In grammar, we continued to explore irregular verbs and how these change in the past tense. These are words that children will need to learn so we verbally practiced using my turn your turn.

Testimony of Evacuees
In our history lesson, we explored further the experiences of children during wartimes and what life was like as an evacuee. This required us to use our reading skills so we could skim and scan the text before making inferences. Once we had read and understood the text we completed some details about each person. We discovered that some children had positive experiences during wartimes but unfortunately there were children who had quite negative experiences as an evacuee.
Crew Challenge
During Crew challenge, children were tasked with making the longest paper chain in 3 minutes. Children were split into small groups to complete the challenge. Some groups broke off into pairs and started building a chain which they joined together before the time ran out. Other groups delegated roles to each other. By delegating jobs or splitting off into smaller groups it allowed them to be successful.
End of Half Term Treat
Crew Hamill LOVED our bouncy castle treat at the end of this half term! We also managed to convince Miss Hamill to finally make us all a cup of tea! Miss Hamill made a deal with Jenson that if his howls improved as the half term went on, she would make him a cup of tea as he’d been asking for one all half term. We supported Jenson in this so Miss Hamill made one for everyone! Well done, Jenson 🙂 and to the rest of Crew Hamill for your support!
Scotty’s Hero
Crew Hamill loved ending the half term with a Scotty’s Hero session.
Identifying the subject
During the last week of half term, Crew Hamill have worked hard to identify the subject of a sentence. The subject is who or what is doing the action within the sentence. To help us do this, we followed a script in which we identified the first verb (action word) and then asked ourselves who or what did that action. To consolidate this learning, we were given jumbled up sentences. Our first job was to structure our sentences. We knew they began with a capital letter and ended with a full stop so these were the first cards we placed. Then we organised the rest of the words until we had a fully independent clause that made sense. Once we’d done this, we identified the verb and subject.
Halloween fun.
This week in crew we focused our attention on the upcoming celebration of Halloween! We start our day off with a sensory story. This week the children took part in listening and interacting with our sensory story, The Incy Wincy Spider, as well as participating in lots of messy Halloween crafts.

Cutting and Cleaning
In Crew we like to learn life skills and brush up our fine motor skills. The children are getting used to sharing and taking in turns, which is fantastic!
