Today, Crew Shields have created some posters using the vocabulary we collected yesterday about the negatives of bullying. Children were using the quote, ‘Words hurt more than you know’ and had to create a poster. Some lovely posters created and loved how some children reflected on their first attempt and asked to do it again because they knew they could make it better.

An exciting start to our Wednesday morning as we welcomed some of our parents to join us. We started the morning by getting ourselves into height order including the grown ups to get our communication skills warmed up. We then completed a cojo challenge where we had to get the ball from one end of the hall to the other. Children worked collaboratively to get the ball into the bucket but what really made me smile was how they encouraged each other even when they missed the bucket. Some great crew skills being demonstrated during this activity.

Huge shout out to the parents who got full involved with the activity. Thank you for joining in and coming to visit us in our new crew.

It has been a lovely day in Crew Shields. We have spent some time reminding ourselves of the expectations which most children had remembered from Year 3. This led us into watching a short video where we inferred it was about bullying and the importance of being inclusive. We generated a range of qualities that we look for as a crew and as a good person and then children created a jigsaw piece with their chosen quality. It was great seeing the children working collaboratively and I’m looking forward to the rest of this week.
