Transition – New Crew Shields

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.

UKS2 Final Product Celebration

Dear parents/carers,


Our summer expedition final product is now ready to be celebrated. The children across UKS2 have worked alongside Green Top, Plover and Norton Juniors to produce an educational video to answer the guiding question, ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ We would like to invite you into school to celebrate this video with our pupils on Wednesday 20th July at 8:50am. A selection of refreshments will be available whilst children share their final product and also share their learning from the whole summer expedition.   

Please fill in the google form to confirm your attendance. We hope you can make it!

Thank you

Crew MI 7.7.22 Pancakes…

We’ve been cooking again today. Today, we really enjoyed making healthy pancakes. We worked in groups and took it in turns to measure and mix the ingredients. When the mixture was ready, we each made our own pancake and had it with fruit and yoghurt. Delicious!

Food labels – Can we identify the healthy options?

As part of our learning, we have explored the labels on food packaging. We have learned about the traffic light colouring which helps us make healthier options when buying food. We had a go at ranking the foods from most healthy to least healthy. Some children were shocked by some foods they though were okay but they are actually really high in sugar.

Massive shoutout to Millie, who has brought us in loads of food packaging (pretty much a weeks worth of packaging) and to the other children who contributed some food packets. I love how Crew Shields are always willing and eager to bring in resources from home to support the learning in class while also taking the pressure off myself to find everything. This is most definitely what crew is all about! 💖

Pancakes – the end of our cooking journey

Over this week we have cooked a starter, main and some healthy dessert options. Today, we have enjoyed some pancakes as we discussed that everything should be eaten in moderation so we’ve had pancakes with maple syrup and raspberries.

As with everything else we’ve baked this week, we’ve had a gluten free pancakes today. We actually preferred the gluten free option. It has really surprised us that in most cases we have enjoyed the gluten free version.

Crew Welburn’s new toy!

We have received a new device in Crew Welburn which we are absolutely loving! It is called a yoto and we use it to listen to our favourite stories and songs. So far, we have listened to ‘Funnybones’, ‘The Highway Rat’ and ‘Animal Stories’. We have listened carefully and acted out parts of the stories with funny actions. We can’t wait to explore all of the other stories we have!

Cookies – Yum

Crew Shields have further developed their baking skills by baking some low calorie cookies. We also made a batch of gluten free cookies. Surprisingly, we all preferred the gluten free cookies.

Crew Shields are always happy when there is some kind of food involved in their day. 😋
