In crew Marsh this morning we were challenged to play keep it up, in our smaller crews we had to keep the balloon in the air and make sure it did not touch the floor. We were super up this!
Crew challenge in Crew Marsh 🎈

Caring Crew in MI
Today we explored emotions and thought about times we have experienced different types of emotions. We then looked at some short letter scenarios where we tried to help the person involved solve the problem. We identified the emotions involved then thought if we had ever felt the emotion ourselves. We had some great discussions this morning 🙂
Challenge Crew 🎶
In challenge crew today, we circled up and had to work together as a team to pass around the object without making a sound. We started with a tambourine and then tried passing round Mrs Bidmead’s lanyard. We had our problem solving heads on and soon came up with solutions on how to pass them round quietly.
Mindful Monday 🧘🏻
During crew, we discussed what we can do to regulate our emotions. We looked at recognising how we can feel and then discussed ways in which we can help regulate ourselves. Some of the ideas we came up with were taking deep breaths, going for a walk or asking for help.

Today we worked together to build a jigsaw. We tried to use effective communication and teamwork in order to complete the challenge.
Crew MW library visit 📚
Today we visited one of our favourite areas of school… the library! 🥰 Very kindly, Harlow brought in one of her lovely books from home ‘Peppa goes to London’ and we decided to take that with us to read as we got comfy in the library.
Before we left, we chose a book from the basket to take back to the classroom to read during snack time later on this week.
Mindful Monday – Butterfly Hug 🦋
During crew this morning, we talked about times we might have ‘big feelings’ and feel overwhelmed. We discussed why we might feel this way and how we could begin to regulate ourselves. We looked at butterfly hugs and how they can help us feel calm. We finished our session by saying positive affirmations to start our day on a high!
Writing practice
Pupils enjoyed their first day back in class today – lots of activities and learning tasks, including some super engagement in writing.
Mental and physical health in Crew MI
Today in our caring crew, we explored physical and mental health. We discussed what we can do to ensure we maintain good physical health but also why it is important to keep our minds healthy too. We had a go at some yoga this morning which really set up us for the day! We remained calm, creating a very peaceful environment.
Chinese New Year 🐲🧧
As part of our expedition, we have been looking at Chinese New Year and the traditions associated with it. We looked at the tradition of giving red envelopes containing money to children to bring them good fortune, good luck and blessings. This tradition now extends to giving envelopes to extended family, friends and colleagues.
To spread good fortune, luck and blessings to our school community, we decided to fill red envelopes with chocolate coins to give to the adults in our school who help us and keep us safe. We worked together to fill them and then took them around school, wishing each crew a happy Chinese New Year.
