Bonfire night discussions in MI

Yesterday we discussed the reasons why we celebrate bonfire night. We watched and explored a video clip all about Guy Fawkes then discussed our thoughts in mini crews. We then thought about firework safety and the reasons why this is so important. We then applied our learning to a kahoot quiz!

Caring crew in MI

Today we discussed friendships and what friendship means to us. We talked about what makes a good friend and how we make sure we are a good friend to others. We then took part in a task where we had to communicate with others in the crew, finding someone else who likes doing certain things e.g someone who likes dogs, someone who likes pizza. We enjoyed learning more about each other and talking to each other a little more. We then thought more about how we are all good friends and what we do to show this daily.

Crew Challenge

During Crew challenge, children were tasked with making the longest paper chain in 3 minutes. Children were split into small groups to complete the challenge. Some groups broke off into pairs and started building a chain which they joined together before the time ran out. Other groups delegated roles to each other. By delegating jobs or splitting off into smaller groups it allowed them to be successful.

Recycling crew in MI

This week is recycling week! We discussed the term recycling in our mini crews and gave some examples of what we recycle. We then took part in a recycling quiz which we all enjoyed! There was some great collaborative working with some great discussions of answers together.

Challenge crew in MI

Today we worked in mini crews to create a paper chain in a set period of time. The mini crew who created the longest paper chain were the winners! To start with, children discussed what they would do, they thought about job roles and what equipment they would use. There was lots of great collaborative working, children discussed ideas together and encouraged each other as the time was ticking! In our debrief we discussed who did which role in each mini crew and which skills were needed to make the challenge a success.
