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.

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.

Rainbow breathing 🌈🧘🏻

3rd October 2023Sarah Mcglone

In Crew MW, we have been continuing to look at different feelings. This week we have looked at feeling angry. We talked about times we might feel angry and why we might have those feelings. We then discussed how rainbow breathing could help people who are feeling angry to feel calm and happy again. We followed the tutorial on the screen and we really enjoyed seeing each colour appear after each inhale and exhale.

Crew Marsh get Arty 👩‍🎨

27th September 2023Natasha Holdsworth

During our writing lesson, some children access labs of learning to enhance their knowledge of vocabulary which they then use in their pieces of writing. Today the children were shown how to use the iPads to access a QR code which then led to a step by step video teaching them how to draw Little Red Riding Hood. The children worked in pairs to do this and all worked extremely hard to use these new skills and produced a great piece of art work!

Keeping Carcroft clean 🚮

21st September 2023Natasha Holdsworth

Some children from Crew Marsh explored the outdoor area of our School today. We spoke about the importance of litter picking but also making sure it is safe to do so. Some of them were quite shocked at how much they found but also quite impressed that they could all hold the huge pipe they found too! They did a great job and hopefully they spread their enthusiasm about keeping their environment safe to others in the community 👏
