Carcroft’s visit from gold medalist: James Dasalou

The whole school had an assembly with James this afternoon, and now each crew will participate in a physical activity with James! Such an inspiration to our young athletes in the making.

Cooking has began in Y5!

Today we thought about how we use and follow a recipe. To start with we made a fruit salad. We made sure we recapped food hygiene and cross contamination and ensured we were really thinking about food cleanliness. We discussed the recipe in mini crews then decided who would be responsible for each part of the process. We really developed our work hard howl by working well in mini crews ensuring we were actively participating and had a positive attitude to everything we did. We really did get smart aswell by supporting others to succeed by working collaboratively. We then moved onto our first starter, chicken traffic light kebabs. Some children were responsible for making the marinade, some cut the chicken and others chopped the peppers. Some children then used the ingredients to make the kebabs. We loved eating them at the end! A fantastic morning Crew MI, Crew Shields and Crew Boswell! We are all looking forward to making our second starter and main tomorrow.

Crew MI and Boswell play rounders

We had great fun playing rounders yesterday. We started with football rounders to get used to the rules and how to play then we progressed to rounders. First, we used a tennis racket to practise our hitting then some of us challenged ourselves to use the proper rounders bat. This was a fantastic crew activity where we worked together on our HOWLs, particularly our being kind one, where we were supportive and respectful to our peers.
