What a Day! Bunting, sunshine, and sandwiches galore! Our VE Day picnic was a fantastic celebration filled with laughter, music, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue. Crews came together to remember the end of World War II in Europe with a joyful afternoon of games, dancing, and classic picnic treats. It was a wonderful way to honour history, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company – just like they did back in 1945!
Well done to everyone this week, some fabulous work 🙂
As part of our expedition lessons we have been learning about the Kings Trust and the work they do to support children and young people. We learnt that they try and help build resilience so we took part in some activities to try and help us become more resilient. These included cross the river, mirror challenge and blindfold assault course.
On Wednesday we continued our first case study all about King Charles III. We learnt that he became King of England after the death of his mother and that he had a ceremony called a coronation.
We then decided to hold our own coronation to celebrate the King and Queen of Carcroft. We even had trumpet players, the Prince of Wales and finished with a rendition of the National Anthem!
Well done everyone 🙂
Today in our writing lesson we listened to the story ‘The Queen’s Hat’ by Steve Arnold.
We enjoyed the story and then talked about how Queen Elizabeth sadly passed away and now we have a King. We then became illustrators to design a front cover for our new story that we will write over the next three weeks. Everyone worked hard and showed resilience, even when faced with challenges.
Crew Robson presents – The King’s Crown!
Thank you for joining us after school to celebrate our CarcroftGO! video and purchasing pizzas. Scan the QR code on your recipe card to see our video at home and I hope you all enjoy creating pitta pizzas too.
To hook into our new expedition we used our map reading skills to complete a task around the school grounds. At each checkpoint there was a word which together formed a sentence. This sentences was a clue about our new Summer Term expedition.
Huge shoutout to Penelope, Aaliyah and Lily-Marie who were the first group to unscramble the sentence. Great work girls!
To hook into our new expedition we have been learning about Paddington Bear. We learnt that he came on a boat from darkest Peru to London and the family he left behind. We also learnt he loved marmalade sandwiches so we couldn’t resist trying some!
