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.
Crew Haddock really enjoyed their cojo crew challenge.
This morning in XP Outdoors, we planted our sunflowers outside in bigger pots to that they could grow big and strong in the bright sunshine! We carefully took our plants out of their small plant pots, made a small hole in the compost and patted our sunflowers firmly into their new pot. After that, we watered them to make sure they had had a good drink, and now we will keep our fingers crossed that they carry on growing!
Crew Thompson love the opportunity to go out and litter pick on our school grounds. We enjoying cleaning our school field and looking after the environment.
