Crew White show courage
This week, Crew White have been learning about Carcroft School’s new character traits: courage, integrity, compassion, quality and craftmanship and respect. These form the foundations of what it is to be a positive member of our crew and our school. We were especially proud of Crew White’s courage this week as they embraced new challenges, shared their ideas openly, and supported one another with real determination.
We looked at what it means to be courageous and role played some examples of behaviours that you might see in our crew.
Testing out our Final Product
Crew Robson have enjoyed testing out their final product this afternoon before we share it with Murton Park.
Super Letter Writing in Crew Colclough
Today I had the pleasure of teaching in Year 4. We were writing the introduction for a formal letter and I was really impressed by the way in which the pupils carefully selected ideas from their support sheets to help them. We worked hard to ensure that our spelling was accurate using the support sheets to help us. I was also blown away by the pupil’s prosody when reading their work aloud at the end.
Art & DT Case Study
Yesterday, Crew Gray started their third and final case study for their rainforest expedition. We began with the exciting task of designing our own picture frames as a class. Then we shifted our focus to learning how to work safely with wood tools, exploring equipment such as vices, saws, and sanding blocks. We discussed responsible handling, protective gear, and how to support one another during practical activities. We can’t wait to see these designs come to life!
Character Traits
Yesterday, Crew Gray launched their character traits and learnt all about what makes a good person. The five character traits were courage, respect, integrity, compassion as well as craftsmanship and quality. Crew Gray explored what the different character traits look like and they pledged to how they are going to demonstrate courage this week.
