Morning everyone,
This week, I set every crew at CPS a challenge. I wanted each crew to really think about what ‘Working Hard’ at Carcroft Primary looks like. It’s one of those areas that people have different perceptions of what it looks like and I really want to be able to clarify this so that we all have the same understanding.
I asked the children to share their understanding during their phase assembly next week, in the hope that as a whole school, we can create a little video showing everyone what ‘working hard’ looks like for us at CPS and this can be shared with both Parents, Governors and the community so that we all understand.
In order to help the staff and children to work hard, leaders have put together a document which breaks down ‘working hard’ for each stage of the lesson.
Last year, I felt that sometimes, both Teachers and Pupils were not always doing what I would expect them to do at each stage of the lesson and this sometimes meant that the teaching and learning was not always as great as it could have been.
We have changed the structure of our Maths and Writing lessons (The Write Stuff) to fit in with this criteria and I am hoping that the children can see that by following these new structures, everyone can achieve and everyone can be the best they can be!
You can view our expectations for working hard by clinking on this link below.
Supporting Children to work hard and get smart
For 99% of our pupils, I have been blown away by their attitude towards learning since returning, we have a few pupils who still need to keep thinking about our expectations so that they don’t let their crew down.
Keep up the great work CPS!
Miss Laing
