Following on from our colour mixing lesson yesterday we began painting our Rangoli patterns.
We used lots of different colours to make sure they were bright and colourful.
Painting Rangoli Patterns

Acro & cheer showcase
Today we had our final acro & cheer showcase of the year. It really put a smile on all of our faces seeing how far all of the children have come from attending lunch clubs this year. Well done everyone and thank you to Miss Ellie for facilitating it!
Do you brush your teeth?
This week in Crew we have been exploring the importance of brushing our teeth, daily. We explored the effects of different drinks on our teeth by using eggs, the shell is similar to our tooth enamel. We placed an egg in water, dilute juice and a fizzy drink. We were shocked to see how the dilute juice impacted the egg shell, causing it to dissolve. This reiterated how important to brush our teeth twice a day, before bed and in the morning. It was fascinating to watch how the shells dissolved and made some really strange formations after just leaving it in the liquid for a day. Imagine not brushing your teeth for a day!
Rangoli Patterns
Yesterday in expedition, our case study three, Hinduism, we began looking at Rangoli patterns. Today we explored mixing primary, secondary and tertiary colours.
Y5/6 Cricket Tournament
On Wednesday it was a lovely afternoon to play a game of cricket! We thoroughly enjoyed playing and displayed great sportsmanship, as always, against the 5 other schools. Preston stood out and was my player of the match! We all definitely showcased skills learnt in PE lessons!
Some lovely moments captured…
“Team work makes the dream work” – Preston
“As long as we try our best” – Alicia
“Believe in yourself” – Jude
Thats it for another year of sports tournaments – go team Carcroft!

Dare you venture into the Jungle?
Today, we were very lucky to take part in a wonderful experience brought to us by M&M productions, The Jungle Book. Many of us knew the story of Mowgli and it was fantastic to see the story brought to life!
Islamic Art work
Today we created our Islamic tiles. We have been exploring the work of William Morris, a British designer who used lots of patterns in his artwork. We were lucky to hear from our very own expert, Mr Hull, about William Morris’ art work as he has visited his house to have a look at some very exciting pieces. We used techniques previously taught to design our own tiles which will have a very special home in a local mosque.
Hooking into our writing!
Over the next two weeks in Crew MW, we are going to be story writers! We’re looking at the story, ‘Pirates Love Underpants!’ This morning, we’ve got into character as pirates, hopped on our pirate ship, and travelled across the ocean until we heard the captain shout, ‘land ahoy!’ Once we had all jumped off the ship, we explore the island that we found, and used our notice lens to describe what we could see. We can’t wait to write the first part of our story!
Athlete visit: Rebekah Green
We are excited to announce that this years athlete visiting school is Rebekah Green.
Rebekah has been kayaking for around 8 years, 4 of which have been in a playboat. Rebekah trains regularly at her local venue, Lee valley White Water Centre and also works at Above and Below Kayak retailer store on site
Until last year Rebekah had only ever competed in k1, but the opportunity of a new women’s category and the encouragement from team mates Ottie and Tamsyn inspired Rebekah to convert an old kayak into a c1.
Although this discipline ‘is challenging’ Rebekah has really enjoyed the process of progression, especially while training in the worlds feature at Holme Pierrepont.
Rebekah will be visiting school Monday 1st July!
Please bring sponsor forms in by Friday 28th June 10am, so it gives time to calculate the money and organise everything.
