During Scotty’s heroes today, the children were challenged to complete an assault course while blindfolded. They had to work in pairs so they could guide each other through safely. This required clear and precise instructions not only to get through the course but to keep each other safe. Some great instructions and collaboration. Well done Crew Shields.

Remembrance Crew in MI
Today we thought about and discussed remembrance day. We watched different clips to help us understand what remembrance day is and to generate further discussions. We then worked collaboratively to make a variety of poppy wreaths.
KS2 Girls Football
On behalf of Coach Luke (Active Fusion) we would like to invite any girls in KS2 (Year 3, 4, 5 and 6) to attend a football try-out on Wednesday evenings after school (3:00-4:00) in preparation for some upcoming tournaments. Please sign up via ParentPay to secure your place!
We’re looking for Teachers at Norton Juniors and Carcroft!
Bear sandwiches in Crew Nursery!
The children have made their own bear sandwiches today using bananas and chocolate spread. They first had to spread the chocolate using the knife and then cut the banana into three pieces to create a bears face. We counted 2 pieces of banana for the bears eyes and 1 piece of banana for the bears nose. The children then enjoyed their creations. They were very tasty!
Focussed writing in MI
Today we continued to plan and write our non chronological report. Today we finished off our gravity section and started to think about the facts we wanted in our fact boxes. We are looking forward to adding the work we have produced to our A3 spread.
Leading our own learning in provision
We’ve had lots of fun leading our own learning in provision today! We’ve explored using the paints to create bear pictures, built castles in the small world area, and explored the shaving foam in the tuff tray! We used our describing words to talk about how the foam felt and what it reminded us of. Penelope and Aubree decided that when you squeezed it between your fingers, it felt like the oozy mud from the story ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. We then decided to use the shaving foam to make patterns to show each other the types of fireworks we had seen over the weekend. It was very exciting!
Super mathematicians in Y1
Today we discovered if we work hard then it makes us feel so proud of ourselves. Today in maths I was so proud of our little crew 😊 We introduced addition and how we can use the part, whole, model to support this. obviously, working with smarties helped a lot 😋 The children blew me away with their language around addition, we’d remembered so much already after exploring this briefly last half term.
Celebration of Learning KS1
Let’s Build!!
The children celebrated their learning with their parents, explaining to their grownups ‘What lies within the castle walls’.
During the celebration of learning we set our grown ups a challenge! To create a catapult which fired the furthest, it was so much fun working together! Alissia and her Dad built an amazing catapult which used some incredible power to launch her boulder all the way across the playground!
Litter Picking – Crew Shields
Tomorrow afternoon, the children will be spending a short time outside to support the school community to keep the area safe and tidy.
It has been rather wet recently so it may be beneficial for them to bring a spare pair of shoes/trainers where it doesn’t matter if they get a bit muddy.
Thank you
