During academic crew, we had a gallery walk looking at our presentation and how we can continue to improve it.

This morning we looked at what it meant to be “fit as a fiddle”. We investigated what it meant to be physically and mentally healthy where we were able to use our knowledge from Mindful Monday crew. We then looked at how we can keep our head, heart and muscles healthy. We came up with some great ideas for example, exercise for 30 minutes a day, eat your 5 a day, drink plenty of water, get lots of sleep and play with our friends. 🍎💧🏃🏻♂️ We then sorted out the different things into the correct box.
Today was a very challenging session, we had to really use our listening skills to guide our peers around the obstacle course. We had to show we were resilient as at times it was very tricky to direct each other. We were so proud how all the children worked together and listened carefully to instructions. Great crew work, Crew Godley!
In challenge crew, we played a game called jump in, jump out. First, we circled up and had to follow instructions “jump in” “jump out” “jump left” and “jump right”. We noticed some of us struggled with left and right so we had to work together and communicate to achieve this. Then, we moved onto a challenge and had to do what Miss Thompson said but chant back the opposite. For example if Miss Thompson said “jump left” we jumped left but had to say “jump right”. This definitely required lots of thinking and turned our brains on this morning 🧠🤔
In crew Marsh this morning we were challenged to play keep it up, in our smaller crews we had to keep the balloon in the air and make sure it did not touch the floor. We were super up this!
In crew this morning, we had a fantastic discussion about how important it is to be both mentally and physically healthy. We first looked at the benefits of being physically and mentally healthy and then had a go at some yoga 🧘
Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.
Today we had a really tricky crew challenge! We were in two teams and the clock was ticking ⏰ we raced against each we other to untangle ourselves, during this challenge we developed our communication skills and problem solving skills, collaborating to untangle our very messy arms!
