Happy Birthday Roald Dahl 🥳

13th September 2023Ruth Shields

Today, we celebrated Roald Dahl. An author we’ll all be familiar with and no doubt spent time reading his wonderful books.

I shared an extract of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which is my favourite Roald Dahl book. We learned about his life and discovered that he invented a medical device which he gave to the NHS for free. A device still used to help lots of people.

Children were then able to choose an activity related to Roald Dahl. They could do some mindful colouring of quotes by Roald Dahl, acrostic poems, design a new front cover for their favourite book or design a sweet as if they were Willy Wonka.

Strength and speed

Today the children had a Scotty’s session and Mick definitely put them through their paces. Children had to work in mini crews to either flip huge tyres, carry one, drag a tyre and also drag a casualty to safety. We even had a group doing steps ups while containing a box of tasmanian devils. Some great team work demonstrated today.

Plot point 1 in MI

Today we wrote our first plot point 🙂 We used all the chotting we created yesterday to help us in our shared write then we applied our own ideas to our work. We used the action, notice, hear and feelings lenses to help us to build our sentences.

Carcroft Changemaker

13th September 2023Hannah McLoughlin

Auditions have begun in Crew Mcloughlin – who has what it takes to be a Carcroft Changemaker? We had 8 children go head to head in a battle to win, simply by giving a one minute speech about why they would be good for the role. It all came down to that last vote, it was very close but we have our winner… Alicia.

Well done! I am sure you are going to exceed in your role as Carcroft Changemaker.
