Being kind ♥️

6th November 2023Laura Godley

Today in crew we explored what kindness with our hands looked like. We thought about what kind things we can do with our hands to show that we care, for example giving a high five 🖐️ or a wave 👋 or even a hug 🤗 We then worked together in mini crews to sort kind and unkind actions, this led to some great discussions about our views and opinions. This linked perfectly to our stewardship roles in crew and the children were able voice how we take cares of not only each other but our environment too.

Hands are not for hitting!🖐🏼

This morning in crew we have looked at what is kind and not kind regarding our hands. We did a fab job of organising them into groups.

What makes me a good friend?

3rd November 2023Ruth Shields

This week, we have been discussing the qualities that make us a good friend. Children shared with their peers how they were good friends to others. Lovely to hear them saying they are helpful, kind, thoughtful and considerate towards others.

Thank you to Frankie who brought in her Brownie sash this week. She explained to us the badges she has achieved and what she had to do to receive them. She should be very proud of herself. 😊

Academic Crew

12th October 2023Ruth Shields

This morning it was time to reflect on the presentation in our maths books. We discovered some positives but unfortunately this isn’t consistent across all books. We will be really thinking about presentation after half term to ensure we can see improvement.

Leaning tower of feetza 👟🥿

10th October 2023Sarah Mcglone

This morning during crew, we worked as a team to build a tower using only our shoes. We decided that it would be best to put boots at the bottom because they are the heaviest and if they went on the top they would topple the tower over. Once we had put the boots at the base of our tower, we carefully added the other shoes to see how tall we could make it. There were a couple of times where it fell over but we showed great resilience and teamwork to build it back up again, sometimes in the same way, others in a different way to try something new. During our debrief, we talked about how we could have approached the challenge differently. We said that our tower would have been taller and stronger if we had more shoes and we also said that we could have worked a little slower to be even more careful when adding shoes to the top.

Great work Crew MW!

Silly to Calm 🧘🏻😌

9th October 2023Sarah Mcglone

Continuing with our work on feelings, today we looked at feeling excited. We talked about how feeling excited is a good feeling but sometimes, excitement can lead to feeling or being silly. In times where we might feel like this, there are lots of ways in which to calm down. We followed a song on YouTube this morning to go from silly to calm. Afterwards, we talked about how we were feeling – we said calm, happy, and peaceful.

As part of multicultural week we made our very own German biscuits – they were yummy! We had to follow a recipe carefully.

Multicultural week – Italian

6th October 2023Ruth Shields

During this weeks multicultural focus we have had a go at speaking Italian. We shared our feelings on Italian and then used a video to help us say foods. I have to say I was rather impressed with some of their pronunciation.

Multicultural week – Italy

6th October 2023Ruth Shields

This week we have been learning about Italy with it being multicultural week. This also fits in with our expedition because it’s allowed us to explore the country in more detail and discover things such as their food and language.
We really enjoyed learning about the famous dances which believe it or not came about because of someone being bitten by a tarantula.
