During their time in EYFS, Year 2 created a beautiful banner which was brought to life by our Comms Team. This was their first full year in school and they worked so hard to create this to show what a great place Carcroft Primary is. It shows they Worked Hard, to Get Smart and most importantly Be Kind to one another. The children collaboratively designed the banner and with the help of our wonderful families kindly donating to help us print it, creating a lasting legacy for all to see. I wonder if you can spot it on the way into school in the morning 🙂
In Crew this week, we started to celebrate the Queens life. Various facts about the Queen were outside of the classroom. Children worked in mini crews, one being the researcher (they had to nip outside, read the information and bring facts back.) They shared this will another crew member who added this to their paper. In our debrief, we shared the facts we had gathered about the Queens life and discussed the importance of doing this.
In Citizenship Crew, we were targeting certain gender stereotypes in different careers. The children were asked to draw a soldier and name them (without given the purpose of this activity). Children were then asked to watch a video clip around gender stereotypes. It opened our eyes up to see that out of 17 drawings, only one was drawn as a girl. In our debrief, we shared our own career ambitions and how gender shouldn’t guide this.
In celebration Friday crew, we chose work we were proud of and placed these on our desks for all to see. We then did a gallery walk of our beautiful work(hoping it would be framed in the Beautiful Work display, which is yet to be confirmed). Brooklyn won for most improved handwriting this week!
We have had a busy week of working hard in our Reading, Writing and Expedition lessons. We have blown Miss away with our narrative writing! Our HoWLs are also really improving and we are reflecting everyday to become even better! 🤩
EYFS Crew were showing good listening in their crew circle. It was lovely to meet your ‘Everywhere Bear’.
Y2’s were showing how they can get smart by working independently whilst Miss Robson was working with a group on the carpet… who were also really focused. Super maths work today.
Y1’s were all participating with counting forwards and backwards in Crew Marsh. Great work!
This morning in Crew we had come positive post it time. Children were given a name of another child in their crew and they had to praise them for something they’d done this week. This ensured that all crew members were praised and recognised for the things they properly do without even thinking. It was so lovely to hear the things they had said about each other such as, being mature, being resilient, always trying their best, being funny, helping each other when they are stuck or even during football. There were definitely lots of smiles during our Crew session this morning.

Today in music we have continued to look at making beats with our percussion instruments. We started off by working with a partner to create patterns and then repeat them back to one another. We then started to learn our new song ’I Wanna Be In A Band’.
Today the children in crew nursery have made their own crew bear. We lovingly stuffed him and made sure we placed a loving heart inside. Each crew member will get the opportunity to take the bear home and have wonderful adventures. We cant wait to read all about what he gets up to.
Crew Shields have been working well in PE today as they worked on their sportsmanship. It was lovely to see them working together and encouraging each other. We have been working on listening skills so it was great to see them following the instructions carefully. Good job Crew!
