Thursday 7th September FS1 Stay and engage
We all had a wonderful day introducing our parents to all the different activities available at our nursery! We had the chance to make bird feeders, explore the wood and take part in a nature treasure hunt! Well done FS1!
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.

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!
Today in our experience lesson we made bread in the bakery, the first stop of the Great fire of London.
We have loved our first football club today, thanks coach 🥰
To end our week of kindness crew Marsh took theirs kindness stones and books to the local woods for children in the community to find and take home to read. We hope it has put a smile on a lot of families faces.
Building on yesterdays learning, today we have learnt how to tell the time to the nearest half past. Again, we were fab at it!
In maths today we learned how to tell the time to the nearest hour, I was blown away with how quickly the children could tell the time and show me it on their clocks. Super work today Crew Marsh, tomorrow we go again with half past!
I loved meeting my new crew on Tuesday and finding out different things about everyone. We firstly wrote our names and I was very impressed with how hard everybody worked. We then took part in a marshmallow challenge, where we had to build a structure so the egg would not smash. We also went on an outdoor scavenger hunt and then finished off our day drawing self portraits.
It was a very busy today but I look forward to teaching and getting to know the children more next year.
