Crew Challenge

21st January 2024Ruth Shields

Our crew Challenge was to use a range of gestures to help people decide which card they had. Each person was given a card and you had to treat people based on the value of their card. After having time to greet each other, they then had to decide if they had a low, middle or high value card. Once they’d decided they could finally look at their card. Most children were able to guess the value of their card as some children bowed to them, waved or give them a thumbs up/down.

We discussed how there will be occasions when we don’t have to say anything because our body language will do all the talking.

Orienteering 🧭

16th January 2024Ruth Shields

Yesterday afternoon, we braved the cold to go on an adventure. We had to use a series of instructions to guide us around the playground where we found some clues. When we returned to class, we worked together to figure out what they said. When we had finished, we discovered that the clues made up the guiding question.

Polar Bear art

11th January 2024Ruth Shields

Our expedition working wall is an important feature in our classroom as it shows the journey of our learning. Therefore I needed some help to add some pieces to it. We’d planned to make some art using the the rubbish we’d recycled on Monday, however, we wondered how hygienic this would be. Although, we weren’t able to use the rubbish we collected we’d done a good thing by tidying up our environment.

Human Spring – Crew Challenge!

10th January 2024Sarah Mcglone

In Crew Godley, we were challenged to become human springs! We had to work with a partner and lean against their outstretched arms. We then had to push back and forth several times in a comfortable, rhythmic manner. Once we had mastered it with our partner, we then changed partners and tried to see if we could get into the same rhythm.

We found it quite tricky to begin with, but we showed great resilience and tried really hard to work with different people in our crew to get it right!
