In Crew Pashley’s reading group, this morning, Year 3/4 enjoyed spending some free time in the library to read some of their favourite books. The children enjoyed reading books to each other, sharing a book or quietly independently reading.
On Thursday, we celebrated the children in Crew Pashley who have been reading everyday. We celebrated by going outside on the scooters in the sunshine. With our mini first aider, Jenson, keeping everyone safe and keeping plasters close by!
Today, some of our Year 3 and Year 4 children have took part in a cricket tournament. The children showed how well Carcroft School work as a team, and were cheering others on throughout the day. Their crew building and communication skills really shone through today! They got better and better as the day went on and we are sure they will be experts when they have finished doing cricket in PE!
Today in Crew Thompson’s reading group, we solved a jigsaw of the front cover of our new book. We found out that the title is The Pebble in My Pocket and the author is Meredith Hooper. Afterwards, we had a fantastic discussion about what the book could be about and had lots of questions after reading the blurb.
This week, Y3/4 have been writing recounts based on the Disney short animation ’Lava’. All the children have worked super hard to write their recounts, including using amazing adjectives, onomatopoeia and time adverbials. It has been lovely to see how creative our children have been with their writing and how supportive they have been with each other to create lovely recounts.
Wow! What a FANTASTIC day we all had on Friday 5th May 2023 at Carcroft Primary School. Throughout the morning each Crew got to share their British Values Home Learning that they had done! In Crew FE we were blown away with David’s creation which was an AMAZING castle and in Crew Thompson Archie and Charlie took the limelight with their Coronation ceramic plates! Some fabulous work has taken place in lots of homes! Thank you to all of those adults at home who supported with this and to the children for bringing them in for us all to share! At lunchtime we enjoyed all sitting together and having an indoor picnic (thanks to the traditional British weather, what Bank Holiday ever passes without some rainfall!?!). In the afternoon, we then enjoyed creating crowns, flags and other Coronation memorabilia that we got to take home with us to help us to continue the celebrations over the weekend!
Today in Crew Pashley we celebrated Earth Day. This morning in citizenship crew we designed our own recyclable paper bag around sustainability. This afternoon, we concluded our hook week learning by having a family learning event with various activities centred around Earth Day, including a layers of the Earth collage and a cotton bud painting of the Earth.
Another week where we have been able to celebrate lots more Reading Champions in school! It was great to see so many children stood up in Achievers Assembly this week being celebrated for their awesome reading at home. It was lovely to see the beaming smiles on children’s faces and to listen to them talk about how proud they felt. Thank you again to those adults at home who are taking the time to listen to their child/ren read very night.
This week we also celebrated the Crews who collectively read the most at home last week. Crew Marsh won it for KS1 and Crew MI for KS2.
Well done to all of our Reading Champions and their amazing adults at home!
This week we had lots of children who were awarded for reading at home. It is great to see the increase in numbers and how much children are enjoying reading every night at home. BIG thank you to all of those grown ups at home who are spending the time listening to their child/ren read, the benefits are HUGE! After having a peek at some reading records this week it is also great to see the lovely comments from grown ups!
We also celebrated the Crews who have been collectively reading the most at home, Crew Godley won it for Week 2 and Week 3 in KS1 and Crew Boswell for Week 2 and Crew Shields for Week 3 in KS2.
Well done to all of our amazing readers and parents! I wonder if we might have even more Reading Champions later this week?!
Last Friday, we started the first of many reading celebrations to come! Lots of children across school were awarded for reading at home. Teachers have been keeping a log of how many children have been reading each week and we really wanted to praise those children (and grown ups!) who have really made the effort to read at home every night! We also celebrated the Crew who have been reading the most at home and last week’s winners (for Week 1) was Crew MI! Well done to all of the fabulous readers! Keep up the great work! I wonder who our Reading Champions will be next week? Could it be you?!
