What a start to the day! This really challenged our thinking and encouraged some really effective communication skills and team working skills. Well done Crew MI 🙂

Clean Up Crew
Crew Hamill got to share in the litter picking fun last week and helped to keep Carcroft clean. We worked well as a crew and managed to find lots of litter which has made our school field a much safer place.
Litter picking!
This morning, we took advantage of the lovely sunshine and went outside on the school field to do some litter picking! We couldn’t believe how much rubbish we found!
Caring Crew ❤️
I was very lucky this morning to be able to visit Crew Thompson and what a lovely treat I had! The children were checking into crew with the question, ‘What is your spirit animal and why?’. The care and compassion the children held for each other showed how much this crew worked hard, to be kind. The children articulated beautifully why they were protectors, shy, resilient, emotional and many more qualities….. They supported and praised each other, I was blown away by the language used and how much the children had already adapted to the challenges of Year 3.
Mindful yoga 🧘🏻♂️🧘🏼♀️
During crew on Monday, we talked about different ‘sad’ feelings. We discussed that not only can people feel sad, they can feel anxious, worried, frightened, upset, afraid and scared at times too. There are lots of different reasons why people might be feeling like this and we decided that we would like to think about how to make people happy and calm again and get them into the green zone. One way that could help someone feel positive again is by doing mindful yoga. We decided to give it a try ourselves and it certainly made us feel happy – look at those super smiley faces!

Thinking about what family means to us all 🙂
Super Scottys!
This morning, we had a fab scottys session outside. We focused on working as a team and building crew relationships! This is definitely something we are going to continue to work on and develop in Crew Thompson! 🛞💪

Developing our communication and team work skills in challenge crew this morning 🙂
Caring crew in MI
We started to discuss our families in crew time this morning. First of all, we played a game of swap where we had to move places with others in the circle if we shared something the same. This included brothers, sisters and pets! We were then given different pictures that were cut up, we had to build the pictures thinking about what we could see and what was the same and different. From here we started to think about our own family, we drew them, described them and added words to describe their characters. We then shared our creations with our partners and then the whole crew. Our debrief involved us thinking about our role as a member of our crew. We discussed our ideas well and related lots of our discussions to our howls. A great start to the day in MI 🙂
Crew Hamill – First Week Back!
Last week, we had the best first as Crew Hamill. We worked towards answering our guided question: What does crew mean to me? We worked hard on developing our communication skills and our ability to work together as a team. We took part in lots of activities such as jigsaw puzzles, lego building and baking.
We got to explore our outdoor environment and discover the different leaves we have in our forest area. We used these to create some crew bunting using our fabulous wax creations! Who do you think won the competition to find the biggest leaf?!
