Carcroft School

Today we have had lots of fun with the parachute during crew. We did a parachute dance to the music and followed the instructions we heard. We had the pleasure of being joined by James from Year 4, who was a fantastic photographer for us whilst we did this!

We really enjoyed having James with us, especially when he played with us in provision! We were chasing him all around the playground and we found it really funny when he went to hide in the mud box! Thank you for coming to spend the morning with us James! 😁

We spent the morning making our healthy pizzas, ready for our parents to come in and taste them with us! We started by washing our hands and making sure that everything we needed was clean and ready to use. We chose different toppings that needed cutting and used our cutting skills to make them easier to put on our bases. Then, we added the sauce to our base before adding the cheese and the toppings we had prepared.

Once we added our toppings, Miss McGlone put them in the oven. Look how yummy they looked when they came out!

When our grown ups arrived it was finally time for the taste test – we had waited all morning for this moment! It was worth it because they tasted delicious! 😋

So that we could make healthy pizzas, we needed to visit Carcroft Stores to gather all of our ingredients. We needed to get wraps for the base, passata for the sauce, as well as all of the toppings we wanted! We made sure we had our baskets and trolleys ready to fill with lots of items before taking them to the cashier so we could pay and pack our items into our bags.

As we continued with our expedition, we talked about different foods and drinks that are healthy and good for our bodies and things that are not so good if we have a lot of them regularly.

We’ve been discussing the different sounds we might hear in our environment. We wrapped up warm and decided to go on a sound hunt around our outdoor area. It was a little bit quiet at first and all we could hear were the birds tweeting in the trees but then we started to hear more and more sounds around us – cars and vans, a dog barking, the older children playing on their playground, and even a plane in the sky! The loudest sound we heard was the fan from the kitchen, we huddled around the gate to get a closer look at where the noise was coming from!
