Carcroft Candy Shop

9th February 2025Hannah McLoughlin

Check out our successful applicants! At the start of term, these Year 6 children successfully applied as Tuck shop coordinators – it was a tough decision as lots of children expressed their interest in the position but these application forms stood out, as they did not just list their strengths they backed these up with examples. They have been outstanding in their role this term and what a great experience! They will be writing their CV before we know it!

Remember to visit our tuck shop, on every Thursday in the Foyer.

Building Shelters

8th February 2025Ruth Shields

Survival 10! In Scotties, children learned what they’d need to do if they ever needed to survive in the wilderness. Children worked in groups to build themselves a shelter. They had to find a suitable place to pitch their shelter and worked together to get it up and find some seating for inside. Great team effort from all.

Crew Challenge

8th February 2025Ruth Shields

There is nothing like a good crew challenge to start the day. Children worked in groups of 3 or 4 and they had to hold as many pieces of paper as they could. However, the piece of paper couldn’t touch another piece and they had to hold it between different body parts such as knees, head or hands. One group managed to hold 5 pieces.

Exploring circuits lessons 2 and 3

7th February 2025Emily Ibbotson

Firstly, we recapped our learning about appliances and played a game to say whether they were electrical and if they were mains or battery powered. We then discussed what a circuit was and the different components which we use to construct a series circuit. In mini-crews, we made circuits and then drew them using symbols. We had great fun exploring what the different components did.

Next, we investigated what happened in complete and incomplete circuits. Using an energy stick, we explored what happened when we all were connected and the stick lit up. This was amazing!

Finally, we looked at pictures of circuits and then predicted if they would work. We then built them and tested them.

Bob Marley Sing Along

Crew Robson loved watching the Bob Marley Sing-a-Long in Crew this morning.

There were lots of children who were eager to join choir in KS2 next year and participate in Young Voices next year!
