Beautiful Work This Week

C27: You Give Me Fever

In January 2023, students in Year 9 studied a joint HUMAN and STEAM expedition called ‘You give me fever’ where students had to answer the guiding question:

Is Science enough to save lives?

The final product was a charity drive in order to raise money for local health charities. We did lots of school events in order to raise money for the charity chosen by each school. We conducted a sponsored walk, bake sale, PJ day, sponsored silence and a bikeathon. 

For our presentation of learning, we created short flip book animations that were projected in XP East. There were zones set up outside around XPD made to look like the time periods of each case study (Black Death, Cholera Outbreak, Spanish Flu & Aids). We were dressed up in period costumes and spoke to the audience about the science and history or each case study. Students also displayed their artwork and sketchbooks to showcase the skills they had acquired this term. At the end of the PoL we presented the funds raised for equipment at NHS Doncaster.

Eco Pledges at Frenchgate!

Our Planet Pledge can be seen throughout Frenchgate

It has been wonderful to partner with Frenchgate on this important project – we can’t thank them enough for giving our Schools the opportunity to make their own pledges and display them for all to see within the Centre.

Cricket tournament!

Today, some of our Year 3 and Year 4 children have took part in a cricket tournament. The children showed how well Carcroft School work as a team, and were cheering others on throughout the day. Their crew building and communication skills really shone through today! They got better and better as the day went on and we are sure they will be experts when they have finished doing cricket in PE!

From cloud watchers to weather reporters

We have extended our knowledge from watching and identifying clouds, to making a weather report of our own. We did some research online, watched our local weather reports and then made a draft copy. We then critiqued our draft and made changes to create a final piece which some of us enjoyed filming. I think we may have some future weather reporters in Crew Robson ☀️❄️🌈☔️

Friday 26th May-Non uniform Day

Friday 26th May will be a non uniform day with a £1.00 voluntary contribution. 


All contributions will go towards our school fund pot which covers the cost of lots of things such as our HoWLs rewards, including the inflatable, attendance rewards, theatre productions, bouncy castle rewards and other things such as McDonalds, Y6 SATs breakfast and much more. 


We thank you in advance for any contributions and will continue to use any funds raised during fundraising to provide fun and memorable experiences for the children of Carcroft. 

King Charles has lost his crown 👑

We have been writing about the journey that King Charles took around London to find his missing crown. The children wrote sentences for each step of the journey and then we decided to put together a collection of videos to showcase our final piece! We’re so glad that the King found his crown and as you can see, he’s very happy too! 👑
