Scottys – follow the instructions 👂🏻

This morning in our Scottys session, we had to use our listening skills and our communications skills to navigate our way around the obstacle course. We had to make sure we were giving clear instructions so that the listener knew exactly what to do. However, we also had to make sure we were listening carefully so we were doing to correct thing. Teamwork was essential in todays Scottys session in order to be successful.

Casualty rescue…

Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.

COJO fun!

We had lots of fun completing our COJO challenge this morning in Crew MW. We flew to the jungle and had to tip toe through the swamp without waking up the crocodiles! We balanced, climbed, jumped and crawled our way through the swamp, and we managed to do it without waking up any of the crocodiles! 🐊

Reliable rescuers ⛑🚑

In Scotty’s this morning, we continued to work on developing our teamwork skills. First, we had a warm up game where we worked as a team to reach the other side. Then, we had a go at making a stretcher to help rescue injured people. This required working as a team as we had to make sure we lifted at exactly the same time. We were all so pleased with our efforts today and can’t wait to take these skills onto the field.

Crew MW – PE

We have been continuing to work on our ball skills during PE this week. We began by rolling the ball to our partner who used their foot to stop it before passing it back by kicking it. Once we were feeling more confident, we then moved on to passing the ball with our feet, trying to increase the distance between us and our partner. We then built on this by dribbling the ball around the hall, stopping at the cones to pass the ball to our partner between them before continuing to another pair of cones. We worked really hard to keep the ball controlled when moving around the hall and we did a great job of working well together.
