Before the Easter Holidays, we finished our paper mâché nests and decorated them, ready for the Easter Bunny. The children have also made Easter cards, creating bunnies out of handprints.
Using concrete resources, we incorporated Easter into our maths lessons with number matching and colour-by-number activities. We then used Easter in our phonics lessons to support blending CVC words. These activities were completed with minimal adult support—fantastic work!
A selection of beautiful work and provision from Crew McGlone this week, including name writing, sentence writing, expedition and independent learning in provision.
Crew Gray have been Getting Smart by working in small teams to complete our times table relays. This was fun and active way for us to continue consolidating our times table knowledge.
Crew Gray have been working hard in Maths, we have been ordering and comparing decimals. To consolidate and tie all of our learning together, we were challenged to measure our heights and ordered these in ascending order.

📚 Becoming Real Authors
By publishing your reports, you’ve taken an exciting step—you are now published authors! That means other people can read, learn from, and enjoy your work. How amazing is that?
Writing like this helps build important skills:
Researching information
Organising ideas
Writing clearly for a reader
Taking pride in your work
These are the same skills that real journalists, scientists, and authors use every day!
You should feel incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. Writing a non-chronological report isn’t easy, but you’ve shown creativity, effort, and determination. Keep up the amazing work! ✨
This week I have been working on my non- chronological report. I have produced 2 pages full of writing including the Carcroft School logo and 4 paragraphs in different lengths. Firstly, I researched my subject. Secondly, I wrote. Thirdly, I edited my work improving and ensuring a perfect piece. Lastly, I published my work on to 2 different pieces of paper. Written by Tiarna.
I am proud of the work I have created; it’s a non chronological report I’ve been working on for the past week. I hope you like it. It’s about the Solar System. Written by Greatness.
This week in Crew White we’ve been working on non-chronological reports based on our favourite things:
Dogs
Carcroft School
Anime
My non-chronological report is all about dogs and how they help people in different ways, sometimes without us even realising! Written by Frankie.
In Writing, we have been creating a non-chronological poster about things we like. I wrote about Football (my title was Football The Beautiful Game). This was the process of writing the non-chronological report:
First, we had to practise writing sentences; some skills we learnt were compound sentences, complex sentences, colon to introduce a list, semi colons and cohesive devices;
Then, we had to write an introduction about the topic we were writing about;
Also, we had to write 2 main paragraphs so I did a history paragraph about football and then a modern paragraph about football;
After we edited it all, we had to write the paragraphs onto the poster and mine had footballs as the border.
In maths today the children were looking at half and quarters in fractions. The children used concrete evidence to work out half and quarter of a number.
This week, I have been writing a non-chronological report about dogs. First, I researched my subject and wrote it in my book, then I checked and edited my work. After that, I designed where I would do my writing on a practice sheet then published it; here is my final piece of writing.
In Crew White, we have chosen a subject that we are interested in. We have written and published it in order to inform you about our interests! We have enjoyed writing about it all and we hope you learn something when we come to share it! Personally, I have chosen turtles since they are a big interest of mine and I hope to inform you about our impact on their world!
