We had an amazing day playing 9 other school teams at our football tournament. It was a steady start then we put all our effort in and won out of league 2!!!! We had a few injuries along the way but they were absolute trooper’s! The girls did Carcroft proud and represented their hoWLS throughout! 🤩
On Monday this week, I spent some time in classrooms focussing on our HoWLS. I wanted to see if pupils were working hard to get smart. In particular, I was focussing on whether pupils had a positive attitude towards their learning and whether they were contributing when their Teachers were checking for understanding.
Pupils were focussed and engaged in every classroom. School was extremely calm and allowed for high quality Maths and English teaching to take place. Every pupil demonstrated at least ‘secure’ HoWLs with many demonstrating ‘Great’ HoWLs.
Foundation stage had circled up to reflect upon their HoWLs for the day before heading out into their beautiful new playground to burn off some of that Monday energy.
I spotted Y1 pupils getting smart in Maths by working together to understand how they can use their Maths knowledge to solve problems and our Y2’s were learning how to tell the time, in order to get smart.
In Crew Boswell, there was a fabulous buzz for learning when estimating angles. Children were showing such amazing attitudes towards learning.
Crew MI were working hard on their writing when I dropped in. The pupils were extremely focussed on getting smart using their writing plans during the time I was in.
Whilst in Crew Fox the pupils were drafting a stunning piece of writing using the Y6 framework to ensure it was of a high quality.
Both Crew Marsh and Crew Shields were checking out for the day. I loved listening in to the children’s reasoning behind their HoWLs, they articulated this so well referring back to their school day. Simply beautiful everyone!
What a lovely afternoon Mr Sharp and I had visiting our classrooms.
GATES WILL OPEN AT 12.30PM TO ENSURE THERE ISN’T A SURGE OF PEOPLE QUEUING AT 1PM. CLASSROOM DOORS WILL SHUT AND GATES WILL BE LOCKED AT 1.10PM TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. CHILDREN WILL BE SIGNED OUT OF CLASS OVER TO THEIR RESPONSIBLE ADULT BEFORE THEY ATTEND THE PICNIC.
Colin’s Ice’s will be attending, therefore if you are unable to attend you are welcome to send your child/ren with some money to purchase an ice-cream. Your child will be responsible for looking after this so it would be useful if you sent it in a named envelope.
Carcroft School would like to invite our pupils’ parents/carers to the Big Royal Picnic to celebrate, Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
It will take place on Thursday 26th May 2022 from 1.00pm until 2.45pm on the school field.
Please bring a picnic and a blanket (no alcohol, vapes, smoking or dogs permitted on site). All children who usually have a dinner including the children who normally have packed lunches and have paid for a dinner will be provided with the thematic lunch that they have ordered to bring out to the picnic. All other children should bring their packed lunch as usual.
The children will be given a ticket to enable them to collect their picnic food outside from our wonderful cooks.
The dress code is red, white and blue (children can attend in these colours during the day). There will be a Royal Parade for our children if they would like to dress as a King or Queen for the day. Who will be chosen as the Jubilee Carnival King and Queen?
Activities will be taking place during the picnic, including;
-Design a crown
-Bouncy castle
-Face painting
-Music and games
-Ice cream van (please bring money to purchase this)
Over the past week, we’ve been practicing our super scooting skills! After having Chris come to visit us and teach us some new tricks, we’ve really enjoyed being able to practice these skills at break and lunch times – look at those smiles 😁
Thank you to all of our families for joining our grand opening of our brand new outdoor area. The children absolutely LOVE it! We are looking forward to taking our learning outside and enjoying the lovely summer weather.
The children in EYFS had a special visitor recently! They were very lucky to be able to attend a real Punch and Judy puppet show from Mr Dan. His puppet character friends were so funny, they made us laugh so much! We used what we had learned in the classroom in our small world area where we created our own puppets and puppet shows, building on our story telling and speaking and listening skills.
The area is finally ready!!
We would like to invite you to a stay and explore session with your child at either 8.45am or 2.15pm on Monday 23rd May.
Feel free to attend either session with your child. Staff will be around to speak to and guide children into school in the morning and then out of school for home in the afternoon.
You will be able to look around our exciting new area and explore the wonderful equipment with your child. We will be greeting all parents and children at the normal blue gates (front of school) at both times, where the ribbon will be cut and the area will be open for the children to explore.
The children will then be dropped off and picked up from the main blue gates after the opening.
Important information
The new equipment installed is specifically designed for children working in the EYFS (between 3 and 6 years of age). This means that unfortunately, older children are not permitted to use the equipment due to height and weight restrictions. We kindly ask that when dropping off and collecting your child from the EYFS, older siblings DO NOT climb or play on the equipment due to health and safety reasons. We also ask that EYFS children do not play on the equipment before or after school. The local park is a short walk away if your child would like to play on park equipment out of school hours. To ensure that the new equipment is only used during school hours by EYFS children, members of school staff will monitor the playground and ask children to come off the playground equipment if they are seen playing on it. We thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
Thank you for your support, we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
