Carcroft School

Tempest photographers will be in school on Tuesday 5th October. All children will have their photograph taken individually, along with their siblings within school. A proof will be sent home at a later date with your child if you wish to purchase. There is no obligation to buy. Unfortunately on this occasion we cannot accommodate siblings from home.

Join us and get your tickets here!

Absence

Please can you ensure you call the school office on 01302 722353 choosing option 1 to leave a message if your child is going to be absent from school. You must call every day your child is absent.

Contact information

Self-isolate straight away and get a PCR test (a test that is sent to the lab) on GOV.UK as soon as possible if you have any of these 3 symptoms of COVID-19, even if they are mild:

• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

You should also self-isolate straight away if:

• you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 – this means you have the virus
• someone you live with has symptoms or tested positive (unless you are not required to self-isolate – check below if this applies to you)
• you’ve been told to self-isolate following contact with someone who tested positive – find out what to do if you’re told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS COVID-19 app

Information: 

You may need to quarantine when you arrive in England from abroad. Check the quarantine rules when entering England on GOV.UK

When you do not need to self-isolate

If someone you live with has symptoms of COVID-19, or has tested positive for COVID-19, you will not need to self-isolate if any of the following apply:

• you’re fully vaccinated – this means 14 days have passed since your final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine given by the NHS
• you’re under 18 years, 6 months old
• you’re taking part or have taken part in a COVID-19 vaccine trial
• you’re not able to get vaccinated for medical reasons

This week we worked together to build a fire so that we could enjoy some fresh popcorn!

Another week in Crew Fox completed✅! We’ve had a shorter week, missing Monday and this meant we were quite unsettled on Tuesday. Our HOWL averages were not the best at the start of the week and we’ve focused on being kind to our classroom and resources, and also focusing on our learning at all times. It has been a tough week but we have had had some great learning opportunities.

Our experience day in Expedition gave us an insight into life during the Industrial Revolution. We used our drama skills to act out cleaning in the mill, they were scavengers themselves, retrieving cotton and wool from under a pretend loom.

We engaged with our train expert Martin, and now have lots of information!

Our HOWL average was 2.4. Next week, our target is to really focus and remember to refocus when we go off task and continuing to take care of our classroom and looking after equipment.

Happy weekend everyone, have a lovely break.
