The weather has been beautiful this week and it has allowed us to have lots of fun outside! We also did another assault course during crew because we enjoyed it SO much last week 💪🏼
Fun in the sun! ☀️

Ameena’s Beautiful Work 🎨
I am so proud of Ameena, she followed every instruction to produce her beautiful Peter Thorpe artwork. I can’t wait to see your painting next!
Future artist…
This morning in crew we had the pleasure of viewing the art work of Kaylum and we have decided that children will have more opportunities to share their interests with us.
Kaylum is a budding artist and often brings in stuff for our tabletop display. He has brought in his sketchbook from home today and we are truly blown away. I’m sure you will as well.
We have set Kaylum a challenge – Can he create us a sign for our door that says Crew Shields surrounded by images that reminds him of people in the crew. Watch this space…
Out of this world 🪐☄️🚀
We have been exploring the artist, Peter Thorpe, he’s an American artist who creates abstract art about space. We have started to generate out own ideas in the style of Peter Thorpe.
Getting creative 🎨✨🧱
Look at some of our wonderful creations! We’ve been getting experimental, using the craft resources, as well as the stickle bricks to make wonderful, imaginative creations.
Super Sewers
A discussion in Crew Godley led to a revelation that some of the children had never sewn before 🧵🪡 We decided that this important life skill would be something really exciting to add to our labs this week. The crew have had great fun practicing how to thread and hold a needle. Jax has also found a new talent, not only is he a super artist but also a great sewer too!
Fantastic Fossils!
Today, we looked at what fossils are and the process of fossil formation. First, we made our own fossils in modelling clay. We found this really interesting and loved seeing the patterns appear in the clay. We then worked in mini crews to order the process of fossil formation.
