Today our crew challenge was the Leaning Tower of Feetza.
The children worked in small groups to build the tallest freestanding tower using only their shoes. It was lovely to see them all working together and supporting each other even if it was a little smelly afterwards!!
Year Two took a lovely scenic walk up to our local church at Owston to complete our first case study in Christianity. Along the way we ensured we were stewards of our local area and collected litter, we were praised by the public for our lovely manners and care to our community. When we arrived at the church we were excited to explore the grounds and noticed lots of old artefacts which dated back to 1086, Owston Church we discovered was also mentioned in the Doomsday Book. A fantastic piece of history, right on our doorstep!
For Tranquil Tuesday we began the day with some space yoga!
Children were so excited to visit our local park to celebrate their excellent HoWLs. These children are always kind, going above and beyond to help their peers whilst also working hard and getting smart. It was such a lovely treat!
This week in Scottie’s we had some tricky challenges to complete. Not only did we have to work in small crews in which we were blindfolded, we had to rely on our crew mates to give us specific instructions. It was tricky however we found that clear and concise instructions were the best way to solve the challenges.
In crew, we played a game called ‘Giant’s Keys’. The ‘giant’ was sat on a chair in the middle of the circle, with their keys underneath. One person in the circle had to quietly steal the keys. Once they had successfully been stolen, we all put our arms behind our backs before the giant tried to guess who had stolen their keys!
In our crew session this morning we made a raft out of twigs and pipe cleaners and put a sail in them, ready to see if they float.
Today we explored how bullying can affect our mental health. We looked at different scenarios and discussed these as a crew. We conferred that bullying happens over a long period of time, continuously. We looked at the scenarios which led to discussions around how to treat each other to ensure we all felt mentally happy and safe.
– Koa suggested that by using kind words to our friends that everyone would be happy to come to school.
– Thomas said that if he saw unkind behaviour that he would talk to a trusted adult to help him.
– Evie said that if someone is bullied they might feel upset and lonely.
– Riley suggested that if we saw a friend being left out we could be kind to them and invite them to play a game.
I am so proud of how caring Crew Godley are!
In crew this week we have being looking at mental health. Today the children looked at food and had to take the time to appreciate each bite. They had some fruit and had to think about how it looked, taste, feel, hear, see an smell. so we used our senses to find these out
Today we kickstarted our mental week off exploring what our mental health is and how we can support it. Oliver had some fantastic ideas and said a good diet, good sleep and exercise would help keep our minds healthy. We thought about things we grateful for that help us feel happy.
– Lily-Ann said her sister and family made her her safe and happy.
– Thomas said his dad made him fell happy when he plays with him.
– Charlie said he feels better when he’s goes on his exercise bike!
– Eileen-Ann said she feels happy when she does yoga.
We enjoyed some mindful yoga to wake up our minds after a busy weekend.
