RE in Crew MI

Today we continued our learning around Christianity. We listened to a range music and discussed how and why they use music in worship. We listened for similarities and differences between them. Finally, we thought about what songs were special to us and what emotions they made us feel.

We also enjoyed tasting bread and learning about the Holy Communion.

Teacher Swap 🧑‍🏫📖🔄

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!

Pyjamarama Day 2023! 🌟📚💤

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! 📚
