In one of the LKS2 maths groups, we have been working really hard on Place Value, understanding how many tens and ones there are in a number. This young man has worked so hard and is feeling very proud of himself. We are all very proud of you!
I know we have only just finished with Halloween, and some people may not be ready for this just yet…. but Christmas preparations have now begun here at Carcroft School! Christmas will soon be upon us and with that in mind we need to begin our Christmas Fayre prep ASAP. So, this Friday 4th November, children are invited into school in non-uniform but in return, we are asking for donations for our tombola stall and Carcroft famous bottle stall ie: toiletries, shampoo, bubble bath, bottles of water, bottles of juice etc
We can’t wait to get our Christmas Fayre back up and running as we know how much our children and families love it. Thank you in advance for anything you can donate, we really do appreciate your support.
Monday 7th November
The children have had a fantastic time dancing the night away💃 It was so lovely to see so many children in the halloween spirt 🎃👻🧙♀️
MI started to explore the front cover and blurb of our new text. We explored the layout thinking about what the text may be about. We then worked collaboratively in a vocabulary challenge where we matched words from the front cover to definitions. We then linked this back to our guiding question and expedition. We then made predictions based on the front cover thinking about what we may read about, the different sections in the book and linking our ideas to books with similar themes.
The children have been working super hard today in Crew Nursery. They have practiced finding their first name from a selection and then had a go at writing their initial sound using shaving foam. They have loved the experience. We found that it was easier to write using our finger and the shaving foam felt lovely on our hands. Well done everyone. You have really tried hard to get smart today.
This afternoon we discovered a pumpkin in our tuff tray! We asked Miss Welburn to cut a hole in the top so that we could explore what was on the inside…we found lots of slimy, gloopy, gooey pulp to squish between our hands! We also discovered lots of pumpkin seeds inside which we saved to see if new pumpkins will grow from when we plant them outside!
This week in Crew Welburn, we are focussing on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We read in the story that the bears were making porridge for their breakfast, and wondered what this tasted like. We got to work straight away making Mummy Bear’s sweet porridge, Daddy Bear’s plain porridge, and Baby Bear’s porridge that was just right. We had a vote at the end and we decided that most of us preferred Mummy Bear’s sweet porridge! 🥣🐻
Don’t forget to sign up for the Halloween Witches and Wizards disco, taking place tomorrow.
If you would like your child to attend please ensure you have signed up before 3pm today! Unfortunately we can not accept payment any later due to organising refreshments and staffing.
All children will enter through their classroom doors tomorrow for the disco at 3.30pm where they will be registered if payment has been made. We ask that children are collected at 4.30pm from their classroom doors.
Your child should have brought home before the half term their proof photographs. If you would like to purchase them please can payments be returned by Wednesday 2nd November.
Thank you.
