This week in Crew Tucker… 10/9/21

We’ve had another fantastic week in Crew Tucker with lots of great learning taking place both inside and outside the classroom.

Our highlight of the week has to be our visit to Murton Park, York where the children spent the day experiencing what life was like for a Viking. Dressed to impress, the children learnt how to be handle weapons to guard the village, made bread using Viking recipes and techniques and created pottery which we have brought back to school to display in our classroom.

If you haven’t seen it, click play on the video below to see photos and videos from our trip. If you’ve seen it already, watch it again as it really was an amazing day!

This week also saw our class celebrate our very first Learning Legend. This award went to none other than… Rome Wilson! Rome has made a brilliant start to his time in Year 3 and has demonstrated his determination to work hard to get smart in all lessons. He has created some beautiful work, particularly in Art where he has shown a real flare for the subject; his clay dragon eye is truly impressive!

Each and every member of our crew has worked incredibly hard this week. Starting Key Stage Two can be a challenge but they have risen to this and excelled our expectations. Keep up the hard work Crew Tucker.

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you all bright and early on Monday morning.

1 Week back and 16 new children join Carcroft School

Viking Learning in Year 3: A fantastic visit to Murton Park

What an amazing day Year 3 have had on their visit to Murton Park!


The children spent the day fully immersed in the life of a Viking by becoming Vikings themselves! Dressed to impress, the children were invited to join a Viking Village and learnt how to make bread, make pottery, gather fire wood and become warriors to defend the village from Anglo-Saxon attacks. 


The children behaved impeccably and had so much fun. They made us all proud and demonstrated how working hard to get smart doesn’t just happen in the classroom. 

The pictures below will give you a flavour for our day, but look out for the video we will be posting soon with even more pictures and videos!

Challenging Learning

This morning I have seen many classes getting smart. They have been solving challenging maths questions, writing using high level punctuation and sharpening their art skills with critique. Well done guys!

School Fun

These children were enjoying the new play gym while showing off their great new uniforms.
