Writing

Children should learn to write for different purposes and different audiences but remember if they cannot speak in sentences using good vocabulary they will not be able to write in sentences using good vocabulary. So encourage children to speak in sentences, introduce them to new vocabulary (explaining what it means) and orally rehearse what they are going to write first.
Expose children to new experiences, this has an impact on their writing too.

Purposes - List, story, letter, recount of a trip or day, diary, information, advert, poem, explain how something works, summary of a book etc. (Real or imaginary)

A message from Mrs Mack

Hello everyone. I am Mrs Mackintosh (or for short Mrs Mack) I am really looking forward to seeing you all and being your HLTA & Teaching Assistant in September!

I know it may feel a little strange to be back in school but don’t worry, we will work as a team to support one another and get through it.

As some of you know, I teach French and art  in school but did you know I love to bake?!

Baking is my preferred pastime at the moment. I bake a variety of cakes and cheesecakes, which the staff and children throughout school will say are quite delicious!
Especially the staff as they are my cake tasters! I’m sure they don’t mind!
I even entered my first competition, the Carlton Fete Bake Off 2020!
I came 1st!
Always have a go, you could surprise yourself - anything is possible!

What is your favourite cake and why?

My love of art began when I was a young child myself and it has grown throughout my adult life. It will be a pleasure to help guide, support and inspire your artistic visions.

Once again, I’m really looking forward to seeing you all in September, keep safe and well.

Mrs Mackintosh

A message from Mrs Pierce

Hello, my name is Mrs Pierce and I am a teaching assistant that has worked at school for nearly 12 years. Having established the Community Hub (school library) 4 years ago I also enjoy look after the library, including opening it to the wider community every other Saturday. I am looking forward to the new school year when I will be working in Peregrine Class with Mrs Longfield. I know most of the children who attend our school but it will be great to get to know some of you better. I am also looking forward to welcoming back our toddlers for story time on a Tuesday afternoon.

 

I enjoy being part of the 'Friends of Carlton Primary School', helping to organise events and raise money to support the pupils of our school and enhance the overall school experience.

 

I live in Newland (which is just 3 miles from Carlton) and I have family who live in Drax and Carlton, which is great as we are a really close family. I have two children, Dan who is now 16 and going into 6th form and Jess who is 14 and going into year 10 at The Snaith School.  Both my children were pupils at this school and really enjoyed their time here. 

 

When I am not in work I love listening to music and sing. I have been a member of Selby Rock choir for more than 10 years and I thoroughly enjoy our weekly sessions and performances to the public. I also love to go and watch musicals at the theatre and when I get chance I Like to swim and run.

 

I am looking forward to a rest and some family time over the summer and I am looking forward to working with you in September.

Well done Anna, I love how you are continuing to be the best that you can be! 

Keep up the fantastic work 😊

Well done Humber on a fantastic battle with Calder class. 
Well done to Lucas, Aaron, Belle, Neive, Anna, Jack, Sam and Bethan for participating this week. 

Our next challenge is a battle with Ouse class. You've worked so hard with your times tables this year, know you can do it Humber!

A message from Mrs Longfield

Hi everyone. I am Mrs Longfield and I am really looking forward to being your class teacher next year. 

Last year was a very strange one for lots of you and I know it will have been a long time since some have you have been in a classroom but don't worry I will be there to guide and support you and I am sure you will soon get back into the swing of things.

 Me and Mrs Mackintosh on our amazing holiday in Florida.

 

 

This will be my 30th year teaching at Carlton and I can't quite believe where that time has gone. I love our school and enjoy living and working in the village. 

 

When I am not teaching I love spending time with my family and friends. We love to get together and have barbecues, meals at home or go to nice restaurants. I love going on holiday and every year we go on a fantastic family trip to Cornwall, Scotland or France. My favourite place in the whole world is St Ives in Cornwall. I like nothing more than to sit on the harbour there with a good book and watch the world go by. What is your favourite place to visit and why? 

 

Other things I like to do are visit the theatre and cinema. I love musicals and have been to London many times to enjoy shows. My favourite has to be Les Miserables. I just love all the songs. Two of my favourite films are The Greatest Showman and Mamma Mia- again because I love the music in them. I even went to see them sat on the beach in the open air last year which was great fun! I love to sing too and am a member of Selby Rock Choir. I have performed at Abbey Road studios- where the Beatles recorded their albums, York Barbican, The NEC in Birmingham, Hyde Park in London and Blackpool tower ballroom to name a few. It's great fun!

 

When I've got time I also really enjoying reading. There is nothing more relaxing than diving into a good book. I'd love to hear about your favourite films, TV shows books. 

 

I am a Manchester United fan and love to watch all sport both live and on the TV. I will really miss the Olympics this year as I love watching our country compete and cheering them on. What is your favourite sport and do play in any teams?

 

My favourite animals are giraffes and I love nothing more than a day out at Yorkshire Wildlife Park where I can sit and watch these fascinating creatures. Do you have a favourite animal? Maybe you could draw or paint me a picture of them.

 

Because of lockdown we aren't able to have our usual move up mornings where I can get to know you all better. It would be really great if you could create an ALL ABOUT ME info sheet like mine and email it to me. Tell me all about yourself and ask me any questions about next year. I don't want you to be worried about anything so if you want to know something just ask.

You can either email them to me at : mrslongfield2020@carlton-in-snaith.n-yorks.sch.uk or drop them in at school.

I look forward to hearing all about you all and am really excited for next year.

Until then stay safe and have a great summer!

Think back to the circuits that you have made and drawn over the last couple of weeks.

Good luck! I can't wait to see the photos of them! 😀
