DT Hook session – Ready, steady, BAKE!

Heart Dissection

Today, we had the chance to dissect a heart which would allow us to develop our understanding further. We weren’t all delighted at the prospect of cutting the heart open but we had a go. Although, some of us had to leave the room. Definitely, a different experience in the classroom for Crew Shields.

Max/Ellie – I enjoyed exploring the aorta and the vena cava.

Hannah – I loved dissecting the heart and exploring the aorta and vena cava.

Ellie – I learned the muscle on the right side of the heart is thicker because it has more work to by pumping all the blood around the body. The Left muscle wall is thinner because it only has to pump blood to the lungs.

LKS2 – Solids, liquids and gases (17.5.22) 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Today, LKS2 had a great day of learning about solids, liquids and gases. We first acted out how the particles move in these different states to fully understand how they move.

We then listed all the different types of solids, liquids and gases to see what range of types they could see. After this, we completed a worksheet showing off our learning and drew a diagram of the particles. Some of us even challenged ourselves to reach green to describe how particles move!

Another great day in crew Fox

Yesterday we gained a 3 in our HOWLs and have maintained this today too!

We have played rounders in the sunshine with lots of us getting full rounds – we have positive attitudes and challenged ourselves.

Have a look at our great sketches of the plague doctor. We are proud of our beautiful work.

Scoot to school! 🛴

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am delighted to let you know Carcroft School is participating in a Scoot to School scheme funded by Doncaster MBC. The school has received 20 scooters and helmets and scooter storage. These will be available to be used in school time by all pupils. 

To celebrate the start of Scoot to School we are having a Scoot to School Day! It is a fun day that encourages children and their families to come to school on their scooters. We would love you all to get involved so if your child doesn’t have a scooter you can walk, cycle, or skate to school instead. 

We know there are some things that make it more difficult for some pupils to get involved. If you would like to discuss more about your child(ren)’s specific needs, please contact (insert name) and we will make sure there is a way your child can take part. 

Scoot to School Day will be taking place on Thursday 19th May 2022

What activities will be taking place on Scoot to School Day?

Wheel around school session: There will be a designated time and space for the children to be able to use their scooters, skates and bikes at school. 

Dr Scoot: Active Travel Officer Chris Pryor will be carrying out scooter checks to ensure that they are safe and will make any minor repairs that are needed. 

Launch the Scoot to School Challenge: each class will be competing to win the challenge by recording the most Scoot to School journeys over a 4 week period. 

We really hope you can get involved and join in the fun.

Kind Regards,

Chris Pryor and Miss Marsh

Modeshift Active Travel Officer
