Friday morning reflection… and I am completely buzzing!🌟
Across all three @CATAcademyTrust primary schools, our children have smashed national averages in every KS2 SATs measure for both ARE and Greater Depth. 👏
Three schools. Three identities. One incredible team. 💫

A huge thank you to @ZooLabUK for helping Year 2 bring our Animals and Habitats topic to life in true animal style! 🐍🦎🐢 We met lots of fascinating animals and discovered why their habitats are perfect for them and why they couldn’t survive in others. 🐾🌿 @CATAcademyTrust
“Handa puts seven delicious fruits in a basket for her friend, Akeyo.” 🍌🍊🍍
Wonderful to see such imaginative writing. A lovely example of how a great book can inspire a love of language, creativity and storytelling. #Ambition
🍎 Year 2 have been writing independent retellings of Handa’s Surprise! 📚 We’ve explored time connectives, adverbs, past-tense verbs and adjectives. We even tasted the fruits to inspire our descriptions! The result? 24 amazing stories we’re proud of! 🌟✍️ @CATAcademyTrust

Owl-some creativity @Carlton_MillsPS. Wonderful to see our little artists spreading their wings and creating such beautiful masterpieces.
🦉🎨 What a hoot we had at KS1 Art Club! Our little artists have been busy creating their very own colourful owls using paper folding, cutting and sticking skills! ✂️🖍️ We love their fantastic creations! 🌈✨ #KS1ArtClub #CreativeKids #ArtAndDesign
What a beautiful way to help our youngest children understand the importance of friendship, kindness and looking after one another @MarshfieldPS. #CarltonCares
Fantastic to see children developing confidence and fluency in maths through such purposeful learning. Building strong foundations in number and calculation is so important. Well done, Year 3 @Carlton_MillsPS. 🧮👏 #ExcellenceForAll
🧮 Great maths learning in Year 3 Milan Class today! Children practised the column method, identifying tens and ones to strengthen their understanding of place value and calculation. Well done everyone🌟 #CarltonCurriculum
What a fabulous way to celebrate Diwali. Bringing culture, creativity and learning to life through dance is such a wonderful experience for our youngest learners. A lovely opportunity to learn, celebrate and have fun. 🪔✨ #CarltonEdge
⭐️What a way to kick off the half term! Year 1 have been celebrating Diwali through a fantastic dance workshop, learning new moves and exploring the music and traditions of the Festival of Lights. A huge thank you to @WestEndinSchool for delivering a engaging workshop! 🪔
Brilliant to see opportunities like this inspiring the next generation of musicians. Building confidence, creativity and teamwork while having lots of fun. Who knows where our next little rockstars might end up!? 🎸🌟🥁 #CarltonEdge @RSMusicSchool
What a wonderful way to celebrate a love of reading. Every child choosing their own book is such a special treat and a lovely reminder of the importance of nurturing a lifelong love of literature. Very well deserved @MarshfieldPS. 📚❤️☕️ #CarltonEdge
A well-deserved treat to @WaterstonesBD1 for Y6 Amanda Gorman class to celebrate their fantastic reading efforts. Every child got a book of their choice 📚 paid for by school & enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate! ☕️ #MPSReading #CarltonEdge
