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
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
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 🌈🧘🏻
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.
Germany! 🇩🇪
In crew sessions we have been learning about Germany, we have learnt how to say hello in German and created a german and hat and flag. We are loving finding out about a different country!
Crew Marsh get Arty 👩🎨
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 🚮
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 👏
Perfect Pets 🐶🐱🐹🐢🐍🦉
In crew we have been drawing our perfect pets as part of a competition to win some money for school. Some children decided to draw traditional pets, others chose more exotic animals and there was even a hybrid animal in the mix!
Caring Crew ❤️
I was very lucky this morning to be able to visit Crew Thompson and what a lovely treat I had! The children were checking into crew with the question, ‘What is your spirit animal and why?’. The care and compassion the children held for each other showed how much this crew worked hard, to be kind. The children articulated beautifully why they were protectors, shy, resilient, emotional and many more qualities….. They supported and praised each other, I was blown away by the language used and how much the children had already adapted to the challenges of Year 3.
Mindful yoga 🧘🏻♂️🧘🏼♀️
During crew on Monday, we talked about different ‘sad’ feelings. We discussed that not only can people feel sad, they can feel anxious, worried, frightened, upset, afraid and scared at times too. There are lots of different reasons why people might be feeling like this and we decided that we would like to think about how to make people happy and calm again and get them into the green zone. One way that could help someone feel positive again is by doing mindful yoga. We decided to give it a try ourselves and it certainly made us feel happy – look at those super smiley faces!
