Challenge Crew

8th May 2024Sophie Elmer

This morning for Challenge Crew we worked in small groups to complete ‘The Group Hop’ challenge. This required us to use our coordination and communication skills. We worked in small groups and began by standing in a straight line, we then placed our right hand on the shoulder of the person in front of us and gave them our left leg/ankle to hold. We then had to see how far we could hop along together without toppling over! We then challenged ourselves to see who could hop the farthest! It was great fun but we definitely encountered a few hurdles! During our debrief we realised that communication was vital and that we had to work as a team to be successful.

What can we find in the ocean?

Today, we introduced our Case Study 2 text – Commotion in the Ocean! We made our predictions and talked about what we could see on the front cover, before reading the story and learning all about the different animals that live in the ocean. Once we had read the story, we thought about some of the different creatures and animals we had seen and wether we would find them at the seaside in England, or if they live in the oceans around the world.

Exploring rock pools and the ocean

8th May 2024A Welburn

This week in Crew MW, we have hooked in to Case Study 2 – How can we help to save the ocean? We started off by looking at our tuff tray that had been split in half. We looked carefully at the tray and decided that half must be ocean and half was a rock pool! Once we had worked this out, we looked at some books about the ocean and rock pools, and talked about which creatures and animals lived in each habitat. We loved talking about which animal we had and where we thought they would live.

Jellyfish Art

This week, Nursery have been making jellyfish art using paper bowls, paint and strips of different materials. They painted the paper bowls using paint and when they were dry they stuck on lots of different shiny decorations and strips of materials to dangle to make the jellyfish legs.

Nursery had lots of fun getting messy with the different coloured paint and creating their jellyfish art work.

Mental health discussions continue in MI

8th May 2024Stacey McClare

In crew this morning we reflected on our expert visit yesterday and created an anchor chart all about mental health. We then watched some clips to further develop our knowledge. The main thing we took away from these videos is that talking is so important. We discussed some of the different things that can be done to help someone with a mental health issue and how everyone is different. Some great discussions MI 🙂
