Final word presentations to parents in MI

3rd July 2023Stacey McClare

Myself and Mrs Ibbotson would just like to say a massive well done to all the children in Crew MI today that have delivered their final word presentations to parents, teachers and friends. We were blown away by the work that has been put into each and everyone’s presentation. You all showcased yourselves in such a positive way, reflecting on yourself as a learner, highlighting your strengths but also areas for development. We are so proud of the journey you have been on this year and can’t believe that you are all soon off to secondary school! There were many tears today, but tears of pure joy celebrating how wonderful you all are. We look forward to the next round of presentations tomorrow. Continue to be wonderful MI 🙂

RE in Crew MI

30th June 2023Emily Ibbotson

Today we continued our learning around Christianity. We listened to a range music and discussed how and why they use music in worship. We listened for similarities and differences between them. Finally, we thought about what songs were special to us and what emotions they made us feel.

We also enjoyed tasting bread and learning about the Holy Communion.

Oliver Twist 🎭

On Wednesday, we were treated to a production of Oliver Twist. This was a big deal for Crew McGlone because it was the first time we had been in the hall for a performance with the rest of the school! We absolutely LOVED IT! We loved the lights, the music, everything! We sat so beautifully as well throughout the whole performance, our teachers we so proud of how well we behaved! We can’t wait for the next production! 🎭

Celebrating Success! 🥇🎉👏🏆

This week in LKS2 we had lots of successes to celebrate in our LKS2 Community Meeting! We had three pupils who all achieved Learning Legend this week for being super mathematicians and blowing us all away with their recent arithmetic test scores!

We also celebrated all of those pupils who have been reading at home the most in each Crew, it was AMAZING to see so many pupils in Crew Thompson that had read 5 times in a week! I wonder if some others might be able to do this next week and if we can have more pupils to celebrate?! 📚

In addition to those pupils who read at home regularly we also chose a ‘Star Reader’ from each crew! This week the reasons were for, making great progress in reading fluency, participating lots during reading sessions and for excellent comprehension skills during assessment week. These pupils also got to have a special breakfast with Mrs Atherton today! I wonder who our ‘Star Readers’ will be next week?

Finally, we celebrated some extra special achievements. These boys have been working incredibly hard out of school! One for participating in a football tournament and the other for writing his own story linked to our Expeditionary learning! Fab work boys! Well done! 👏

Christianity

29th June 2023Hannah McLoughlin

In Lesson 2, we learnt about the various events that are held in churches and we built background knowledge around some of these. We used the internet to research and made an anchor chart to present back to the rest of the class.

Crew Mc has found a passion for RE, (also know as Religion education) as we all enjoy it, especially today. Ethan even joked that RE stood for ‘Really Exciting’ 😃. First off, we started with an entry ticket, trying to remember what we watched about a 11 year old boy named Nathan. Next, we listened to some hymns they sing while worshiping. Max and Brooklyn sang along with Miss and some of us recognised the song.

Then Miss came round with various types of bread: the bread represented Jesus’s flesh/body. The instructions were to thank someone in your life every time you ate a piece of bread – we filled out a HoWL card for these special people we appreciate in our lives. Miss had a smile on her face when she had received one on her desk💕

While eating, we watched a couple videos about ‘The Last Supper’ where Jesus said about how the wine represented blood and the bread represented his body.You might already know this but do you know what a holy communion is? A holy communion a ritual commemoration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. We finished with a de-brief to note down all our new learning to ensure it sticks!

RE continues in MI

28th June 2023Stacey McClare

Today we described and explained what Christians do to show their beliefs at church. We looked at some church windows and thought about what we would see if we peeped inside. We thought about how this would be different on a Sunday morning, weekday and on an evening in the week. We then explored some church notice boards thinking about what was happening. We referred back to our initial ideas thinking about if our ideas were the same. We then looked at a variety of bible quotes and thought about how they relate to the items on each of the notice boards. There was some great discussions here 🙂 Finally we chose one of the things on the notice board and researched more into it. We then shared our ideas as a mini crew before presenting to the whole crew. We all really enjoyed listening to each others ideas and finding out more about the things that happen all the time in churches. We are excited for our next RE lesson 🙂
