Today we began our new writing unit and made predictions about what we thought might happen in the story. A few eagle eyed children even thought they recognised the story! I can’t wait to see what they all produce this time!

Digital Time Practice
Today in maths we consolidated our learning of the digital clock which we found tricky before half term. Well done to everyone, you worked so hard!
Publishing our Poetry
We have been busy writing our own poems based on “The little boy who cannot see”. We used lots of similes to describe different colours and some amazing onomatopoeia too!
Some of these poems will be printed onto boards for our new eco-garden. Great work CrewRobson!
Letter to Carcroft Parents and Carers
Practicing our fast running!
With the field marked out into lanes, we decided to practise how fast we could run while also learning the importance of staying in our own lane. The children showed good listening skills, waiting to start until they heard “GO!”. There was some fantastic running and listening throughout the activity. We’ve enjoyed the nice weather over the past few days, burning off some energy.
Have a lovely half term 🙂
We’re looking for a Teacher at Green Top!
Cricket Tournament Success!
Huge congratulations to our year 5 and 6 children who brilliantly represented the school at the recent cricket tournament. They all showed fantastic teamwork and sportsmanship!
A special shout-out goes to our year 5/6 girls’ team for an incredible performance bringing home 2nd place ! We are incredibly proud of you all. Well done!

We are writers in Crew White
At the same time as preparing for the rigorous SATs assessments in reading and maths, us Year 6s have been busy producing some high-quality writing. We are currently at our final stage of the writing process, which is publishing our writing. We’ve read suspense stories, planned them, written them, edited and now we are almost ready to present our beautiful work!
After taking inspiration from the short film, ‘Francis’, we wrote sequels. When complete, these will be displayed in Crew White so be sure to pop in to have a look!
