After a busy morning learning patterns and phonics in Crew Haigh today – we were very excited to finish the day with a visit to the bounty castle.
Bouncing into summer term

World Book Day Fun
Pupils enjoyed an interactive world book day in Crew Haigh, we shared book, sensory stories and especially enjoyed making sandwiches for our tea party
Goldilocks – Writing, Sharing, Exploring and more…
The pupils in Crew Haigh have enjoyed their latest story; Goldilocks And The Three Bears. Sensory story props, making porridge and edible bears (which we obviously loved!) all whilst developing those important motor skills that will help develop our writing – some superb communication and sharing too!
Easter Egg Competition
Crew Hamill’s amazing easter egg displays for the easter egg competition!!
Strike, strike, strike!!
Crew Hamill and Crew Wilkinson had so much fun causing a little mischief on the streets of Carcroft whilst taking part in our very own strike. We showed a united front whilst fighting for what we believe in – a school with no uniform and a 4 day school week (no Fridays!!).
Thank you to everyone who cheered us on when they saw us and to those who gave us a beep of their horn!
Crew Building
Following on from our staff crew building activity, we thought the children in Crew Marsh would enjoy it too. They have now added their own masterpieces to make a beautiful collaborative piece of art work. A lovely activity outside painting, drawing and colouring real life flowers under the lovely sunshine! What a gorgeous way to celebrate Spring and Crew!
Let’s STRIKE!
To hook us into our learning, we are going on STRIKE! Today, we have learnt all about the coal mine strikes and the reasonings as to why these took place. We were shocked to find out that 142,000 people actually went on strike when Margaret Thatcher tried to close 20 mines in 1984. Did you know that people who didn’t go on strike were called scabs?! Inspired by what we have learnt, we are planning our own strike! We have decided that the school week should always be a 4 day week and that we shouldn’t have to come to school on Fridays. This afternoon, we have designed and created placards which we are going to use when we go on strike later in the week. Keep your eyes peeled – we may just march past your house!
Super Supercar!
Crew Hamill have absolutely LOVED having the opportunity to take a seat in a super car today! The visitors were extremely kind and let each of us have the chance to sit in the front seat. Not only that, but they also brought each of us an easter egg!!
Scotty’s Heroes
Crew Hamill loved their Scotty’s session today in which they were learning how to successfully use a flint and steel to create a fire. Did you know, if you use vaseline on your cotton pad, it will stay alight longer and your flame will be larger?
World book day!
Today was AMAZING because it was World Book Day! We got to dress up as our favourite book characters, and everyone looked so cool!
We really enjoyed our sensory story of the Jack and the beanstalk!
Pancake day
Tuesday was the best day ever! We made pancakes, and it was VERY messy (but that’s the fun part!).
First, we mixed all the ingredients in a big bowl. The flour went poof! everywhere, and our faces turned white like snow. We stirred and stirred with big wooden spoons—our arms got super tired, but we didn’t give up!
Then, we scooped the gooey pancake mix into little cups. It was sticky and squishy, and some of it even landed on the table (oops!). But that’s okay because we were having so much fun!
They were the BEST pancakes in the whole wide world!
Mindful colouring in MI
In our crew session we continued with our discussions on mental and physical health. We talked about how mental health allows us to feel good about ourselves and also cope with challenges. It allows us to build strong relationships, enjoy life and be more resilient. We discussed that we care for our physical health by eating well and exercising, and how we need to do the same with our mental well-being in the same way. We then listened to some mindful music whilst completing some mindful colouring.
Crew in MI
Today in crew we started to explore the significance of being mentally healthy alongside physically healthy. We thought about what it means to be happy, activities that help us to feel good and why we think our feelings are important. We then completed a fitness circuit 🙂 Our debrief allowed to explore what mental health is and reasons why it is important to take care of it. The circuit really did set us up for the day 🙂
