Diary entry 📔📝
This week, Crew Mcloughlin have been busy writing their diary entry independently. They are writing from a 10 year olds girls perspective in 1963, who’s dad has made her attend Martin Luther Kings speech that morning. All children have thoroughly planned, used the learning environment to effectively support them and produced beautiful work in the process. I think this is our best writing yet and I cannot wait to share the final redrafts next week!
Citizenship Crew
In citizenship crew this week we have been focusing on different strengths and employability skills. We used the idea of a human knot and then discussed what skills we used during the activity: the children mentioned communication, teamwork, leadership and problem solving. We explored other skills like enthusiasm and ability to take critique which they displayed too.
We debriefed why we thought these skills would be important to an employer and identified employability skills we already had. Crew Mcloughlin are really showing maturity when exploring careers related learning and it lovely to see them all having dreams and ambition 🤩
UKS2 break time
Another day, another activity packed break time in UKS2. We really appreciate having an endless choice of activities at break times: we love participating in a football match, perfecting our aims in the basketball hoop, scooting, skipping with friends or playing bat and ball, balancing on the trim trail or just having a good chat on the bench 😊
XP Outdoors
Whole year 6 challenge
Lovely crew challenge this morning playing zip , bop and zap.
🛴Scooting our way to HoWL success in UKS2 🛴
Friday morning break time was spent on scooters! Our crew leaders chose 5 children that had awesome hoWLs all week to enjoy a Friday morning treat. Miss Mcloughlin was super impressed with how sensible these children were when walking the scooters from the hall to the mugga, it reflected awesome be kind hoWLs😃 I wonder who can earn it next week?
Y6 home learning
Over the long weekend, we are asking children to read chapter 3 and 4 of our class reading book ‘Clean Getaway’. We know they’ve been really enjoying reading this in class and would like to give them the opportunity to read for pleasure at home. Happy reading! 📖

February half term camp!
We have exciting news again, Active Fusion are hosting camps at out school in February half term (Monday 13th – Friday 17th February). Camps will cost £6 per day and children we need to bring their own pack lunch. The reason camps are charged this time is because Active Fusion are not receiving any funding from the government.

A ’YES’ morning
On Friday in Crew Mcloughlin we had a YES morning 😬 For our crew check in, miss got us to think of one question each to ask and she would say “Yes” to everything (within reason, of course). Our favourite request was playing on scooters at break time.
