Anti-bullying week

This morning in crew, we looked at a story called ‘Topsy and Tim help a friend’. We paused the video to look at the different actions each character carried out and discussed whether they were kind choices, or unkind choices. Here were some of the things we talked about…

What were the unkind children doing?

They tripped the boy up! – Emma

Then they laughed at him when he fell down – Harlow

They threw his bag – Araya

They were bullying him! – Kingsley

Because they did lots of unkind things, not just one and it made it made him sad – Hilaryanna.

They tricked him! – Alyssa

What did Topsy and Tim do to help?

They told the grown ups – Elsie

Then the grown ups talked to all the children. The boy was kind then and he said sorry – Max

We learnt a lot about kind and unkind actions from this story!

Positive Relationships 💜♥️

Continuing with our anti bullying work this week in crew, we have looked at positive relationships. We’ve explored who we can talk to and trust. We discussed how important it is that we can build positive relationships with adults. This could be a family member, a carer, a teacher or another trusted adult who makes us feel safe. We now know that if we are feeling sad, upset or nervous we can share that with someone who we trust.

FS1 – Anti- Bullying week – Crew challenge!

This week we have been learning all about being kind and sharing in Crew Dorman. We practised our sharing skills playing a game called ‘pass the ball’ and we worked as a team on building a tower! Taking it in turns to place each brick on top of the other. We wondered?…..Could we work as a team and place each block carefully? We tried our best, took turns and at the end had a nice high tower. Even though the tower fell a few times we kept going practising our team work and resilience! Mrs Dorman and Mrs Mason praised our teamwork!

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue 🔥🚒

This afternoon, we were fortunate to have a visit from firemen from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue. We learnt all about fire alarms, fire safety and how to keep ourselves safe in an emergency. We found out it was essential to have a battery in your fire alarm and to test it works at least one day a week. Next, we learnt all about fire safety and what to do in case we catch fire. We need to stop, drop and roll to make sure the fire doesn’t get worse. Finally, in an emergency it is important to leave everything and leave by the nearest fire exit. What an informative afternoon we have all had.

Crew Building!

This morning’s crew challenge was to work in a mini crew to build the tallest tower! We decided to use our blocks from the small world area and to work in teams of boys and girls to create the towers. We worked hard to make sure everyone was included and to build the tallest, strongest towers!

Active break times 🚶‍♀️🎶⚽️

In Crew Marsh the children have really embraced working in small groups during their break and lunchtimes. They have been working on lots of different skills, some new and some previously shown in PE lessons. This varies from dancing and balancing, to target throws and tennis games. It has been great to watch the children grow in confidence and now start to set up these activities themselves, showing great teamwork throughout. We always end our break time by joining one long line and doing the ‘conga’ to collect all of our equipment around the playground before heading back inside. I can’t wait to see what other exciting activities are coming up!

Odd Socks Crew

Today in crew we started to think about Anti-Bullying week and kicked this off with showing off our odd socks! We celebrated everything that makes us unique and special. It was a great start to the week and linked perfectly with World Kindness Day 🌎 💜
