Crew MW’s Hook Week!
This week, we’ve had a visitor in our classroom! The Gruffalo wrote us a letter to go and explore the woods and to see what we could find from his checklist. We found leaves, dandelion clocks, rough bark, daisies, a bumble bee and some birds!
Roman Helmets
Today we have been making Roman helmets as part of our hook week.
Summer Celebration of Learning
A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us for the celebration of learning this afternoon. It was lovely to see so many of you there to share this moment.
The children have been amazing and they always do such a great job. I also love how so many of them take ownership of their part and learn their lines at home.
As mentioned, I am extremely proud of the work the children produced not only for this final product but all of them. A huge well done to them all.
Year 5’s fabulous final product of Summer 23. Enjoy.
Crew MW’s transition day!
Crew MW have had a fantastic transition day! We started with a crew challenge of keep the balloon up in mini crews. The children were fantastic at this!
After that, we explored our new classroom. We found lots of new things to play with and to share with our friends and teachers!
Next, we had story time. We looked at a story called ‘all kinds of people’ and how we are all different but we all belong. We used our mirrors to paint self portraits thinking about the shapes of our faces, colour of our eyes and our hair. Our teachers are saving these to put up on our proud piece walls over summer so that we can show our grown ups on our first day!
Our final activity was exploring our forest school area! We put our wellies on and collected our scavenger hunt checklists with our partner to go and search for different items in the forest area. We had lots of fun collecting the different items and working with our pairs!
We can’t wait to welcome everyone back at the end of August!
Pyjamarama Day in EYFS!
We’ve had so much fun during pyjamarama day in EYFS! We’ve had a teacher swap where some of the teachers from the rest of school came to read us a story which we loved! We’ve also had reading volunteers from KS2 come to read us stories which was so much fun! Finally, we’ve had our grown ups come to share stories with us at the end of the day in the sunshine ☀️
Ameena’s Beautiful Work 🎨
I am so proud of Ameena, she followed every instruction to produce her beautiful Peter Thorpe artwork. I can’t wait to see your painting next!
Wonderful writers!
Crew Welburn have been working hard on their writing this week in morning jobs and in adult led activities. They’ve used their Fred fingers well to pinch their sounds, and to write their sentences independently. Keep up the hard work Crew Welburn!
Carcroft Newsflash! 📰🌍🧑🏫
This week in Crew FE we have been writing a broadcasting script about the recent devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, linked to our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, What happens when nature strikes? Today the children had the opportunity to perform these in front of a green screen. I was blown away with children’s fluency and expression skills as well as their ability to follow stage directions whilst reading!
Teacher Swap! 🧑🏫🔄
This afternoon, many of our teachers had the opportunity to swap classes so that they could share some of their favourite stories with another crew! The children absolutely loved having a different teacher, listening to stories and exploring their own imagination! It was lovely to pop into crews and see the real love for reading taking place as well as children’s thirst for reading. The fact that in some crews children were wanting to read more books by particular authors because they enjoyed it so much, and that other children wanted to read the book again or finish it, was fab! Hopefully next year we can do much more of this and maybe we can get some of our grown ups from home to come in too!
