Carcroft Candy Shop

9th February 2025Hannah McLoughlin

Check out our successful applicants! At the start of term, these Year 6 children successfully applied as Tuck shop coordinators – it was a tough decision as lots of children expressed their interest in the position but these application forms stood out, as they did not just list their strengths they backed these up with examples. They have been outstanding in their role this term and what a great experience! They will be writing their CV before we know it!

Remember to visit our tuck shop, on every Thursday in the Foyer.

Building Shelters

8th February 2025Ruth Shields

Survival 10! In Scotties, children learned what they’d need to do if they ever needed to survive in the wilderness. Children worked in groups to build themselves a shelter. They had to find a suitable place to pitch their shelter and worked together to get it up and find some seating for inside. Great team effort from all.

Crew Challenge

8th February 2025Ruth Shields

There is nothing like a good crew challenge to start the day. Children worked in groups of 3 or 4 and they had to hold as many pieces of paper as they could. However, the piece of paper couldn’t touch another piece and they had to hold it between different body parts such as knees, head or hands. One group managed to hold 5 pieces.

Personal Development

18th December 2024Hannah McLoughlin

Y6 got the opportunity to apply for a position that was advertised: Carcroft Tuck Shop Coordinator. The children were taught how to apply for a job, relating it to the real world, using the job description to help fill in individual application forms. The well deserved 3 children were successful and application forms have been saved for the next coordinators in March. Watch this space for the Carcroft Tuck Shop to have its grand opening next year!

Christmas singing at China Cottage

10th December 2024Sarah Mcglone

I had the pleasure of taking Crew Elmer to our local care home China Cottage to sing a number of Christmas songs for their residents. It was a really lovely morning and the children made me very proud. They have worked so hard on practising the songs and they sang so beautifully. The residents joined in and it brought a smile to every face in the room. The children were then treated to a little gift that had been wrapped by the residents themselves, handed out by Santa and his elf. Thank you so much to the team at China Cottage for allowing us to come and spread some Christmas joy, and for all their hard work looking after the wonderful residents in their care. Wishing everyone at China Cottage a very merry Christmas!
