In crew, we have worked on really unpicking how we show respect and manners around school. We thought of some great examples such as “saying please and thank you when I get my dinner” and “holding the door open for my crew”. The most important message that Crew Thompson came up with was “treat others how we would want to be treated”.
We are determined in MI to ensure we can tie our shoe laces so we have been busy practising this morning! 🙂
Today in our caring crew we discussed the importance of respectful relationships. We thought about times where others may have not shown respect for us personally and how this made us feel. We then watched a clip all around respect. We stopped the clip at different points and discussed what was happening. We were really shocked with how the clip ended and it really made us think about what had actually happened. We discussed what we would do if we saw things happening in the clip and then thought about times where we had seen others not showing respect. It was great to just voice our ideas and listen to the stories of others. In our debrief we went back to our guiding question of ‘Why should I respect other people?’ we discussed this again, offering our thoughts and opinions. A great crew session 🙂
For today’s crew challenge, Crew Hamill got into pairs to go head to head in a game of Toe Tag. We had to stand back to back and on a given signal turn around and try to tap our partner’s toes with our own. The first person to 3 tags, was the winner!
Today we thought about why we have laws and what can happen if we break the law. We began by thinking about what we already know about the law in our country and what these laws do. We then looked at some of our British laws and we discussed in mini crews how they help and protect British citizens. We then moved onto thinking about consequences and what consequences there may be for people that break the law. We looked at a variety of pictures where people have made bad choices. We discussed the consequences that may have been in place. Finally we closed our eyes and imagined what the world would be like without any laws. We voiced one word to describe our thoughts and shared our feelings with the whole crew.
This week in our citizenship crew we discussed what a community is and what it means to belong to one. We thought about our school community, who is part of it and how each person contributes. We thought about the term ‘community spirit’ and what it means to us. We then worked in mini crews to explore some images of a community. We thought about what is happening in each picture, how the people are contributing to the community and how the people are showing ‘community spirit’. In our debrief we thought about how we all could positively contribute to our communities and we made our own pledges. A great session crew MI 🙂
A great start to the day in Crew MI, we tried creating a human alphabet! Some great communication and team work this morning!
Today we thought about and discussed how we can resolve conflict within a friendship. We thought about different friendships and the times we have fallen out. We discussed how we resolved the conflict and the different ways we can solve problems. We then looked at a variety of scenarios and thought about what we would do in the different situations. Some great discussions this morning 🙂
Today in Crew, we completed a kids vs adults DannyGo to get our bodies moving. All the children enjoyed working as a team vs Miss Pashley and Mrs Brown.
This morning, Crew Hamill took part in a Crew Challenge in which they had to work in mini crews to create the tallest, free-standing tower using their shoes. They worked together to stack their shoes in order to create towers. Can you see which mini crew made the tallest tower?
