Crew Thompson love a library visit! We get so excited browsing through the different books on offer and finding one that we want to take home to read. We noticed some beautiful bookmarks made by Crew McLoughlin and just had to take one for our own books. Thank you, Crew McLoughlin! 😀💕
Today the children have been practicing for the relay race which will be something they’ll need to do on sports day.
Well done to Kaleb and Ava who were the stars of the lesson 🤩
KS1 children and their grown ups had a lovely start to the day this morning! It was a pleasure to see so many grown ups enjoying time with their children. Thank you to all of those grown ups that attended! 👍
We loved having new stuff out at break time today!
This afternoon, we planted our own pea seed! We followed the instructions carefully and filled out our plant planner. We canāt wait to watch our pea grow and fill in our planner! 🌱
Today, as part of ‘Pyjamarama Day’ some of our teachers got to do a swap and read to another crew! Staff and children loved this so much when we did this last half term that we all wanted to do it again, and again it was a success! The teachers loved going to another crew and sharing their favourite book/s and the children loved welcoming another teacher into their crew and getting to experience listening to a new book! Some children also got to experience children from another doing a swap and coming into their crews to share a story, this was lovely to see the older children in school sharing a story children with some of our youngest!
WOW! Where do I start?! Crew FE have had an AMAZING Pyjamarama Day! The day started with us all designing a new front cover for our favourite book 📕 as our morning task! We all enjoyed doing this and created some fantastic designs! 🖍 We then completed a whole school ‘teacher swap’, where Mrs Elmer went and read to Crew McGlone and Miss Marsh came and read to us! 📖 We loved listening to a different story by a different teacher!
We then completed a ‘Kahoot’ quiz all about features of fiction and non-fiction texts, different authors, characters, titles and some of our teachers favourite books! Our winner was Hollie!
Our favourite part of the day was after break, where we participated in ‘Starbooks’! ☕🥤🧋🧃🥛📖 We all got to select a drink of our choice as we entered the classroom and collected a review sheet 📝 We then sat at a table of our choice and simply picked up a book, chilled, read the book and drank our drink! We got to move around to different tables as we wished, and at the end of the end of the session we all shared which book was our favourite and why! 📚💕
After lunch we listened to a story called ‘The Monster Surprise’ (which we had to guess after we had read it!), whilst we were reading we stopped at certain points to participate in different activities such as making predictions as well as some drama activities such as ‘conscious alley’ and ‘hot seating’. We would have liked to have made some ‘freeze frames’ to show the story in action but unfortunately we ran out of time!
We ended the day by inviting our male family members 👬 into school to share a book 📚 with us to celebrate ‘Fathers Day’ on Sunday! They also got to join us whilst we had a cheeky ice pop after a very hot day! ☀
Overall it has been a fabulous day in Crew FE! We have loved coming to school in our comfy clothes or pyjamas and exploring books a little bit more! 📚
What a great, fun filled Friday we have had in Crew Thompson today celebrating pyjamarama day! 🤩
After break, we visited Starbooks! ☕🧋 We got to choose a drink off the menu and sit down to read a book! It was lovely to see the children enjoying the book and read for pleasure. They even got to review the book and say whether they would recommend it or not!
Before lunch, we completed a kahoot quiz which is something our crew really enjoy doing. We had one that tested our knowledge on a range of books we have read and spoken about!
After lunch, we read a story called “A Monster’s Surprise”. We choose some characters to put in the hot seat and ask a few questions! We also did some freeze frames to show the different parts of the story.
After all our hard work, we went outside to read our class shared read with an ice lolly! 🍦 We loved sitting in the shade and listening to Miss Lee read Charlie and the Chocolate factory … we are just getting to the good bit! 📖
As part of ‘National Healthy Eating Week’ and to celebrate the countdown to Paris 2024, Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB are challenging young people aged 5ā14 to get creative and design a lorry that inspires people to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. Therefore, in crew this morning we all designed our own lorries! We thought about writing, colours and suitable images to capture peoples’ attention. At the end of the session we critiqued each others and offered notices, wonders and praises! Mrs Pashley has also been tasked with choosing a winner 🌟 from each crew in LKS2! All shall be revealed in crew tomorrow…
Today we have critiqued Peter Thorpeās artwork.
