As part of ‘National Healthy Eating Week’ and to celebrate the countdown to Paris 2024, Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB are challenging young people aged 5–14 to get creative and design a lorry that inspires people to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. Therefore, in crew this morning we all designed our own lorries! We thought about writing, colours and suitable images to capture peoples’ attention. At the end of the session we critiqued each others and offered notices, wonders and praises! Mrs Pashley has also been tasked with choosing a winner 🌟 from each crew in LKS2! All shall be revealed in crew tomorrow…








Thank you to Scarlett who shared a ballet routine with us during our morning crew. She has spent lots of time doing dance and was delighted to share it with us.
As part of crew today, we discussed how it is healthy eating week and what this means to us. We came up with some fantastic ways to eat healthy such as eating a balanced diet and making sure we have our 5 a day! We created a design for a lorry that inspires people to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. 🍇🍌























Today our challenge crew was to follow a simple instruction: “build a tower of shoes”. After enthusiasm saw multiple towers, we worked together to build one taller tower which we then measured. The question is, can we do better next time? And before you ask, we took it outside to enjoy the weather, not because of the smell! 😉











This morning, we started our school week by developing our staff crew. At XP Trust we work hard to build crew with our pupils but also within our staff team too. We started the week talking about the highlight of our weekend with staff from other phases as we don’t often get enough time to mingle across phases.
Then we paired up and played the communication game. We had to describe the picture in front of us to our partner who could not see it. We thought carefully about our use of language and how to explain things to our partner so that they would understand. We managed a quick debrief to discuss what barriers we faced when completing the activity before dashing off to greet our crews ready for another fun filled week.
It was a lovely start to the week, with lots of smiles all round.
In crew, we completed an assault course in our outdoor area. We absolutely LOVED IT!
























As part of our music case study, the children have been given the opportunity to write their favourite song on a piece of paper and place it in a cup.
During our end of dy crew, we choose a song, listen and then decide whose favourite song it might be. We definitely know some of our crew well as we’ve managed to guess who it belongs to.
We’re looking forward to hearing all the rest of the songs over the next few weeks.
This morning it was the turn of Esme to share her interests out of school. Esme, just like Kaitlynn, regularly attends dancing comps and dances in different styles. She was going to show us some tap dancing but she changed her mind.
Lovely to see all the talent Crew Shields have.
