Personal Development
French – Crew Shields 🇫🇷👖👚
We have been looking at items of clothing and identifying any cognates or near cognates with the translations. We then discussed the different nouns for clothing items and how the determiner changes depending on whether it is masculine, feminine or plural. We applied our new knowledge by completing a written task that required us to think about the rules of the French language and whether the determiners we had chosen were appropriate for the noun. We worked really hard and the discussions we had in our groups were really helpful.
French – Crew Hamill, Crew Thompson and Crew Mcloughlin 🇫🇷🖼🎄
We have used our French knowledge of shape, colour and size to complete a number of different activities to help to embed our learning.
Colour splat – Who can splat the correct colour in the fastest time?
Listen carefully – Who can identify the correct colour and hold up the corresponding block? Can you listen to the sequence and create the matching tower?
Shape matching – Who can identify the correct shape AND the correct colour? Can you work as a team to be the quickest team to do this correctly?
Christmas craft – Using the shapes and colours we have looked at, can you create a Christmas image? Could you describe the shapes you used to create your image in French?
Festive library visit 🎄🎅🏼📚
Crew MW absolutely love going to the library, even more so when we decide to get comfy on the cushions and read a festive story with the lights off!
Mindful Meditation 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♂️🎄
We followed a festive mindful meditation tutorial.
Mindful Monday 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♂️
We enjoy taking time to regulate by following mindful meditation videos. It makes us feel nice and calm and ready to learn first thing on a Monday morning. 😌
Christmas Fun! 🎅🏼🎄✨🫶🏻
We have had LOTS of Christmas fun in Crew MW!
For most of us, it was our very first school Christmas dinner! We loved seeing the hall festively decorated and we really enjoyed our dinner! Thank you to all the lunch time staff who did a great job! We took our pudding back to the classroom and enjoyed it whilst watching a Christmas film.
We also enjoyed our Christmas Party Day! We played lots of fun games that included a LOT of dancing, as well as pass the parcel. Once we were party gamed out, we sat down to enjoy our party food. Again, thank you to the lunch time staff for our yummy food!
Acro skills showcase 🤸🏼♀️
This afternoon Acro lunchtime club held an assembly to show us everything they had learnt over the last 6 weeks. We were all impressed with how many skills they had learnt and how well they all performed. Well done acro club! We cannot wait to see how much more you learn next half term!
Jigsaw crew challenge 🧩
Our crew challenge for this week was to work together in mini crews to complete a jigsaw. We developed our team work skills, communication and listening skills to work together to see which team could complete the jigsaw the fastest. Throughout the challenge, we debriefed to discuss what was working well and what we thought we needed to improve. This helped come up with strategies like sorting the pieces, doing the edges first, each team member trying to complete a different section of the jigsaw to then put together at the end.
Crew Challenge-Can you tie your shoelaces?
Some of us are still finding tying our shoelaces a challenge so Crew Boswell worked with a partner to teach each other how to tie our shoelaces. We had show to show good communication, perseverance and lots of patience. We hope to now be able to teach some of the younger children in our school.
