Croft Community School has held its first student election. Pupil Voice representatives from each of the classes expressed that they would like to take part in the voting for Head Students 2019/20 – previously candidates had been interviewed for these posts by the Senior Leadership Team. All students from Years 6-11 took part in the vote this afternoon following on from the Head Student candidates delivering the campaign speeches in assembly this morning.

The results of the vote will be published later on today!

P5 are reading The Well by Mildred D Taylor. This week we have been reading together, looking at key words, setting and characters.

Today P8 pupils have been working together as a team, following instructions and having fun!

Students have been developing their understanding of democracy at school this week. Students have been taking part in a nationwide vote organised by the Youth Parliament. On Friday it is nominations for Head Boy and Head Girl and students will be taking part in a presentation and secret ballot. Results to follow!

Items made in Craft Craft Enrichment today.

Letters are coming home either Friday or next Monday related to After School clubs. If you require any more information about the clubs please don’t hesitate to get in touch with school.
We’ll also be posting school timetables on the website.

P1 enjoyed looking at the changing seasons outside.  We noticed that the leaves are falling from the trees and lots of them have turned brown.  Some of us even tried to put them back onto the branches.

We found some apples on a tree and looked at them very closely.

We even found some carrots in the soil!

We had fun exploring the rope which we thought looked like a giant spiders web.  We decided to look for some spiders underneath the logs.  We found lots of interesting looking insects.

 

 

 

 

 

We have signed up to Aldi’s ‘Kit for Schools’ programme. Croft have the opportunity to win £20,000 to spend on sports equipment. Even if we don’t win, we still get free sports kit!

 

All we need to to do is collect 300 kit for schools stickers and send them into school. We then send them all off and the first ones in win a prize and then there are random prizes drawn from a hat.

 

To get the stickers…. spend £30 or more in Aldi and make sure you get a sticker!!

 

Tell EVERYONE you know!!!

“You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So…get on your way! – Dr Seuss

P3 were welcomed into class by some strange characters today!

 

Can you guess which author we are focusing on this term?

We set ourselves targets we would like to achieve during our P3 journey.

 

 

As well as introducing our new topic ‘Good to be me!‘ by answering our class question ‘What things make us healthy?’

We also had a visit from the dentist who told us all about how to keep our teeth clean and healthy.

 

 

P3 are excited for the adventure ahead!
