What a Day! Bunting, sunshine, and sandwiches galore! Our VE Day picnic was a fantastic celebration filled with laughter, music, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue. Crews came together to remember the end of World War II in Europe with a joyful afternoon of games, dancing, and classic picnic treats. It was a wonderful way to honour history, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company – just like they did back in 1945!
As part of our expedition lessons we have been learning about the Kings Trust and the work they do to support children and young people. We learnt that they try and help build resilience so we took part in some activities to try and help us become more resilient. These included cross the river, mirror challenge and blindfold assault course.
Today in Crew, we explored what it means to be active and why it’s so important for our bodies and minds.
We learned that being active helps us build strong muscles and bones, keeps our hearts healthy, and gives us more energy for the things we love to do. It also helps us feel happier, more confident, and less stressed! We talked about different ways to stay active, like playing sports, going to the skate park, walking the dog, or even just having fun outdoors. Everyone shared what being active means to them and set goals for how they can keep moving and feeling great every day.
Crew Godley have been busy creating some masterpieces for our Easter Egg Competition!
Sharni-Mae, Declan and Leon brought their own unique ideas to life with bright colours, imaginative designs, and lots of enthusiasm! We are so proud of the effort and artistry shown by everyone. Well done, Crew Godley, your Easter eggs look egg-cellent! Take a look at their amazing entries below!
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!
KS1 have been making the most of the glorious weather! Spring is finally here and it makes us love breaktimes so much more! Here are some of our activities which we’ve enjoyed doing today.
The children in Crew Marsh had a brilliant session with Scottys Hero’s, they learnt how to start a fire by using a flint and steel to create sparks, then added cotton wool to start their mini fires. What an exciting experience. We will be toasting marshmallows in no time!
To celebrate Red Nose Day, our school turned fundraising into a splash of fun! Mr Williamson bravely faced the challenge of being squirted with red paint, all in the name of raising money for a great cause. Laughter and a whole lot of red made it an afternoon to remember! Thank you to everyone who joined in and supported.
This week in crew, we’ve been exploring the importance of sleep and how it helps our bodies and minds stay healthy. We’ve learned how a good night’s sleep can improve concentration, mood, and energy levels, as well as support growth and overall well-being. Did you know that children should be getting at least ten hours a sleep per night! Oliver was excited to share that he does and loves a good nights sleep!
