Spring is here!

23rd March 2022Gemma Whitehead

Crew nursery have been looking for signs of spring this week! They have noticed that the weather is much warmer and that the sun is shining. The children have been discussing the animals, plants and insects that they might see in spring. They have planted their own sunflower seeds and they went on an exciting bug hunt! They found snails and ladybirds in Carcroft’s ‘Bugingham Palace’. The children used the play dough to create spring chicks and they used their building skills to design and make safe houses for chicks in the construction area.

Caring Crew in Foundation Stage.

Today the children made bird feeders using their fine motor skills. They thought of appropriate places around the outside area they could place them to feed the local birds.

We spoke about how placing food outside could help the birds during the season of Spring and support them with their young. The unit have been so caring and have really impressed their teacher with their empathy towards the wildlife.

Well done Crew FE!

Comic Relief in Crew FE!

18th March 2022Toni Ferguson

The children have learnt all about comic relief and why we fundraise today. We have enjoyed coming to school in our non uniform and silly hair and here are just a few of our children raising funds for such a worthy cause.

We have spoke about fundraising and how this shows kindness to others who may not be as lucky as we are in their lives.

Well done everyone who took part.
