Pyjamarama Day 2023! 🌟📚💤

16th June 2023Sophie Elmer

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! 📚

Pyjamarama Day – Crew Thompson💤

16th June 2023Kate Thompson

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! 📖

Future artist…

8th June 2023Ruth Shields

This morning in crew we had the pleasure of viewing the art work of Kaylum and we have decided that children will have more opportunities to share their interests with us.

Kaylum is a budding artist and often brings in stuff for our tabletop display. He has brought in his sketchbook from home today and we are truly blown away. I’m sure you will as well.

We have set Kaylum a challenge – Can he create us a sign for our door that says Crew Shields surrounded by images that reminds him of people in the crew. Watch this space…
