Crafty Crew!
Crew Ramsay have been working in groups with our new student teacher, Miss Bagworth to create poppy art for Remembrance Day. We had 2 minutes of silence to honour the fallen and we celebrated by making paper tissue poppies. Here we are getting crafty and talking about our ‘Be Kind’ HOWL for this significant event.
We Are Authors!
Crew Ramsay headed down to crew Barber to narrate our very own character-driven narratives to a real audience! We took so much pride in our work and loved performing as storytellers. Here we are in action…

Life Skills
In Crew Haddock today the children made flapjack. They were so kind in taking turns and then they shared it with staff around school. This is their favourite thing to do.
Remembrance Day.
This week Crew frost have been focusing on Remembrance day on our expedition. The children learnt what a solider is, what their job is, and we were Poppy’s to remember them by. The children loved learning about Miss Frost’s parent who were in the army and looking at all my old photos They couldn’t wait to show their respect by making a poppy and putting their fine motor and creative skills to the test, Well done Crew Frost we are so proud of the respect you showed.
Marks in our environment.
Crew Frost have loved being outside this week so much that we decided to make it bright and colorful with our mark making skills. The children have loved making lines, circles, and various shapes such as circles and hearts! We have shown great control keeping within the brick lines and using our imagination to create figures like our grown ups or our pets we care about.
Scissor skills
This week in crew Frost the children have been learning how to use scissors. The children first discussed how to use the scissors safety and what items we cut. We then practiced how we hold the scissors for moving around the classroom and when we are ready to cut. We then challenged the children to follow the patterned lines on the sheets. The children astonished us how they were able to maneuver their way around the task following the patterned sheets. We can’t wait to keep practicing this fine motor task.
