Crew Mcloughlin weekly blog

25th September 2021Hannah McLoughlin

Week 4 already… the weeks are flying by! In Crew Mcloughlin we started the week with revisiting what norms we would like us all to follow in the classroom and individually made pledges to ensure we meet all our expectations. Hopefully this will ensure we are getting a higher weekly hoWL average.

Our writing is coming on lovely and we impressed when visitors came into Crew Mcloughlin at just how hard the children were working. Next week we are going to up-level our writing by ensuring we are using correct punctuation.

It was also our first session of Scotty Hero’s, the children were put through their paces to show endurance and stamina. They blew me, Mrs Rhodes and the coach away and earned lots of HoWL points!

Our experience day in expedition gave us an insight into what life was like for children working during the industrial revolution. We each were given a profile as to their new age, name and medical condition. The children then tried to communicate who they were, baring in mind many had lost their hearing due to the loud working conditions. We then got into character and acted out cleaning the mill, we had to scavenge to retrieve cotton from under the loom which was very dangerous 😰but in reality we scavenged for screwed up paper dodging hurdles along the way with factory background noises playing in the background. We then had to do some tricky maths based on a typical rota to find how many hours worked etc.

We are still focusing on Be Kind next week as unfortunately this week we have not met our target and have not always thought before we have acted, but this is all part of growing up and I am sure we will smash it next week! However, I have caught some kindness as a little message appeared on the back of my board yesterday…

So to reiterate Olivias message, have a lovely weekend everyone! Miss M 😊

  • Thank you for a great start to the weekend Olivia!
