We have received a new device in Crew Welburn which we are absolutely loving! It is called a yoto and we use it to listen to our favourite stories and songs. So far, we have listened to ‘Funnybones’, ‘The Highway Rat’ and ‘Animal Stories’. We have listened carefully and acted out parts of the stories with funny actions. We can’t wait to explore all of the other stories we have!
Blue team had a fantastic sports day this afternoon! I was so impressed with the listening, respect and kindness that each and every member showed! The icing on the cake has to be their big smiles when they found out they had won! Amazing work everyone 🙌🏻
Crew Shields have further developed their baking skills by baking some low calorie cookies. We also made a batch of gluten free cookies. Surprisingly, we all preferred the gluten free cookies.
Crew Shields are always happy when there is some kind of food involved in their day. 😋
Today we made 2 deserts, a healthy take on a muffin and a cookie. Once we had followed our recipe and made both deserts, we looked at which ingredients were included in each recipe and thought about which one was the healthiest. We also thought back to the food groups we had previously discussed. We really did enjoy eating these today! Tomorrow we will make our healthy pancakes which will be the final part of our cooking week.
Thank you again to all parents and carers, who attended sports day today. It was great to be able to have you all back attending, unlike the last two years. Images and videos from the day will be uploaded shortly… so watch this space.
Below is the link to any feedback you would like to give from todays event.
After sports day we were in need of some nutrients so we made out own fruit salad! We looked at the sugar content but discussed that these were natural sugar that occurred in fruit.
Carcroft was lucky to have a visit from the second fastest man in Britain – James Dasaolu. We were lucky to hear about the journey James took to reach the top of his sport and even compete at two Olympic Games.
James was very inspiring as he spoke about his lows and how it motivated him to reach the highs, which led to him setting the second fastest time in British history for the 100m. He ran a staggering 9.91 seconds, which was the equivalent of 25mph.
The children listened amazingly well and were hanging on James’ every word. They loved asking a variety of questions and some were unique, which James had never been asked before. After the the questions, each year group was lucky to have a circuit training session with James. He definitely put Years 1 to 6 through their paces.
We will be handing out the gold, silver and bronze awards when we receive them in due course. This should be soon.
This week has seen us testing and developing our culinary skills. To begin we have made some healthy tomato soup and it was great to see everyone trying it especially the children who said they don’t like soup. This really demonstrate a positive attitude to new things. Even better that some children have asked for the recipe so they can try it with their family.
Once we had finished our soup, we made some healthy pizzas. We have even been tried a gluten free pizza base today. This was so we could experience the food that one of our crew members has to eat due to having to follow a gluten free diet. Most of us couldn’t taste the difference which was great.
