Crew MW enjoyed their library visit again today! This week’s choice was ‘wiggle and roar’ by Julia Donaldson and Nick Sharratt. We loved listening to the rhymes and joining in with the actions! 📚

Crew MW’s weekly library visit!
Crew MW enjoyed their snack and milk in the library today! We voted to read ‘The Very Busy Spider’ by Eric Carle. We really enjoyed repeating the familiar phrases and looking at the colourful illustrations in this story!
A gingerbread house in the woods?
After reading the next part of Hansel and Gretel we learnt that Hansel and Gretel came across a gingerbread house in the middle of the woods. It had icing on it and lots of sweets. We created our own gingerbread houses in mini crews and had a competition to see who was the best voted by our parents. It was sticky work but we enjoyed eating it.
Leaving our trace in the woods … again
After reading the next part of Hansel and Gretel we learnt that Dad took them to the woods AGAIN! However, this time we dropped bread crumbs in the woods to be able to find our way back out. We saw lots of animals and felt even worse than we did the time before!
The Lady of the lamp 🪔
In today’s experience lesson we read about how Florence Nightingale looked after the poorly soldiers when it got dark. We learnt she was also called the lady of the lamp as she carried a lamp around with her in the evening. In our experience lesson we all created our own lamp to be able to be just like Florence. It was a tricky cutting and sticking task but we all followed the instructions.
Hide and seek experience lesson
The children played a game of hide and seek, whereby the children pretended to be Vlad the flea and hid in the hospital to make sure the adults (Florence Nightingale and the nurses) could not find them and kick them out of the new nice clean hospital. We then acted out looking after the poorly soldiers and gave them the medical care that they needed.
We are readers📚
Celebrating libraries week in MI
Today MI discussed the importance of our school library. We thought about what our library has to offer. We had a game of library detectives where children found a variety of books… a book that makes them smile, a non fiction book, a history book and a book that interests them. Crew MI shared their choices with other members of the crew, explaining their reasons for their selections. They then selected a book they wanted to read or browse. They spent some quiet time just enjoying their book whilst Mrs McClare enjoyed time listening to every child read out loud. What a lovely end to our Monday afternoon.
Y1’s hospital trip 🏥
In today’s experience lesson we visited a hospital – it was really dirty with blood, sick and dirt. It wasn’t very nice or friendly. We decided we would not want to be looked after there.
Crew MW’s Library Visit 📚💕
On Friday, we celebrated Libraries Week by taking a trip to our school library. We each picked out a book and we showed it to the other members of our crew. We then decided which book we wanted to read in the library, chilling on the bean bags and cushions, as well as choosing a book to take back to the classroom with us. We absolutely LOVE going to the library! 📚
