WOW living streets

Carcroft School has recently signed up to living streets, this is where the children get rewarded for walking to school once a week, every week in a month. The children can then earn a badge each month and hopefully will earn all 11!

Living streets closely links to all of our expeditions: looking at how we can help to protect our planet. Walking to school at least once week is a great way for us to help the world.

Crew MI science lesson

We had a great lesson learning about plants. We actually dissected a flower so we could see the different parts and we labelled them. We learnt about pollination and even acted it out.

Crew MI 21.1.21

We have had a really fun couple of days in Crew MI. We have been reading on Myon and taking our Accelerated Reader quizzes. This a great way for us to improve our fluency and comprehension skills. We have also been battling Crew Boswell and Crew Shields on Timestable Rockstars and have even been practising our arithmetic skills on a kahoot quiz.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome back KS1!

KS1 Crews were so excited to launch their new expeditions this week, ‘The Circle of Life – How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?’

The children were hooked into their learning by working together as artists and sculptors to create their own own ocean dioramas, craft sea creatures and participated in a virtual author workshop to learn how to create some of the beautiful illustrations that we found in our core text ‘The Blue Giant’. We have some budding artists! Keep you eyes peeled for the finished ocean dioramas on Monday!

This week we visit The Deep, in Hull. We can’t wait to go on an ocean adventure!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone 😊

LKS2 Final Product – Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now? (16.12.21)

LKS2 are proud to reveal their final product for their Autumn Expedition, in which the children show of their beautiful work and aim to answer the Guiding Question – Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?

We are really proud of the work and learning that has taken place by all of the children across Year 3 and 4, especially their speaking on this video.

Please also look at the website to see the range of work in the other Case Studies.

COVID CLOSURE: YEAR 5

Dear Parents and Carers,

As you are already aware, we are currently experiencing rapidly rising cases of Covid19 within our Year 5 cohort. You have already been asked to ensure that all children in Year 5 complete a PCR test and that you provide proof of your results to us to share with Public Health Doncaster.

Based on the number of results returning as positive for Covid19, Public Health Doncaster have advised that we close Year 5 one week early. The aim of this is to limit the spread of Covid19 across our school and wider community so that peoples’ Christmas plans are not impacted by the need to isolate on Christmas Day.

To confirm, Year 5 will not return to school next week and will complete learning from home next week.

Staff in school will be spending this afternoon and Monday morning preparing learning activities which will be shared on Google Classroom for those who have devices and delivered to home addresses for those who do not have a device or access to the internet. These activities will be based on what they would have been completing in school and consolidation tasks based on their learning this term.

For those families who are eligible for free school meals, school will be in touch to organise a lunch each day for those not in school. This will likely be in the form of the online vouchers that parents received during the half-term and summer holidays.

Thank you in advance for your continued support and understanding.

Stay safe everyone.

Yours faithfully,

James Tucker

Acting Headteacher

We will update you with a new date as soon as we can.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we are following guidelines in order to try and keep everyone safe.

Creative Crew!

Today in Crew Nursery we have been working hard using different materials to make bear pictures!

We used different shapes to make bear faces.
We used chalks to draw bears and make marks.

Today Stripes the Elf noticed Jenson playing kindly alongside friends in the sand and Lincoln building a train track for his friend when they were upset.
