Despite it being the first day back, Crew Shields made a visit to the library so that children could get cracking with reading at home. We know the importance of reading regularly to support children with their fluency and understanding. We discuss that I will be checking books on a Friday and recording their reading sessions. Raffles up for grabs for those avid readers.
In Crew Marsh we read and unpicked the book Rainbow fish, we learnt that the fish was not kind at the start of the book but became kind towards the end. We linked this to our be kind Howls. Then the children created their own rainbow fish which is going to go in our crew kindness fish tank. All children did an amazing job at describing their rainbow fish with an adjective.
We have all been busy today developing our new crew. We have taken part in lots of team building and communication activities which have allowed us to work together effectively. We really enjoyed building a marshmallow tower, seeing who could construct the tallest tower. We also played railroad tracks where Mrs McClare called out different opposites and we had to decide which we preferred! We also used balloons and slips of paper to get to know each other a little better. We all wrote a question on our slip of paper then placed it inside our balloon before blowing it up. We then circled up, taking it in turns to pop our balloons and read out the question inside. We all shared our answers.
We also started our art work on printing. We discussed lots of things about ourselves then used this in our art work to create a picture that represents us. We created a key where different shapes represented different things about ourselves. We then printed our shapes using different colours and we also tried to layer our shapes in different ways.
Crew Marsh have loved reading with Ruby at home over the last few weeks and as a crew we have enjoyed seeing what they have been up to.
Today Mrs Rhodes celebrated the children who have been playing football with her for most of the year.
They have shown great sportsmanship and a willingness to improve their skill. Lovely to see some of the year 5 girls wanting to get involved also.
Massive well done to everyone.
