Welcome to Carcroft Newsroom!
This week, children in Crew Thompson have been writing their own scripts about the recent earthquakes that happened in Turkey and Syria. Today, children had lots of fun performing these in front of the the green screen! I was really impressed with how hard the children worked and how they had lots of courage and determination to perform these. Keep up the fab work!
We can’t believe that we’ve reached the half way mark with swimming lessons.
The children are making progress every week and it’s lovely to see how much they’ve come on over the last 6 weeks.
We’ve a group of children in the deep end and quite a few have moved to the middle section today. A few are still in the shallow end but making strides every week.
The children loved sharing their expedition learning and sharing what they have learnt so far when answering the guiding question: where could your journey take you?
The children were most excited about sharing their hunt for the kings crown and where they had looked around London. 👑
It was lovely to have parents in to share our learning journey so far, and we cannot wait to share our next case study about space.
This afternoon, many of our teachers had the opportunity to swap classes so that they could share some of their favourite stories with another crew! The children absolutely loved having a different teacher, listening to stories and exploring their own imagination! It was lovely to pop into crews and see the real love for reading taking place as well as children’s thirst for reading. The fact that in some crews children were wanting to read more books by particular authors because they enjoyed it so much, and that other children wanted to read the book again or finish it, was fab! Hopefully next year we can do much more of this and maybe we can get some of our grown ups from home to come in too!
It was great to see so many grown ups coming in to support the children so thank you for taking the time to come and join us.
As a crew, we decided that we’d feel more confident sharing information with parents together before looking through books. This allowed everyone to get involved with the sharing of their learning as we were unsure of how many parents were able to attend.
Each person had a part of the learning to share and then they felt more confident sitting with their books and showing the different parts of learning.
The crew did an amazing job of sharing our learning for summer 1 and they should be extremely proud of themselves!
Crew Welburn finished our transport models today and finally got to take our photo ready to send off to be created into a jigsaw! We’re so excited to see what our jigsaw comes out as, but for now, here’s a sneak peak!
Swimming will be as normal tomorrow so children need to ensure they wear their swimming stuff under their clothes and bring the rest of their swimming stuff. They need to also remember to have breakfast as we won’t be having bagels until we return to school.
Thanks
If you thought SATs was intense, try avoiding a terrifying monster whilst exploring in a submarine using only your arithmetic knowledge to escape!* We didn’t mind it too much!!
This morning we are carrying out some peer critique and redrafting our narratives ‘In the shadows’. We have loved this unit of work, especially our cliffhanger endings.
Due to loving our athlete visit last year….
I am excited to announce that we have an athlete visiting school Monday 3rd July 2023.
Children should have come home with a sponsor form tonight, sponsor forms are due in Monday 19th June 2023.
Sponsor forms should be handed in to class teachers or the office once all sponsor money has been collected.
This is a great opportunity for the children to meet a GB athlete and raise money for school at the same time, as soon as we know who the school athlete is I will share.
