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!
Show and tell crew 💕
KS1 have decided that every Friday we want to hold and show and tell crew where children can share something from outside of school with their crew. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better and practise our speaking and listening skills.
Show and Tell
We had lots of fun in Crew this morning sharing our special things. The children all listened to each other and asked great questions.
Crew Shields Praise!
A huge well done to Crew Shields this week.
We’ve had lots more children reading at home and almost everyone has returned their homework which means I’ve been able to give out lots of raffle tickets. In addition, nearly everyone has scored 7 or more out of 10 on their spelling test. You’ve smashed it this week! Keep it up!
Challenge crew in MI
Developing our communication and team work skills in challenge crew this morning 🙂
Caring Crew 💕
In crew this morning we talked about what we can do to be kind to our families at home. We drew our idea on a heart and added them to our kindness jar.
Happiness jar 💕
This morning we drew or wrote something that makes us feel happy and put it into our happiness jar.
How does what I do, impact others?
KS1 strengthened their crews last week by having a real focus on Crew, what does it mean to us and the wider community. Our guiding questions were, ‘How does what I do, impact others?’ and ‘Does crew stop at the school gates?’. With this in mind you’ll have noticed in our blogs last week that we delivered books and kindness stones to the local community to show kindness and care. Well…….. we were so excited to see that some of these have been found and brought joy to other children outside of our school community. The children were so excited to see this in morning crew today 😊
