Carcroft Changemaker

Auditions have begun in Crew Mcloughlin – who has what it takes to be a Carcroft Changemaker? We had 8 children go head to head in a battle to win, simply by giving a one minute speech about why they would be good for the role. It all came down to that last vote, it was very close but we have our winner… Alicia.

Well done! I am sure you are going to exceed in your role as Carcroft Changemaker.

Caring crew in MI

We started to discuss our families in crew time this morning. First of all, we played a game of swap where we had to move places with others in the circle if we shared something the same. This included brothers, sisters and pets! We were then given different pictures that were cut up, we had to build the pictures thinking about what we could see and what was the same and different. From here we started to think about our own family, we drew them, described them and added words to describe their characters. We then shared our creations with our partners and then the whole crew. Our debrief involved us thinking about our role as a member of our crew. We discussed our ideas well and related lots of our discussions to our howls. A great start to the day in MI 🙂

Citizenship crew in MI

Today we discussed the attributes that make a good team. We thought about any teams we admire then thought about the attributes of these teams. ‘Together everyone achieves more’ We thought about what this means in a variety of situations. We discussed any good teams we already know and what actually makes a good team. From here we thought about our crew and how we are also a small team. We worked in mini crews to discuss which attributes make a good team and what we need to be part of crew MI. We then shared these with the whole crew. Some great discussions MI 🙂

Blind mice challenge crew in MI

Today we tested our listening, team work and problem solving skills! MI took part in an obstacle course where they worked in pairs. One team member completed the obstacle course whilst their partner gave them verbal instructions. There was however one catch, the person completing the course was wearing a blind fold! MI what a great job you did 🙂
