In crew MW this morning, our crew worked together to play a game called ‘happy families’. We had to communicate with each other to find all of the family in our colour group. We found this a little bit tricky today as we had to use our words, rather than show each other our cards, but in our de-brief, we talked about what we could do differently next time. We can’t wait to play this game again in crew challenge to see if we can be even better at it!
This morning in our challenge crew session, we looked at ourselves and how frustration can affect us. The task was simple: follow the instructions to make ‘The Harrier’ (a simple, effective paper plane). We learned that following instructions can sometimes be tricky and that it can sometimes be difficult to ask for support, especially when those around us seem to be finding something easy. Our debrief gave us the opportunity to think about how to overcome these reservations and frustrations during lessons so we can be the best versions of ourselves and develop our resilience!
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 🙂
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.
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!
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.
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 🙂
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 🙂
