Over this past week the children have been impressing me ready for next year with poems and short stories. I am already so excited 😬

Year 3/4 transition week update!
What a great start to our new Year 3/4 classes. After a bit of settling in, we have been able to complete some Crew building activities. We built spaghetti and marshmallow towers – the aim was to build the highest structure we could with the same amount of items. This has helped us feel more comfortable with each other!
Throughout the week, so far, we have also been looking at the book Small Things. We have been having many discussions about feelings and worries, in order to help settle us. These interesting discussions have been a fantastic way of getting to know our new Crews and how we can help them feel better when they aren’t quite feeling themselves!
Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the week, where we will share our sketches of London monuments. This is preparing us for our new Expedition in Autumn! 👀👀

A carousel of maths in MI
Before we started transition week, we got to work on some times tables practise. We took part in a carousel of activities including bingo with Mrs McClare, rapid recall of all our times tables, times tables rockstar work and a number card game. We worked against a timer, pushing ourselves whilst concentrating on each task. Great work Crew MI 🙂
Day 2 of Crew Fox cooking
Today was time for the main course… traffic light chicken kebabs! Before our cooking and preparation began, we learned about cross contamination. This was important to understand so that we are staying safe whilst cooking.
First we made the marinade using paprika, tomato ketchup and chopped garlic. Then we chopped the chicken in to large chunks before we marinated it thoroughly. Whilst some of us were chopping chicken, others were chopping peppers into large chunks. Finally, we created the skewers and cooked them in the oven. Delicious!

Crew MI 7.7.22 Pancakes…
We’ve been cooking again today. Today, we really enjoyed making healthy pancakes. We worked in groups and took it in turns to measure and mix the ingredients. When the mixture was ready, we each made our own pancake and had it with fruit and yoghurt. Delicious!
Soup making!
Today during DT, we made our own tomato soup… from scratch! We followed the recipe and worked as mini crews to prepare the food before we began cooking. We were really patient with each other showing great HOWLs all morning.
Food labels – Can we identify the healthy options?
As part of our learning, we have explored the labels on food packaging. We have learned about the traffic light colouring which helps us make healthier options when buying food. We had a go at ranking the foods from most healthy to least healthy. Some children were shocked by some foods they though were okay but they are actually really high in sugar.
Massive shoutout to Millie, who has brought us in loads of food packaging (pretty much a weeks worth of packaging) and to the other children who contributed some food packets. I love how Crew Shields are always willing and eager to bring in resources from home to support the learning in class while also taking the pressure off myself to find everything. This is most definitely what crew is all about! 💖
