One of our crew challenges this week was the human knot. Children had to work together to untangle themselves. It was good hearing some children taking a lead and helping to instruct their peers.
Crew Challenge
Category : Crew
Welcome back Crew Shields
We’ve had a lovely week back in school and we kicked the week off by spending time focusing on crew and building positive relationships. This will allow us to have a successful year.
Our guiding questions was ‘What does crew mean to me?’ and we’ve spent lots of time talking about the importance of crew. When we shared our thoughts today some of the things children said crew is a big family, happiness, supporting each other and holding each other to account.
On Wednesday we were lucky enough to take part in an escape box challenge. This required us to really put our heads together and use each other’s strengths to help us work out all the clues. The clues were maths linked and had problems solving elements. Even I had to get the odd clue to figure out the next step.
Strengthening Crew
This week, our Crew Guiding Question was: How can crew be strengthened through acts of service?
We discussed what it meant to be part of a crew and how we could make this stronger by doing an act of service for others – something that would make them smile! 🙂 Following this, we decided that we were going to bake a tasty treat and create positive postcards to hand out to people around school that have done something kind that we are thankful for. This included the ladies in the office who work tirelessly to keep the school running, the ladies in the kitchen who prepare all our meals and some of the teachers who we feel helped us on a personal level.
We certainly felt like a solidified, happy crew once we had finished!
Space Art
Today, Crew Hamill proved what fabulous artists they are by fully engaging themselves in a painting of either the Sun or the Moon. After researching the artist Andy Warhol, we used our inspiration to create images of the Sun or Moon in outer space. We used a variety of skills and tools in order to produce these including the use of varying brush strokes, dabbing of a sponge and flicking of a toothbrush to create different elements of our image.
Week One in Crew Tymon
This week was all about getting to know our new Crew members and staff.
Learning new routines together and exploring our new setting.
Revisiting shapes in maths and having fun outside.
Escape the box in MI!
We have loved our crew activity this morning where we took part in an escape room challenge! This involved tackling a series of clues to unlock a range of different locks! We absolutely loved it! This has really helped us to build our communication skills and lots of team work was needed! We all really showed our best selves this morning and we are all proud of everyone 🙂
Boombox Fun
Miss Marsh has treated LKS2 to their own boombox which allows us to listen to music during our break times! We certainly made the most of the sunshine this morning when we danced and sang to some of our favourite songs! Shout out to Sharni-Mae for her beautiful karaoke skills!
Painting (and doughnuts!)
Painting has been a firm favourite in Crew MW this week!
After all that painting we definitely deserved a treat… doughnuts! Thank you for bringing the doughnuts in Oliver, we hope you enjoyed your birthday!
Enjoying the sunshine!
We have been enjoying the sunshine (when it appears!) in EYFS recently.
Transition Day – Crew Hamill
I had so much fun meeting my new crew on transition day! We had lots of fun taking part in team building games and I challenged them with a few activities that would give me an insight into where they are at with their writing and maths. I’m excited to get started properly next academic year!
