Today was a very challenging session, we had to really use our listening skills to guide our peers around the obstacle course. We had to show we were resilient as at times it was very tricky to direct each other. We were so proud how all the children worked together and listened carefully to instructions. Great crew work, Crew Godley!
In challenge crew, we played a game called jump in, jump out. First, we circled up and had to follow instructions “jump in” “jump out” “jump left” and “jump right”. We noticed some of us struggled with left and right so we had to work together and communicate to achieve this. Then, we moved onto a challenge and had to do what Miss Thompson said but chant back the opposite. For example if Miss Thompson said “jump left” we jumped left but had to say “jump right”. This definitely required lots of thinking and turned our brains on this morning 🧠🤔
This afternoon, Y2 explored videos and reading to understand what what we would find inside a mosque. We labelled the different areas of a mosque and learned what each area was for.
Our exit ticket was to discuss, ‘Why might it be helpful for Muslims to meet and spend time together?’
George said, ‘People won’t be lonely because they will be with friends. They could also teach each other how to pray.’
Alissa said, ‘They could meet new people.’
Harry said, ‘Their God would want people to be together and to be happy.’
In crew Marsh this morning we were challenged to play keep it up, in our smaller crews we had to keep the balloon in the air and make sure it did not touch the floor. We were super up this!
In crew this morning, we had a fantastic discussion about how important it is to be both mentally and physically healthy. We first looked at the benefits of being physically and mentally healthy and then had a go at some yoga 🧘
Today we have done our first draft of our African inspired pointillism. In Crew Godley we are painting tigers 🐯 we have critiqued these using Austin’s Butterfly ready for our second draft.
Today we were very lucky to be able to have a video call live for the Project Polar at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We were able to ask lots of questions and found out lots of information about the polar bears who live in Doncaster. We found out their skin is black and their fur is see through, they like to eat lots and meat and they enjoy playing with lots of different toys. A huge thank you to Alex who made sure we saw the polar bears swimming, walking and snoozing!
Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.
