Shin pads
I lent out shin pads to children in our last football tournament that we competed in a few months ago. If you have a pair at home please can you send them back to school as they are needed for our next tournament.
Thank you
Miss Marsh
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside!
What a fantastic day we had at the seaside! The weather was on our side as we enjoyed a dry day in Cleethorpes.
We explored the beach, collecting treasure we found such as sand, shells and seaweed to bring back to the classroom to support our Expedition learning.
On our walk towards the pier we were lucky enough to catch the Coastguards working on their equipment. They very kindly showed us some of their equipment and explained what used it for.
After a picnic on the beach we went on the hunt for an ice cream whilst taking in the sights and sounds of the coastline – delicious!
The children represented Carcroft School brilliantly and thoroughly enjoy their day.
Crew FE would like to say a huge thank you to our parents and staff in school for ensuring the day could go ahead.

Picnic Planning in Crew FE
The children in Crew FE have had a jam packed day – literally!
We began the day by thinking about what we would choose to take in a picnic to the seaside, and why some items would be better suited than others. The children quickly decided that items such as tins of beans wouldn’t be any good in our picnic as we probably wouldn’t have anywhere to cook them! Children had lots of ideas of what they would like to take such as apples, oranges, donuts and sandwiches and we discussed which would be the healthier choices.
After that, we put our spreading skills to the test and made some delicious jam sandwiches! There were some great discussions about how to use the knife safely and the different shapes we could cut the sandwich into. Then came the best bit – eating them!
iPad Scheme – Important Update
A high number of student iPads are being returned to the Edutech workshop with damaged screens. Our insurers are now implementing a £50 excess to any claims for broken screens where a screen protector is not applied to the device.
Parents will be liable to pay this excess if screen protectors are not applied.Â
All iPads were issued with a screen protector when you received them, If for any reason you do not have a screen protector please inform the school admin team.
Screen protectors and devices form part of our crew equipment check process so this is the responsibility of students and parents to ensure devices are appropriately protected.Â
EYFS have some exciting news.
Â
Next week we will be having an upgrade to our outdoor play area. YIPEE! This does mean that the playground will be closed to parents and children for approximately 12 school days. Therefore we have some changes to dropping off and picking up your children.
From Tuesday morning please can you make your way down the driveway (towards Little Oaks Nursery). Your child will come into school through the door next to the kitchen. There will be staff around on Tuesday to support you if you are unsure where to go.Â
We’ve also made some tweaks to pick up times to prevent any congestion. Pick up times from Tuesday 3rd May will be as follows until the work is complete:
Nursery – 2.45pmÂ
Crew Evans – 2.50pmÂ
Crew Ferguson – 3.00pm
Thank you for your understanding and we can’t wait to share the final result with you once the work is complete.

Crew Welburn, Crew Longley and Crew Godley Trip
As part of our Summer Term expedition, we would like to take the opportunity to take our KS1 children to the Beamish Museum in Durham. The visit will be a full day where the children will have the opportunity to see what school was like if they were five or six years old in the past. Children will also have the opportunity to discover the games of the playground and take part in an infant lesson in the kindergarten of a Victorian school. Beamish also presents a unique insight into the living and working experiences of life in the Great North offering unrivalled learning opportunities.
Please ensure that children are wearing school uniforms and sensible shoes. Children will also need to bring a water bottle.
The children will be provided with a packed lunch from school.
The trip is on Wednesday 15th June 2022. The coach will collect us from school at 8:00am and it will return at approximately 5:00pm depending on the traffic.
Children will need to be at school by 7:45am
Please note: All monies and consents need to be completed and paid via Parentpay no later than Wednesday 8th June 2022.
The cost of the trip is £20.00. We are asking parents to pay £10.00 per child and the school will subsidise the remainder of the cost. Unfortunately, if we don’t receive enough money the trip will not go ahead.
We are looking forward to an exciting day. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
Yours faithfully,
KS1 Crew
