What does Crew mean to you?
This week in Crew Robson we have spent our mornings answering the guiding question “What does Crew mean to you?”
We spent a lot of time reflecting on where we are now and where we want to be by the time we are in Year 6. To capture this we made a time capsule. Everyone filled in their Crew identity, we attached a piece of string to see how much we grow and finally added a picture of us.
Finally we sealed the box which will be reopened in July 2029, just before we leave Carcroft!
What do our HoWLs look like in crew?
This week, in crew, we have have been busy exploring our HoWLs (Habits of Work and Learning). Together, we thought carefully about different scenarios and discussed whether they showed Working Hard, Getting Smart or Being Kind. It was fantastic to see the children reflecting on their choices, sharing ideas with one another, and recognising how our HoWLs help us to grow not just as learners, but as kind and responsible members of our Crew.
Year 1s Human Clock
Today Crew Marsh have been learning how to tell the time, in particular o’clock and half past. They worked extremely hard using their own clocks to answer the questions in lesson and then we decided to challenge ourselves to create the time shown on a clock by using our bodies to represent the clock, the hour hand and the minute hand. Time really does fly when you’re having fun!
Building Trust and Teamwork in XP Outdoors
Our children have been embracing the great outdoors as part of their Crew sessions, working collaboratively and building trust through a range of team challenges and activities. It’s been wonderful to see the children supporting each other, stepping out of their comfort zones, and showing real Crew spirit in action!
Carcroft Crew out in the Community
Our children have been proudly working with Doncaster Council and Asda’s Community Champions to help make a difference in our local area. Equipped with litter pickers, high-vis vests, and lots of enthusiasm, they took to the streets to help tidy up and learn about the importance of looking after our environment.
This hands-on project not only supported our learning about citizenship and sustainability, but also showed how small actions can make a big impact. Well done to all the children involved – you’ve made our school and community proud!
Crew clean up
The children in Crew Marsh were kindly gifted an outdoor play house. They worked as a team to clean the playhouse and make it as good as new. They’ve also worked hard to keep their playground clean and tidy by using equipment and again working together. We love our break times outside and now we’re able to role play with our new equipment to make breaktimes even more exciting.
VE Day Picnic
What a Day! Bunting, sunshine, and sandwiches galore! Our VE Day picnic was a fantastic celebration filled with laughter, music, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue. Crews came together to remember the end of World War II in Europe with a joyful afternoon of games, dancing, and classic picnic treats. It was a wonderful way to honour history, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company – just like they did back in 1945!
Guess the Animal Crew Challenge
The King’s Trust
As part of our expedition lessons we have been learning about the Kings Trust and the work they do to support children and young people. We learnt that they try and help build resilience so we took part in some activities to try and help us become more resilient. These included cross the river, mirror challenge and blindfold assault course.
