In Crew Shields, we have been chatting a lot this week about taking ownership of our learning and how important it is to practice the areas that we know we find a little tricky. It was great to see some children bringing in some of the things they have been practicing. Keep it up Superstars.

Keeping our school community clean
A great job by Crew Shields this afternoon as they supported the rest of the crews with keeping our school community clean and safe.
They had a short time outside but managed to fill a couple of bags with rubbish. The most fascinating thing found was some small bones so only naturally they had to have a picture taken with it.
Scotty’s Heroes
During Scotty’s heroes today, the children were challenged to complete an assault course while blindfolded. They had to work in pairs so they could guide each other through safely. This required clear and precise instructions not only to get through the course but to keep each other safe. Some great instructions and collaboration. Well done Crew Shields.
KS2 Girls Football
On behalf of Coach Luke (Active Fusion) we would like to invite any girls in KS2 (Year 3, 4, 5 and 6) to attend a football try-out on Wednesday evenings after school (3:00-4:00) in preparation for some upcoming tournaments. Please sign up via ParentPay to secure your place!
Litter Picking – Crew Shields
Tomorrow afternoon, the children will be spending a short time outside to support the school community to keep the area safe and tidy.
It has been rather wet recently so it may be beneficial for them to bring a spare pair of shoes/trainers where it doesn’t matter if they get a bit muddy.
Thank you
Mirror Mirror
I love the Crew activities that Mrs Rhodes challenges us to on a Tuesday. Today the children had to work with a partner to decide how they would get from one side of the playground to the other. Sounds easy enough, however, they had to be in sync with each other and mirror each others moves. There were lots of giggle this morning as children collaborated on how they would complete the task. Some fantastic speaking and listening happening between the pairs. We had some children doing the crab, ballet, skipping and even cartwheels. Lots of fun had by all.
Multistep Maths
Oh the brains in Crew Shields were tested this morning. We have finished up our addition and subtraction unit with multistep problems. This is an area that children can find tricky as there is more to think about to ensure they arrive at the correct answer. It was great seeing them get stuck in and challenge themselves. Good job everyone!
Witches and Wizards Disco
Don’t forget to sign up for the Halloween Witches and Wizards disco, taking place tomorrow.
If you would like your child to attend please ensure you have signed up before 3pm today! Unfortunately we can not accept payment any later due to organising refreshments and staffing.
All children will enter through their classroom doors tomorrow for the disco at 3.30pm where they will be registered if payment has been made. We ask that children are collected at 4.30pm from their classroom doors.
