A day to celebrate…

Crew Shields had a lovely picnic lunch today celebrating the King’s Coronation. Lots of happy faces we we had lunch together.

In class, we have learned more information about the traditions of coronations and what will happen tomorrow during the ceremony. We had to google how much the crown jewels were worth because we were very curious about this. We also listened to the National Anthem and Zadok the Priest which is the tradition music played at a coronation. We also created a collaborative piece as as a crew which turned out pretty well.

We love a crew challenge!

We have had a great week working together on various crew challenges this week in Crew Godley. The highlight of my week was to see the children working in smaller crews, independently, during our Guess the Logo challenge. The crews showed they were able to communicate effectively, reason with each other and collaborate beautifully 🥰

Chinese Whispers

During our crew building activity, the children had to use their listening, verbal and memory skills. Mrs Rhodes had a shopping list that one child had to remember. They then went to their group and had to pass it down the line. When it reached the back, that child had to tell Mrs Rhodes what the shopping list was. In some cases, they remembered some of the items but it took them a couple of times before they got the full list.

The children explained that they found it easy as there was only 4 items to remember but they found it difficult because they had to rely on others to give the information. Definitely one to try another time.

Easter Fun time

It was lovely for the children to take part in some Easter fun before we welcome the half term holiday. The crew have worked so hard this term so they deserved some down time as a treat. Mrs Rhodes and I even tried some face painting.

Wishing Crew Shields a very happy and safe Easter holiday.

Welcoming Spring

Yesterday, Crew Shields enjoyed a walk through our forest school where we could observe the beautiful items made by all the other Crews. It certainly put a smile on our faces as we think about the delights of Spring.
