Citizenship crew in Crew Thompson

28th February 2024Kate Thompson

This morning we looked at what it meant to be “fit as a fiddle”. We investigated what it meant to be physically and mentally healthy where we were able to use our knowledge from Mindful Monday crew. We then looked at how we can keep our head, heart and muscles healthy. We came up with some great ideas for example, exercise for 30 minutes a day, eat your 5 a day, drink plenty of water, get lots of sleep and play with our friends. 🍎💧🏃🏻‍♂️ We then sorted out the different things into the correct box.

Crew MI- Crew lesson- We are all unique 💖

25th February 2024Emily Ibbotson

Last week, in Crew, we thought about what makes us unique and special. We acted out scenarios and thought about how the people felt in them and why. We offered advice but also reflected on what we would have done. It was a great session to celebrate everyone’s ‘uniqueness’ and how we are all special and contribute to this world in our own ways.

Casualty rescue…

22nd February 2024Ruth Shields

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.

Citizenship Crew 🧍🏻❌

21st February 2024Kate Thompson

In crew this morning, we looked at what happens to my body and I can get help with any concerns. To be successful in this lesson we had to understand what sort of touch we are happy with and what sort of touch we are not happy with, know the difference between a little deal and a serious problem and know how to get help for myself or others. First, we looked at the choices we make at home, school and outside. Then, we used colours to highlight areas on our body which we were ok for people to touch, areas only our close family and friends could touch and areas that are private and only ourselves can touch.

Crew Shields – Music 🎶

20th February 2024Sarah Mcglone

We continued our music unit ‘The Doot Doot Song’ by warming up doing ‘The stomp canon’. This gave us the chance to warm up our voices and our bodies.

To begin our lesson, we talked about chords and triads. Using glockenspiels, we worked as a group of 3 to play C major, F major and A minor. Once we had practised keeping in time with one another as a group, we then tried playing each chord as a whole class ensemble before moving from chord to chord to create a short 3 bar piece of music.

Finally, we recapped the notes B, A and G on the recorder, and applied this to a short tune where we had to move between the 3 notes seamlessly.
