After a busy morning learning patterns and phonics in Crew Haigh today – we were very excited to finish the day with a visit to the bounty castle.

World Book Day Fun
Pupils enjoyed an interactive world book day in Crew Haigh, we shared book, sensory stories and especially enjoyed making sandwiches for our tea party
Goldilocks – Writing, Sharing, Exploring and more…
The pupils in Crew Haigh have enjoyed their latest story; Goldilocks And The Three Bears. Sensory story props, making porridge and edible bears (which we obviously loved!) all whilst developing those important motor skills that will help develop our writing – some superb communication and sharing too!
Earth Day – Seed Bombs
To celebrate Earth Day, we spent time in our XP Outdoors crew session making seed bombs!
We used flour, wildflower seeds, compost and water and mixed them altogether to create a mixture. We then took this mixture and rolled it into golf-sized balls and put them aside to dry. Once they are dry we will take some home but also plant some in our outdoor area at school. Seed bombs simply need to be dropped into soil and nature will do the rest. Over time they will turn into beautiful wildflowers!
Paper tower challenge
Crew Godley had a great time trying to build the tallest tower using only paper and cellotape. We worked in groups to find ways to make our towers tall but also sturdy so that they could stand up on their own.
Caring Crew in MI
Today we talked about the the physical and mental benefits of being active. We discussed the last activity we did that was physically demanding then discussed the main benefits of physical activity. Our activity allowed us to think about the practical ways that can increase our physical activity levels. Our debrief allowed us to make our own pledges that will increase our own physical and mental wellbeing.
Monday crew- Earth day!
In crew this morning, we celebrate Earth day and found out it’s theme this year is planet vs plastic. We was really excited to find this out as we managed to use our recent expedition knowledge (final product) to support our thinking. We know lots of ways to protect our planet such as, recycling, using less plastic, using bikes, turning off the taps, turning off the lights, planting trees and reduce our waste. We then completed a sorting activity based on what things are good for the planet and what things are bad for the planet. We need to protect our planet everyday, not just on Earth Day as there is no planet B!
Celebrating our HoWLs
Crew Robson had such a fun time on the inflatable. We work so hard to improve our HoWLs and always try to be the best we can be. It was lovely to celebrate with our peers and have fun outside!
Celebrating our HoWLs
Crew Marsh laughed and bounced their way through the inflatable course and slide. We work so hard to ensure our HoWLs are of a high standard and look forward to celebrating our achievements in such a fun way! Crew doesn’t stop when we’re having fun, the children worked together as a team offering praise and encouragement to their peers who found it tricky! Especially Miss Holdsworth, she needed the crew to help her reach the top of the slide and everyone’s resilience paid off! It was such great fun!
Easter Egg Hunt
Crew Hamill had SO much fun taking part in the school easter egg hunt today! The first clue was delivered to our classroom which led us to five other clues hidden around school. We were able successfully follow the clues all the way to the office where our final clue contained a riddle! We solved this riddle successfully and have earned ourselves a eggcellent prize – a cadbury cream egg each!! Can you solve the riddle? “I’m tall when I’m young and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?”
What makes us happy? ☺️☀️
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 😃🥰
Crew Challenge!
This morning in crew, we were challenged to build a tower in small crew circles using different resources. One crew used wooden blocks and the other crew used duplo. Miss Welburn also set us a HOWLs challenge to make sure that we were all working hard by showing we were involved and taking part in the challenge. We worked really well in our small crew circles and we built some fantastic towers! We also worked really hard to make sure that everyone was involved and taking part. Well done Crew MW!
Citizenship crew – is it fair?
Today we looked at what the word fair means and that it does not mean that everyone has to have the same or equal all of the time. We voted on different situations with our voting cards.
