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!

Splashing Fun at the School Water Fight!
What a fantastic way to cool down in the warm weather!
The Hub children especially enjoyed joining in with the excitement. They loved taking part alongside their friends and were thrilled to have their very own water fight too!
It was wonderful to see everyone having such a great time and enjoying the sunshine safely together.
A Busy and Exciting Day!
Today was a very exciting day, our chrysalises transformed into beautiful butterflies! The children were fascinated to see the butterflies for the first time, they’re not quite ready to be released just yet though!
With the weather being so hot, we also found some fun ways to keep cool. The children enjoyed dipping their feet in water and cooling down with delicious ice lollies, which were a big hit with everyone!
Forest School Crew Challenge
Crew McLoughlin and Crew Gray recently took part in an exciting Forest School challenge using the game Go Find It Too! Working in small groups, the children were given cards showing different objects, colours, textures, and features to find in the natural environment. They explored the Forest School area carefully, searching for items that matched the cards while demonstrating excellent teamwork, communication, and observation skills. The challenge encouraged the children to work together, discuss their ideas, and look closely at the world around them, helping to develop their problem-solving skills while enjoying outdoor learning. Everyone showed great enthusiasm and determination throughout the activity, making it a fun and successful challenge for all involved. 🌿🔍🍂
M + M Productions Visit Our School
On Friday, we were delighted to welcome M + M Productions to our school to perform the classic story The Railway Children.
The performance was fantastic, and the whole school thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors brought the story to life and encouraged lots of audience participation. Our Hub children especially loved getting involved, singing, dancing, and joining in with the fun.
Thank you to M + M Productions for such an enjoyable and memorable experience!
Water Safety with Yorkshire Water
Today we took part in a water safety live lesson hosted by Yorkshire Water.
We learnt about the dangers of open water and staying SAFE (stay away from the edge)!
Crew: Composer Of The Week!
We have LOVED learning about a composer of the week in Crew and have come to look forward to our daily listening session. Here we are listening to our new composer Danny Elfman! We get so lost in the music it is hard not to dance or move! We then moved on to our challenge crew activity which was learning about and playing sudoku, which really tested our patience and resilience!
Crew litter pick
Measuring in maths.
Last half term, we started measuring our growing plants to see how big they would get. We were amazed to discover that in just three weeks they had grown an incredible 60cm tall!
This week’s maths focus is all about measuring and comparing size. Today we explored our classroom, measuring different objects and seeing what we could build. As our structures got taller, we practised measuring them and comparing their heights.
We also developed our counting skills by adding one more resource each time and then remeasuring to see how the height changed. This helped us to understand measurement, counting, and the concept of “one more” in a fun and practical way.
Practicing our fast running!
With the field marked out into lanes, we decided to practise how fast we could run while also learning the importance of staying in our own lane. The children showed good listening skills, waiting to start until they heard “GO!”. There was some fantastic running and listening throughout the activity. We’ve enjoyed the nice weather over the past few days, burning off some energy.
Have a lovely half term 🙂
