This week in Crew FE we have been writing a broadcasting script about the recent devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, linked to our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, What happens when nature strikes? Today the children had the opportunity to perform these in front of a green screen. I was blown away with children’s fluency and expression skills as well as their ability to follow stage directions whilst reading!

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!
Half way mark…
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.
Sharing our expedition learning..
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.
Teacher Swap! 🧑🏫🔄
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!
Sharing our expedition journey so far…
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!
Final Product Work
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
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!!
Writing in the sunshine 🌞
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.
