Amazing Shrinking Blanket

9th June 2023Tracy Haddock

So this week in xp outdoors we’ve worked on our team building skill.

Cirque du Soleil – Kaitlynn

9th June 2023Ruth Shields

On Thursday morning, we continued with a crew member showing some of their talents.

It was the turn of Kaitlynn who is an avid dancer. She often takes parts on comps and shares her successes the us.

After Kaitlynn showcased her talent, the question of the day was: Does Kaitlynn even have a spine? What do you think?

Future artist…

8th June 2023Ruth Shields

This morning in crew we had the pleasure of viewing the art work of Kaylum and we have decided that children will have more opportunities to share their interests with us.

Kaylum is a budding artist and often brings in stuff for our tabletop display. He has brought in his sketchbook from home today and we are truly blown away. I’m sure you will as well.

We have set Kaylum a challenge – Can he create us a sign for our door that says Crew Shields surrounded by images that reminds him of people in the crew. Watch this space…

Active break time

8th June 2023Tracy Haddock

So at break time the year 6’s played cricket. They achieve lots of team building.

This morning, our check-in was to spell out our names using exercise although we did tweak it slightly to make it more classroom-friendly. Here’s a glimpse of what it looked like. Do you think you could manage to spell out your name?

Reading with Rosie 📚🧸

7th June 2023Natasha Holdsworth

Each member of Crew Robson will have the opportunity to take home Rosie, read a book to her and have a lovely sleepover before returning her the next day. We’re hoping this will encourage the children to read every night at home. This is also the perfect time to share with you our full class reading log. The children receive a sticker on the chart each time they read their book and it is signed by their adult. We have a chocolate treat for the children who get half way, but the big prize, when the children complete 4 reads per week, is for the each child to make their own biscuit and milkshake and enjoy the afternoon having a teddy bears picnic! What an amazing target to aim for 🎯🧸 🧺

Crew Challenge – Chess

6th June 2023Ruth Shields

This morning for our crew challenge, Mrs Rhodes introduced us to a new game. The children had to work as 2 groups. They stood on the line and choose a crew leader. It was the crew leaders job to instruct the rest of the crew so they had to listen carefully to their instructions. They could move forward or back but had to move as a group. When the other group was close they could charge. The objective was the tag as many of the other team as possible and get them to join the opposite team. This was a lovely activity as it showed us who were risk takers or who like to play it on the safe side. Not only were they building crew but having good fun as well.

Football game

26th May 2023Ruth Shields

A lovely game of football ⚽ this afternoon for Crew Shields as we continue to build up crew in different types of scenarios. Crew Shields love a game of football together and the majority get involved but football can become heated at times so a perfect opportunity to work on negotiating and sportsmanship. It also helped having the sun shining. 🌞

Show and Tell in CrewRobson

26th May 2023Nicola Robson

This morning in crew we invited the children to bring in something from home that they would like to share with their crew. It was lovely to hear them talk about their their toys and ask lots of questions.
