Yesterday, Crew Hamill had their memory skills put to the test when they took part in a group game at Scotty’s. In mini crews, we had to remember a message and pass it on to our crew mates without forgetting any of the words. The last person in our crew had to relay the message back to the Scotty’s leader and we got a point for every word we remembered! This was tricky enough, but we also had to take part in an obstacle course that was designed to distract us and make us forget.
We certainly got our steps in this morning as we went to learn more about recycling and how we can get rid of our waste in a way that helps the environment. This also keeps our community clean and tidy. We’ve learned lots of interesting information and even got to have a sit in a JCB.
Crew Haddock had a fantastic time in Scotty’s today and Declan was the hero of the week for the memory game. Well done Crew. Super proud of you all.
Today in Crew MW, we had a walk round to forest school to take part in some outdoor learning. We took some clay out with us and used rolling pins to roll it out flat. We then collected an interesting object like a leaf or a branch and rolled this into the clay to make a print. We were really excited with how our prints came out and we can’t wait to paint them and have a look at them all once they’ve dried!
In Crew Haddock, the children worked together to find the 7 clues to work out our guiding question for expedition-‘How can we protect our wonderful world?’. They used the 4 points of a compass to work out which direction they had to go in 🧭

Lots of energy was used in out Scotty’s session this week. Children played some games to warm up and the. They had to run circuits by picking up the pace each time.
This afternoon, Crew Shields set off with their litter pickers to start cleaning up our environment. We collected lots of rubbish which will be put to use in our next expedition task. What this space…
This morning, Crew MW took a little walk around the outdoor area of our school. We discovered that the frost had come! We explored the crunchy, frosty grass and then glittery frost on the tyres! We also found out that frost and ice makes everything a little bit slippery and we practised our skating on the tarmac under the climbing frame! When we walked around to the forest area, we also found that the water in the water tray had frozen 🥶 We talked about what will happen as the sunshine comes out and warms up the temperature, and we decided that the ice would probably start to melt.
We made sure to wrap up warm for playtime today, we put our hats, gloves and coats on.
Despite the bitter cold weather, Crew Shields had a great time in Scotty’s. They played lots of games to keep them warm which was evident when the coats started coming off.
It was lovely hearing the great communication but also them holding each other to account so they were playing fair.
