Our Final Word preparation continues today with children now focusing on speaking in front of others. We built up from presenting to small groups before presenting to the whole class. Speaking in front of others is not an easy skill but we’re working hard to make sure we build our confidence!

Once we had finished assessments, it was time to get cracking with our writing in preparation for the final product.
Today, we critiqued a model text and gave praises, notices and wonders before starting to plan out what we’ll write about in each stanza.
We’re looking forward to writing the poems and then sharing them with the community.
Thank you to Ava and Georgie who shared their passion for skateboarding and rollerblading with the rest of the crew.
They often tell us about it and I know Georgie spends lots of time at the skate park.
On Friday, in Crew Pashley, we celebrated Pjarmarama Day by completing different reading activities in our comfy clothes. To kick start our day, we designed new front covers for our hook book ‘The Flood’. Here are just a few of our favourites!
We experienced our very own Carcroft Starbooks, even trying some tasty book themed treats!
To finish off our FUN day, we chose our favourite books to read outside in the sun with a cool ice lolly.
There has been lots of construction happening this week! We’ve been making car parks, rockets, towers… all sorts! We’ve taken some inspiration from the example pictures in the construction area and we have also added our own ideas and concepts too. Olly even decided to draw his ideas out first before beginning to build his creation with Hunter. There has been lots of teamwork, resilience and trial and error – fantastic work Crew McGlone!
The weather has been beautiful this week and it has allowed us to have lots of fun outside! We also did another assault course during crew because we enjoyed it SO much last week 💪🏼
Arya has really been enjoying her phonics lessons and has been using role play to work on her letter formation. She has been teaching the ‘m’ lesson and did a beautiful representation of Maisie, mountain, mountain – you can even spot Maisie stood next to the two mountains! Excellent work Arya!
Here are just some of the beautiful creations from provision this week.
This week we have welcomed 15 new, fluffy arrivals to EYFS 🐥
The eggs arrived earlier in the week, and we watched the incubator in anticipation to see if we could see any movement or cracks appearing.
After a couple of days, we came to school one morning to find that some of the chicks had hatched overnight and were starting to fluff up in the warmth of the incubator! We could hear them cheeping and we could not believe that they had come out of something so small!
That same day, 5 more eggs hatched and we were lucky enough to watch some of them happen in front of our eyes! We had some visitors from other crews in school – everyone has been so excited! The following day, the remaining 5 eggs had all hatched too and we now had 15 new arrivals to look after. We had to wait until they were fully dry and fluffed up before transferring them to their brooder box.
We made sure that the brooder box was nice and cosy for them, switching on the heat lamp and making it comfortable, as well as sorting water and food out for them. Since then, we have been watching them getting to grips with their first few days out of their eggs. They are so cute and we all love them so much! Now that they are a little stronger, we will be able to hold them if we want to! We can’t wait to spend the next few days with them before they go off to their new homes with some of the very lovely staff from our school! 🐥
