LKS2 Community Meeting 🏫🌟🏆

15th June 2023Sophie Elmer

Today was our last Community Meeting where it will just be us! Next week, we are very much looking forward to welcoming some of our grown ups into our Community Meetings so that we can share all of our amazing learning, celebrations, praises and appreciations!

This week we had lots to celebrate! We celebrated all of those children who took part in our Rounders Competition. Well done everyone! We are all so proud of you! 🏆

We also celebrated all of those children in each crew who read at home the most! 📚 This week’s winning crew was Crew Thompson with a total of 6 crew members reading 5 times last week! Amazing work! 🌟 I wonder which crew will take the crown next week?! 👑 We also celebrated our ‘Star Readers’ who will get to enjoy breakfast with Mrs Atherton next week! 🥐🥤

It was also nice this week to celebrate some of the children’s achievements out of school. This week we had two girls in Crew Thompson who proudly shared their medals 🥇from a recent football ⚽ tournament, where they came first! 🌟 A fantastic achievement! Well done girls! 👏

An amazing week! 🌟 We look forward to sharing more next week!

Thank you to Scarlett who shared a ballet routine with us during our morning crew. She has spent lots of time doing dance and was delighted to share it with us.

First Aid Training 🔥🚿🧑‍⚕🏥

13th June 2023Sophie Elmer

Last Friday afternoon, Crew FE had the opportunity to receive some First Aid Training to enable them to deal with some situations such as chocking and scalding. We spent the first part of the session learning about chocking and how to deal with someone who might be chocking. We learnt that if they are coughing then let them cough but the moment they are silent and turn blue then we must give them 5 back slaps and if still chocking, 5 further abdominal thrusts. Scary stuff but very worth knowing! Miss Burge and the children enjoyed demonstrating this with each other! We also then learnt about burns and the different types of burns such as chemical, hot, cold, friction and wet, and what examples of these looked like such as wet = cup of hot tea. We learnt how to deal with burns with the two most important things being: apply water for 20 minutes and then cover with cling film, yes cling film! We finished the session with learning who we should call in an emergency and what we should say. A very beneficial session and I feel that we have all come away learning something new and vital!

We love a challenge on a Tuesday morning in Crew MI

This morning, we worked in pairs to play table football and other challenges. It was quite tricky to control but then we kept on practising.

Y6 positive relationships talk

12th June 2023Stacey McClare

Y6 took part in a relationships workshop with the school nursing team, part of zone 5-19. They were able to discuss different relationships, voicing their opinions and thoughts. This was a valuable experience for our Y6’s before they move onto secondary school.

Sharing our favourite songs

9th June 2023Ruth Shields

As part of our music case study, the children have been given the opportunity to write their favourite song on a piece of paper and place it in a cup.

During our end of dy crew, we choose a song, listen and then decide whose favourite song it might be. We definitely know some of our crew well as we’ve managed to guess who it belongs to.

We’re looking forward to hearing all the rest of the songs over the next few weeks.

Another Cirque du Soleil

9th June 2023Ruth Shields

This morning it was the turn of Esme to share her interests out of school. Esme, just like Kaitlynn, regularly attends dancing comps and dances in different styles. She was going to show us some tap dancing but she changed her mind.

Lovely to see all the talent Crew Shields have.

Cirque du Soleil – Kaitlynn

9th June 2023Ruth Shields

On Thursday morning, we continued with a crew member showing some of their talents.

It was the turn of Kaitlynn who is an avid dancer. She often takes parts on comps and shares her successes the us.

After Kaitlynn showcased her talent, the question of the day was: Does Kaitlynn even have a spine? What do you think?

Future artist…

8th June 2023Ruth Shields

This morning in crew we had the pleasure of viewing the art work of Kaylum and we have decided that children will have more opportunities to share their interests with us.

Kaylum is a budding artist and often brings in stuff for our tabletop display. He has brought in his sketchbook from home today and we are truly blown away. I’m sure you will as well.

We have set Kaylum a challenge – Can he create us a sign for our door that says Crew Shields surrounded by images that reminds him of people in the crew. Watch this space…

Celebrating the Coronation in Crew Godley

5th May 2023Laura Godley

We used so many skills to create memorabilia for the Kings Coronation 👑 including maths skills to create symmetrical patterns . A big praise to Charlie and Thomas for completing their British Values home learning, it was lovely to see them talk about their creations with Crew.

We have had a lovely week celebrating everything great about Britain 🥳 Finished off today with our Coronation Picnic 🧺
