Hello Everyone!
We are looking for some volunteers in Lower Key Stage Two to come into school and listen to some children read on a 1:1 basis.
Scarily, 1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to read well, resulting in life long consequences. It is our mission at Carcroft to ensure that all of our children leave our school able to read well.
If you have some time to spare, a day, a few hours or even an hour, and enjoy spending time with children then we would love it if you could come and help us to support our children with reading.
We hope that from this experience our children will become better readers and develop a stronger love for reading and for you to gain an enormous amount of pleasure from seeing the difference that a few hours can make to a child’s reading ability, confidence and enjoyment.
Ideally we would appreciate volunteers giving us their time until the end of the Summer Term, however if you are only able to commit to a few weeks or months then please do not hesitate to enquire.
If you feel like this is something that you can offer then please pop into school and ask to speak to myself, Mrs Elmer (KS2 Reading Lead) and I will provide you with more details.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Happy Friday! Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

Next Thursday 19th January is the Spring School Census Day. The money the school receive from the government to pay for the schools meals is based on an average of the number of meals taken on the census days in October and January. It would really help us if your child was to have a school meal on this day. To encourage children to join us for school lunch, the cook is offering a special menu with Carcroft’s favourite dinner.
Pizza with chips & beans
Veggie nuggets with chips & beans
Jacket Potato with cheese & beans
Cheese sandwich
If your child usually has a packed lunch and would like to have a dinner on this day please pay on ParentPay.
Thank you.
This week we have been comparing and ordering decimals by working collaboratively. We really enjoyed that it was active and will keep reconsolidating it so it sticks!






In PE, we have been practicing basic retreating motion with basic body kicks.
Some great team work today.

Last week and this week in XP Outdoors and after school club. We have been doing the blindfold challenge. We have looked at two different ones, hug a tree and sensory challenge.















Today in our crew session we watched a clip of the Rosa Parks story. Children were so engaged and the clip generated so many detailed discussions. We were able to think about all the learning we have done in our expeditionary lessons this week and build on these. We discussed some challenging vocabulary, helping each other to understand. A fab crew session MI 🙂
