A Visitor in Crew Nursery!

1st December 2021Rebecca Chapman

A very special visitor has joined our crew! The children have decided to call him Stripes and he is our Kindness Elf.

Stripes will be staying with us throughout December and looking out for the children’s acts of kindness, he will keep note of these in his special book and we will share them during crew time.

Today, Stripes noticed Kai and Ralphie working really hard together to sweep up the sand, Jackson was very kind and helped Leon to zip up his coat and Layla shared the ball with Daliyah.

Well done for being kind!

Experimenting in expedition

Exploring filtering and dissolving in Y6 expedition this afternoon.

We are Geographers

18th November 2021Lauren Marsh

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.

Experimenting with dissolving

11th November 2021Olivia Fox

We have explored the different solutes that can be dissolved to become a solution this week. We realised that the hotter the temperature of the soluble, the quicker the materials dissolve and become a solution. Here we are experimenting with coffee and cold water. It looked like the solute had dissolved, but when we looked closer, there were still parts of the solute (coffee) at the bottom of the jar! 

Crew Godley

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.
