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!
Children In Need – Pie Time!
To celebrate Children In Need, everyone who came to school and made a donation was able to take part in splatting Titch in the face with a whipped cream ‘pie’! It’s safe to say, everyone had fun! Even some of the adults joined in!
World Kindness Day
Crew Hamill really enjoyed taking part in the interactive World Kindness Day assembly last week. We were really inspired by the stories we were told by the host and we have used this to reflect on our Be Kind HoWL. We have created ‘Kindness Balloons’ in our crew and will be adding a balloon every time someone does something kind. We’re hoping to have enough to make our house fly, like in Up! We also completed kindness tickets in which we wrote a note to someone who was important to us, explaining why we thought they were amazing.
Sliding into half term
What a great way to end the half term by having some time on the bouncy castle. Lots of bouncing, sliding and flipping. Some children even learned how to do a flip with the help of their peers.
End of Half Term Treat
Crew Hamill LOVED our bouncy castle treat at the end of this half term! We also managed to convince Miss Hamill to finally make us all a cup of tea! Miss Hamill made a deal with Jenson that if his howls improved as the half term went on, she would make him a cup of tea as he’d been asking for one all half term. We supported Jenson in this so Miss Hamill made one for everyone! Well done, Jenson 🙂 and to the rest of Crew Hamill for your support!
Scotty’s Hero
Crew Hamill loved ending the half term with a Scotty’s Hero session.
Arithmetic Superstars!
In academic crew this morning, Crew Mcloughlin have reflected on their performance in their latest arithmetic test and wow did we deserve a massive celebration! A high percentage of children have improved their score and some by a whopping 15 marks! We could not be prouder of each and every child in our Crew. The hard work is definitely paying off!
Crew Challenge
In Crew challenge this week, we had to work together as a small crew to keep the balloon from touching the floor. We realised very quickly that we needed to use small taps and try to hit it straight up. Some great team work.
Crew Building – Time to Thrive!
Today, Crew Hamill were extremely lucky as they got to spend some time with Ms Haddock and take part in a few crew building activities. For our first activity, we played ‘spiders web’ in which we had to work as a mini crew to get ourselves through the gaps of the spiders web without touching the chains. We started off easy by going through the middle hole but then it was made more difficult when we had to get lower down to go through the bottom hole and somehow get higher up to get through the top hole. This is where we really needed our crew mates! In the second activity, we had to get from one side of the room to the other without touching the ‘water’. We could only stand on ‘land’ (within the hoops). We had to figure out the best way to get everyone safely from one side of the room to the other without anyone landing in the water.
Caring crew in MI
Today we built on our discussion last week, talking about the members in our family and creating our own family tree. We talked about how our family members support us and how we support our family. We worked in mini crews to create a family alphabet, using each letter to describe how we help our families.
Who are my family?
In crew, we discussed how important our families are and how these might look different to other people. We started by swapping seats with others based on whether they had siblings, pets etc. Then the children has the opportunity to draw their family.
