Citizenship crew in MI

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.

Citizenship crew in MI

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 🙂

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 🙂

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?

Road safety week continues in MI

During our crew session this morning, we explored a variety of statements thinking about if they are true, false or both true and false. We worked well in mini crews to discuss our ideas. We then watched a clip that explored speed in more detail. We had some great discussions this morning 🙂

Anti-bullying week

This morning in crew, we looked at a story called ‘Topsy and Tim help a friend’. We paused the video to look at the different actions each character carried out and discussed whether they were kind choices, or unkind choices. Here were some of the things we talked about…

What were the unkind children doing?

They tripped the boy up! – Emma

Then they laughed at him when he fell down – Harlow

They threw his bag – Araya

They were bullying him! – Kingsley

Because they did lots of unkind things, not just one and it made it made him sad – Hilaryanna.

They tricked him! – Alyssa

What did Topsy and Tim do to help?

They told the grown ups – Elsie

Then the grown ups talked to all the children. The boy was kind then and he said sorry – Max

We learnt a lot about kind and unkind actions from this story!

Anti bullying week continues in MI

Today in crew we thought more about what bullying is and the different types. We thought about the impacts of it and how bullying influences a persons life and well being. We then looked at and discussed a variety of scenarios with our partner before sharing them with the whole crew and thinking about the impact of each situation. It was a very interesting discussion and opened our eyes a little more to the impact of bullying.

Crew Building!

This morning’s crew challenge was to work in a mini crew to build the tallest tower! We decided to use our blocks from the small world area and to work in teams of boys and girls to create the towers. We worked hard to make sure everyone was included and to build the tallest, strongest towers!
