Fantastic Friday in Crew White
We finished our week by celebrating some of the fantastic learning that has taken place across Crew White!
Each member of our Crew chose a piece of learning from the week that they felt particularly proud of. We then took part in a gallery walk, giving everyone the chance to look carefully at each other’s work and celebrate the effort, care and determination that had gone into it.
Afterwards, we voted for the Crew members who we felt had really worked hard to produce something they could be proud of.
A huge well done to Harrison and Emelia, who were our Fantastic Friday winners this week and had special postcards sent home to celebrate their efforts.
A great way to finish the week and recognise what it means to work hard and get smart!
LKS2- Reading
LKS2 have had a fantastic week immersing themselves in our new text ‘The lion and the unicorn’. Pupils have enjoyed reading an extract from the book to help build fluency. We have also been identifying different question types.
LKS2 – Expedition
Across LKS2, we have began to make our poppies as part of our final product. We will be selling these at the beginning of November to raise funds for the Royal Legion. We will also be asking families to join us for our Remembrance Day assembly.
Rainbow Ribbon Dance
During today’s activity, the children participated in a rainbow ribbon dance session.Each child received a ribbon and followed along with an instructional video to work on their hand-eye coordinationThe children loved waving their ribbons.
Arts and Crafts time
“Today in arts and crafts, the kids created unique fox collages using a mix of fun textures and materials!”
Ham and cheese sandwich
We first buttered the bread, then added our ham and cheese before placing another slice of bread on top. We then cut it in half and ate it.
The Power of Play
It was lovely to see Year 4 and 2 playing alongside each other during our Friday crew session.

Could You Be a Change Maker?
As part of Mindful Monday this week, Crew White explored what it means to be a Change Maker and how we can make a positive difference to our school community.
We discussed the qualities that make a strong Change Maker, including being a good listener, showing courage, representing the views of others and being willing to take action rather than simply waiting for somebody else to make things better.
The children were then given the opportunity to apply for the role. Some children began their applications in school, while others chose to take an application home to complete for homework, giving them more time to think carefully about what they could bring to the role.
For those children who chose not to apply, they took on the important role of evaluating their school currently and making suitable suggestions for improvement.
Who will be Crew White’s Change Makers?
