Personal Development
A huge well done to everyone that entered the Egg decorating competition. Some fantastic ideas and lots of effort put into which was great to see.
Big shout out to Tony and Ruby who were voted for by the crew for having the best entries.
I loved finishing the term with our acro and cheerleading showcase. It was amazing seeing the children show off their routines they have been practising. I know some of the children were nervous but I left feeling so proud of them all and it was lovely to see how proud they were too!
In our Crew this morning, we shared our feelings and started to learn about how to keep our minds healthy. We unpicked what the word ‘mental’ means and then discussed ‘mental well-being’. After a crew conversation around what we all enjoy doing, we completed a yoga task to start our day off calmly and positive.
During our debrief, we reflected on what we had learned about why it is important to look after ourselves.
Summer, ‘It is important to keep mentally healthy so that you can be positive.’
Levi, ‘If you have a good mental health you can think better and clearer.’
Lydia, ‘It’s important to look after ourselves to live a happy and healthy life.’
Shelby, ‘The yoga was calming and can help you let out any stresses. You can do this at home too.’
Joshua, ‘I am going to try and make sure I sleep for longer to be healthier.’
We just love our Wednesday morning Scottys session!! We always work super hard as a team to achieve a common goal. Today, we had to work together to complete the assault course. This included carrying tyres, jumping through tyres and getting from one base to the other. We are definitely getting better at this every time we try! 💪🛞👏
Our crew challenge this week was called “drawing twins”. We had to work in pairs to try and recreate the image on the board. We had to listen very carefully to the instructions but we all had to make sure we was giving very clear and precise instructions.
This morning on Scotties, we’ve been outside working on our team building. We had engineers and medics who had additional responsibilities to ensure the survival of their team. Some great team work from the Crew.
Yesterday morning, we had a crew Challenge where we partnered up. One partner had to give the instructions while the other drew based on the instructions.
When we debriefed, the crew said they found things challenging because of not being able to hear, instructions not being clear or not knowing what they meant. Despite the final images, the crew really enjoyed this activity as you’ll be able to tell from their faces in the pictures.
Today we have been looking at how we can react to things outside of our control and who we could talk to when our feelings change. The children came up with situations that they feel they’re in control of and those that they’re not before sorting those and others into what’s in their circle of control and what’s not.
What an AMAZING day we have had today at Active Fusions festival of sport. We have participated in a range of activities such as rugby, seated volleyball, team building, ballet and taekwondo! We even got to run a lap on the track! 🏃♀️💨We had so much fun and can’t wait for the next one! 😃😃
