Attendance Award

We hreally enjoyed our attendance treat yesterday of nun and juice. This was awarded for receiving 99% attendance for last week. Well done everyone. Keep coming to school and we’ll be able to enjoy this more often.

Road safety in Crew MI

We completed a road safety course today. We practiced crossing the road safely. This meant we had to think, stop, look and listen before we crossed the road. We also had to have safe feet, walk in a straight line across the road and continue to check for traffic. We had lots of fun and can’t wait to keep practicing crossing the road safely.

Mindful colouring

In crew, we completed some mindful colouring to work on our fine motor skills and pencil grip as well as our focus and concentration. We made sure we were using the correct pencil grip and writing posture as well as staying in the lines.

Mindfulness Crew

Due to use having no community meeting this week, we took the opportunity to have a mindfulness crew session instead. This was such a lovely activity where we listened to instrumental music and used our pencil/pen to outline a splatter of paint. You could have heard a pin drop in our classroom yesterday morning. Definitely something we’ll be doing again.

Crew Challenge

In Crew challenge this week, we had to work together as a small crew to keep the balloon from touching the floor. We realised very quickly that we needed to use small taps and try to hit it straight up. Some great team work.

Citizenship crew in MI

Today we started to talk about our responsibilities towards a team. We thought about why it is important that everyone on a team fulfils their responsibilities. We worked in mini crews to think about what our responsibilities are as children. We thought about what these may be in school, at home and whilst in the local community. We produced an anchor chart with all our ideas. We then thought about how these compare to adults. We discussed respect in more detail and respecting the rights of others, caring for others and also standing up for our rights in the correct way. Some great discussions MI 🙂

Showing resilience in PE

Today in PE, we had some really tough team challenges to complete. Our first challenge was to order ourselves in various positions on including our birthdays, height and shoe size, without leaving the bench! Only one person was allowed to communicate which is always a tricky challenge in our crew!

We then moved onto ‘cross the river’ with the same rules applying. I was so impressed with how the children worked together, communicating silently to ensure they achieved their goal.

Challenge Crew

This week in crew we’ve had to work together to create a marble run, this was rather tricky and we had to show a great deal of resilience and determination to achieve our end goal. Leon was so proud his marble flew down his run!
