How to be a Roman soldier – Plot point 3 ✏️

20th September 2023Kate Thompson

This morning we started writing plot point 3. First, we discussed what we was going to be writing about and picked out the important information from our text. We then chotted our ideas about the strict Roman disciplines and wrote a shared write together. We focussed on including fronted adverbials and coordinating conjunctions and came up with some fantastic examples of these. The writing Crew Thompson produced today was fantastic!

Reading Volunteers Wanted!

7th September 2023Sophie Elmer

Hello Everyone! 

We are yet again looking for some volunteers (across all crews) to come into school and listen to some children read on a 1:1 basis. 

Scarily, 1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to read well, resulting in life long consequences. It is our mission at Carcroft to ensure that all of our children leave our school able to read well. 

If you have some time to spare, a day, a few hours or even an hour, and enjoy spending time with children then we would love it if you could come and help us to support our children with reading. 

We hope that from this experience our children will become better readers and develop a stronger love for reading and for you to gain an enormous amount of pleasure from seeing the difference that a few hours can make to a child’s reading ability, confidence and enjoyment. 

Ideally we would appreciate volunteers giving us their time for as long as possible, however if you are only able to commit to a few weeks or months then please do not hesitate to enquire. 

If you feel like this is something that you can offer then please pop into the school office who will be able to provide you with more details. 

We look forward to hearing from you. 

Mrs Elmer (English Lead)

Knucklebones!

4th September 2023Kate Thompson

As part of hook week, this afternoon we made some knucklebones. We moulded clay into small pieces and shaped them to resemble knucklebones. Then, we came up with some rules on how to play knucklebones. We are super excited to play the knucklebone game tomorrow!
