Red Nose Day
This week, we have been baking and decorating some cupcakes for Red Nose Day, and while doing this, we had discussions around fundraising and how baking and selling was one of the many ways we could raise money. We used visuals and videos to explain what Comic Relief is, and the children completed tasks based on money and feelings.

Mother’s Day
Last week the children created beautiful Mother’s Day cards using their own handprints to form bright, blooming flowers, each one as unique as the child who made it. They also explored paint blowing, carefully guiding colours across the page to create some unique shapes. As they worked, we spoke about the special people in their lives—mums, grandmothers, and other loved ones. Showing off there progress with writing inside the cards themselves.
Designing Logos…
We learned about logos, designed one and painted it before sending them off to Comms to be made into a Podcast Logo. The winning entry was Alyssa with her beautiful, symmetric Butterfly! Her pointillism technique was amazing just like everyone else’s logos in Crew Ramsay. Here is our beautiful work…
POL In Crew Ramsay!
We loved presenting our learning to families and friends yesterday and the children took such pride in their product. We hope our parents and carers were just as proud and loved listening to our podcast. We are proud to say we now have our own Carcroft Spotify channel for future expeditions across school!

papier-mâché Easter crafts
Adam and Emily happily kicked off their Easter crafts with a fun papier-mâché session, filling the classroom with laughter and creativity. Using newspaper and paste, they shaped Easter eggs over balloons.
By the end, their eggs were full of charm, and the morning was bright, creative, and full of smiles.
