Thank you so much to everyone who came to our celebration of learning after school tonight. It was amazing to see the children sharing their beautiful work with their friends and families. They have worked so hard over the past term and loved our ‘Blue Planet’ expedition. We hope you all have a lovely Easter and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. KS1 Crew x
This week we unpicked what habits we have. We decided whether these were good habits or bad habits and then looked at how we could improve these habits! We have some great habits such as reading to calm down, going swimming each week and listening to music but we definitely need to improve some bad habits like picking our finger nails.
In our Crew this morning, we shared our feelings and started to learn about how to keep our minds healthy. We unpicked what the word ‘mental’ means and then discussed ‘mental well-being’. After a crew conversation around what we all enjoy doing, we completed a yoga task to start our day off calmly and positive.
During our debrief, we reflected on what we had learned about why it is important to look after ourselves.
Summer, ‘It is important to keep mentally healthy so that you can be positive.’
Levi, ‘If you have a good mental health you can think better and clearer.’
Lydia, ‘It’s important to look after ourselves to live a happy and healthy life.’
Shelby, ‘The yoga was calming and can help you let out any stresses. You can do this at home too.’
Joshua, ‘I am going to try and make sure I sleep for longer to be healthier.’
We had an extended crew this morning doing cojo. They really enjoyed this and making the assault course bigger each time.
In our mindful crew session this week, we looked at how sometimes we can feel lonely. We had a great discussion about what feeling lonely meant and how we can do things which can make us feel less lonely. We then chotted these ideas down on a sheet. It was lovely to see the things that we can do to make us feel happy 😃🥰
We just love our Wednesday morning Scottys session!! We always work super hard as a team to achieve a common goal. Today, we had to work together to complete the assault course. This included carrying tyres, jumping through tyres and getting from one base to the other. We are definitely getting better at this every time we try! 💪🛞👏
Our crew challenge this week was called “drawing twins”. We had to work in pairs to try and recreate the image on the board. We had to listen very carefully to the instructions but we all had to make sure we was giving very clear and precise instructions.
Today we were scientists in our expeditionary learning and looked at animals and their offspring. We talked about how mammals give birth to live babies and how most reptiles and bird lay eggs. We matched animals and the hound as well as animals which go through a metamorphic changes so they don’t look like their mothers when they are born, such as butterflies and frogs.
Today in Crew we worked in pairs to mirror our partners. We had to pay close attention to all their body movements and some of us found it very tricky!
