Scotty’s Heroes
The children in CrewRobson loved their Scotty’s Heroes session today. They learnt about the fire triangle and how to use a flint and steel safely.
Shout out to Jasper who was our Hero of the Week!
Crew – Bullying
In crew, we’ve been learning about bullying and the impact it has on the children that have to endure it . We discussed the different types of bullying such as physical, emotional or cyber. It was great to hear the discussion between the children and their understanding of the fact bullying is something that happens over time and not just a one off.
We are Scientists – Series Circuits
In expedition we have continued to be scientist by starting to learn about electricity. Children were given some equipment in small groups and they had to problem solve together to create a working circuit. This was a chance for children to demonstrate their resilience as they’d only been given the equipment and no further instructions. It was great hearing the children talk through what they’d done already and what they could try next. The majority of the groups managed to construct a working circuit and either make the bulb light up or the buzzer work.
Silent Line up
This morning in Crew we were set a challenge to line up with a predetermined characteristic but we weren’t allowed to speak. We had to order ourselves in height, shoe size and hair length. We worked in 2 groups which worked very differently. One group had 2 children who took a lead and directed the rest of the children with hand signals or guiding them to where they needed to be. The other group figured it out between them and didn’t have anyone that appeared to be leading the rest of them, however, both groups were successful.
Staying Safe Online – Don’t Talk to Strangers!
In todays Crew session we explored online safety. We all agreed that the internet is an amazing place to learn, play, and connect with friends, but it’s important to stay safe! Just like in real life, never talk to strangers online. If someone you don’t know messages you, don’t reply—tell a trusted adult instead. Never share personal information like your name, school, or address, and always be careful about what you post. Mason then created some wonderful, informative slides, to share with his peers.
Remember: If something doesn’t feel right, speak up! Stay smart, stay safe, and enjoy the internet responsibly.
Crew Challenge
There is nothing like a good crew challenge to start the day. Children worked in groups of 3 or 4 and they had to hold as many pieces of paper as they could. However, the piece of paper couldn’t touch another piece and they had to hold it between different body parts such as knees, head or hands. One group managed to hold 5 pieces.
