Red Nose Day Fun!
To celebrate Red Nose Day, our school turned fundraising into a splash of fun! Mr Williamson bravely faced the challenge of being squirted with red paint, all in the name of raising money for a great cause. Laughter and a whole lot of red made it an afternoon to remember! Thank you to everyone who joined in and supported.
How much sleep do we need?
This week in crew, we’ve been exploring the importance of sleep and how it helps our bodies and minds stay healthy. We’ve learned how a good night’s sleep can improve concentration, mood, and energy levels, as well as support growth and overall well-being. Did you know that children should be getting at least ten hours a sleep per night! Oliver was excited to share that he does and loves a good nights sleep!
Pancake day came early to Crew MI
As it was Mrs Ibbotson’s last day in Crew MI today, we had a pancake party! We linked this to our work around measures and fractions in maths. We throughly enjoyed the eating part.
Crew – Bullying
In crew, we’ve been learning about bullying and the impact it has on the children that have to endure it . We discussed the different types of bullying such as physical, emotional or cyber. It was great to hear the discussion between the children and their understanding of the fact bullying is something that happens over time and not just a one off.
Silent Line up
This morning in Crew we were set a challenge to line up with a predetermined characteristic but we weren’t allowed to speak. We had to order ourselves in height, shoe size and hair length. We worked in 2 groups which worked very differently. One group had 2 children who took a lead and directed the rest of the children with hand signals or guiding them to where they needed to be. The other group figured it out between them and didn’t have anyone that appeared to be leading the rest of them, however, both groups were successful.
Staying Safe Online – Don’t Talk to Strangers!
In todays Crew session we explored online safety. We all agreed that the internet is an amazing place to learn, play, and connect with friends, but it’s important to stay safe! Just like in real life, never talk to strangers online. If someone you don’t know messages you, don’t reply—tell a trusted adult instead. Never share personal information like your name, school, or address, and always be careful about what you post. Mason then created some wonderful, informative slides, to share with his peers.
Remember: If something doesn’t feel right, speak up! Stay smart, stay safe, and enjoy the internet responsibly.
Carcroft Candy Shop
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.
Y6 Crucial Crew
Today we have participated in various scenarios in order to keep us as children safe. Here’s a few snippets of what we got up to…
Building Shelters
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.
