new Expedition, where we will answer the Guiding Question “Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?” We absolutely loved it! Enjoy your weekend LKS2! 😆

Please can you pack a spare change of clothes for the children that you don’t mind getting dirty. This session will be either Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday so please pack ready for Tuesday.
Thank you

Crew SB – 10/9/21
What a wonderful week we’ve had in UKS2 made even better with our trip to Harry Potter world. The trip was absolutely amazing and the children’s ere a credit to the school and their families with how well they conducted themselves while out of school. Even the children who aren’t particularly huge Harry Pitter fans have expressed how much they enjoyed it. Definitely worth a visit to explore. Looking forward to seeing how the children use their experience when completing learning during this expedition.
We have have had a more formal timetable this week, getting back to to our trusty routines and structures. To say the children have not long come back after the school holidays, they have settled back into our routines quickly.
In maths, we have been refreshing ourselves on place value as we understand the importance of having a strong foundation with the value of numbers. This underpins all aspects of maths so it’s essential the children are confident with this aspect of Maths.
Today in PE, we were so impressed with their kindness and eagerness to support each other. They were returning the ball for their peers, coaching each other through each activity and cheering each other on. This was lovely to see and shows how well they have come together as a crew since our return.
Have a lovely weekend.

Week – 6.09.21
What a busy but enjoyable week! This week we have learnt in our new groups for reading, spelling, writing and maths.. it has been amazing to see how everyone in our crew has settled into this and how much they love learning with all of the teachers in our phase.
We have made an amazing start on our dragon poems and we cannot wait for the children to be able to perform them when they are finished!
Murton park was an amazing trip/day this week and it was great to see the children learn in the role of a Viking, carrying out tasks such as practicing how to use weapons, pottery skills and living as Viking making bread. Look at this video to see more of what we got up to: https://carcroftschool.co.uk/year-4s-viking-visit-blog-8-9-21/
Have a great weekend and a well deserved break.. see you all Monday!

This week in Crew Tucker… 10/9/21
We’ve had another fantastic week in Crew Tucker with lots of great learning taking place both inside and outside the classroom.
Our highlight of the week has to be our visit to Murton Park, York where the children spent the day experiencing what life was like for a Viking. Dressed to impress, the children learnt how to be handle weapons to guard the village, made bread using Viking recipes and techniques and created pottery which we have brought back to school to display in our classroom.
If you haven’t seen it, click play on the video below to see photos and videos from our trip. If you’ve seen it already, watch it again as it really was an amazing day!
This week also saw our class celebrate our very first Learning Legend. This award went to none other than… Rome Wilson! Rome has made a brilliant start to his time in Year 3 and has demonstrated his determination to work hard to get smart in all lessons. He has created some beautiful work, particularly in Art where he has shown a real flare for the subject; his clay dragon eye is truly impressive!
Each and every member of our crew has worked incredibly hard this week. Starting Key Stage Two can be a challenge but they have risen to this and excelled our expectations. Keep up the hard work Crew Tucker.
Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you all bright and early on Monday morning.
EYFS weekly blog. 10.9.21
This week the children have all completed a full week in their new crews. For some children this means their first full week in school ever! We have had a brilliant time. 👍
The children have really worked hard to get smart in FS2. From starting phonics learning, counting cubes, discussions “all about me” for expedition they have definitely earned a weekend rest 😊
The children in F1 have settled in well and have been working on following the classroom routine. They have been looking at “being kind” to each other and their classroom by choosing using and putting away the toys and equipment. The have made their crew adults proud but trying so hard to eat all their dinners and trying new food.
Well done crew EYFS! Have a lovely weekend ❤️
A visit from a hero!
Today we had a very special visitor in Key Stage One, a real life hero that works on the front lines of a hospital! Here’s a snapshot of what we got up to, check out This Week in Phase for the full experience!
