These four children have successfully completed our Willy Wonka reading challenge and have read 30 times this half term. Enjoy your rewards!
During this focused activity, the children’s early phonic awareness was assessed and further developed. The children were challenged to sort a range of familiar objects according to two initial sounds they have been learning through the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme.
This activity provided a valuable opportunity to observe the children’s ability to listen attentively, recognise initial sounds and apply their growing phonics knowledge with confidence. The children demonstrated strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they discussed their choices and organised the objects appropriately.
Activities such as this highlight the importance of secure foundational phonics skills and how these can be applied meaningfully to support future reading and writing development. We were extremely impressed with the progress the children have made and the confidence they showed throughout the task. Well Done Crew Frost. Keep up the hard work.














We are on a mission in to make our tricky words STICK! We are constantly exposed to these in the class environment but need to also spell them at home. Please test your child on these at home to make sure they STICK! Here we are as proud as can be with our lovely spellings.














Crew Ramsay have been developing our vocabulary by using thesauruses! We are eager to broaden our range of vocab by learning tier two words which better articulate our ideas. Here we are exploring the wonderful world of words!!












CrewRobson have really embraced the reading for pleasure time after lunch each day.
Crew Ramsay loved going under the tables and cosying down in the pillows to enjoy some reading with Year 5. As we get more and more familiar, we are really beginning to bond with our buddies and grow as little people. Crew goes beyond the year groups at Carcroft as we are learning in Year Two!




Crew White are enjoying our new class library. There are lots of books thanks to our new ‘book swap’ scheme. We bring books in that we know will interest other classmates and share them on the book shelf. We have a mixture of non-fiction, fiction and First News. Football magazines are very popular right now!
This supports our target of reading more at home. If you want to find out more about the class library, come to Year 6.
The more you read, the more you know, the more you know, the more places you’ll go.



Crew Ramsay headed down to crew Barber to narrate our very own character-driven narratives to a real audience! We took so much pride in our work and loved performing as storytellers. Here we are in action…












Crew Ramsay and Crew Mcloughlin have been buddying up for weeks now to share stories and bond over books! We absolutely love our quality time with our reading buddies. Here we are sharing stories.
