We are Geographers
This week we have worked hard on our map skills using atlases. We have learnt where we live in the world, where Afghanistan is and what the countries around it are. Today we have looked at Kabul in a lot more detail to find out what it looks like there and what human and physical features there are.

What a busy start to our week, celebrating everything great about maths 🧮 🧠
We have kick-started our active maths by investigating place value and number facts to solve problems. The crew agreed on an ‘Activity Challenge’. Our favourite was how many ⭐️ jumps can you do in 1 minute ⏱ ? Jake achieved 75! We estimated, counted our actual, recorded and discussed positions 🥇. So many skills involved 🧠
This week, sees our Walkathon 🏃♀️ event taplace. We have our fingers crossed for good weather so that we can complete our 100 laps and have some fun in the process. Please could we ask that any sponsor money be sent to school this week.
Have a great week everyone ☺️
Celebrating Learning
It was great to walk around school today and see a celebration board outside every classroom in school. The staff and children have worked together to create a showcase of their learning so far this year. Great work Carcroft School.

Our final week this half term has been lovely. All the children thoroughly enjoyed our experience day about Afghanistan. We wanted to allow the children to experience what a typical day could be like in Afghanistan. We researched where Afghanistan is located, the capital city and how to greet somebody in Pashto. This experience day is in preparation for us to answer the second half of our Guiding Question Coming to Doncaster: why then and why now? Children will be learning about why people why move to Doncaster and seek refuged.
Watch out for our experience day video!
We hope you have a lovely half term and we look forward to seeing all the children back at school on Monday 1st November

Year 5 Crew Changes
Dear Parents and Carers,
This half-term, we have organised Year 5 into two larger crews with an additional teacher shared between both classes working with small groups and children on a 1:1 basis. This has helped Year 5 make a positive start to the new academic year and has meant we have been able to provide targeted support to really push the children’s learning on, ensuring they are fully ready to succeed in Year 5. .
After half-term, we have made the decision to return Year 5 to three smaller crews – Crew Shields, Crew MI and Crew Boswell – for the remainder of the academic year. This model worked successfully in Year 4.
Each crew will have their own dedicated teacher who will be able focus their teaching on a smaller class group and continue to build on the strong, positive relationships they have developed with the children this half-term.
Crew MI and Crew Boswell will remain in their existing Year 5 classrooms and Crew Shields will move into one of our upstairs classrooms. As a result of this move, Crew Shields will enter and leave school via the entrance to the left of the main office which is currently used by Year 3 and 4 after half-term.
Parents of children in Year 5 will receive a message today via ParentPay confirming which crew their child will be in and which of the three classrooms will be their crew base. The children have circled up to share this news and are excited to start next half-term in their new crews.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support. As always, all decisions made are done so in the best interests of our children and to ensure we are able to provide the very best possible education for them.
Yours faithfully,
James Tucker
Bananas for Baking!
This week in Crew Nursery we have been talking about healthy and unhealthy foods, we started the week baking some tasty treats – chocolate crispy cakes and buns with icing and sprinkles!
Today we talked about some healthy ingredients we could use to bake, the children chose to use banana and raisins, so we made banana, raisin bread!
The children worked hard to measure, mix and mash the ingredients and were so excited to see the finished result. I hope it tasted as yummy as it looked!
Crew Fox wc 27.9.21
Week 5 completed in Crew Fox ✅.
We’ve got better this week at editing our writing and checking our content with a peers support. This is taking us a bit of time to get used to but we’re getting there! We are also working hard in our pairs across the different subjects. This is getting better as we are trying to focus more and work better with one another…
During maths, we’ve used Kahoot quizzes to time ourselves when answering questions. This is going to help us improve our pace! We are also getting quicker at our magic math sessions, working on our counting, place value and other arithmetic skills!
Today was our second session of Scotty’s Heroes. We are getting fitter physically and mentally after these sessions… it’s tough but we are loving it 😅
Our HOWL average was 2.2 (beating last weeks 2.1) which means we get to spin the wheel for a reward!!
Have a great weekend everyone,
Mrs Fox 🦊
