Wednesday – we are going out to forest school. Please send the children in old clothes as we are going to be toasting marshmallows, so they may get a little smoky, and appropriate footwear such as wellies or trainers that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy.
Friday – as well as non uniform day, we are going to have one final treat for the children… A water fight! Please send the children in clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, with a towel and a change of clothes for after the water fight.
It’s been a bit of a strange week in Crew Wilson as we have had to isolate! But we haven’t let that stop us, we’ve worked really hard from home on all of our learning! We’ve been meeting online every day to check in with each other and it’s been great to see everyone’s smiling faces every morning. We’ve had a few technical difficulties along the way but Crew Wilson have been very resilient, even if it did take us a few days to learn how to mute our microphones! You’ve all worked so hard this week and should be massively proud of the independent work you’ve created! We’ve done lots of Praise/Notice/Wonders with our work this week, it’s been lovely to hear how much praise our crew have for each other, they’ve bonded so well this year and have so many kind things to say!
Expedition:
We explored the story ‘Mr Wuffles’, it was a bit weird because it only had pictures and no words! We had to work out the story just using the images and really enjoyed discussing the aliens we could see. We designed our own alien and their home planet and wrote some descriptive sentences to ‘sell’ our planet as a holiday destination. I was blown away with the work created at home, everyone worked so hard! Some of us even created our own alien language!
Writing:
We have also been writing personal reflections this week, thinking carefully about our achievements from the year and deciding what we need to work on for Year Two. It was great to hear how honest the crew were, and even though some were feeling nervous about moving into a new class, by the end of the lesson we were feeling much more confident and ready to overcome their new challenges in Year Two!
I can’t wait to be back in the classroom ready for our final week of the term! It wasn’t too bad working online and we quickly got used to it, but it’s not the same as being in the classroom together! We’ve missed out on some fun things in school while we’ve been isolating so to make up for it we’ve got lots of exciting things planned and a few tricks up our sleeve!
It’s been a lovely end of the week in Crew Fox… one week left until our Year 6’s leave for their next chapter at secondary school.
Most of the children have visited their new schools during transition day – and they’ve come back buzzing and so excited to start (which makes me a little sad). Miss Theide has supported Y6 whilst I had my crew for September, they have began designing and creating their own board games that they can take home and play with you all.
Children have began to make their final edits for Final Word, ready for next week. I’m so excited for you all to hear their reflections, I’m so proud of how far they have come.
To finish the week off, we had extra time Fun day! Crew Fox loved this and it was great to see them all loving life!
⚽⚽🤞IT’S COMING HOME 👌⚽⚽
Have a great weekend! Don’t forget children can arrive at 10am on Monday if they’ve had a late night watching the game.
Thursday – Water Fight – Crew Gerrard, Mcloughlin and Fox (please can children come in there uniform and bring a change of clothes for the water fight.
What a wonderful day! It was such a treat for everyone.
First, we started with some traditional fairground games. We played Bruce’s play your cards right, ran the pizza race, competed in a tug of war and had a go at the parachute games. The tug of war was my particular favourite, especially hearing the grunts of determination.
Football is coming home! To help the country prepare, we worked on our penalty taking skills and dribbling. We surely have some stars for the future.
However, the afternoon was the real event. We ran the gauntlet on the inflatable assault course and bounced like astronauts on the bouncy castle. all finished off with a visit to the ice cream van!
What an amazing day we’ve had at our fun day. It’s been an action packed day filled with fun, laughter and enjoyment.
The children had a go at Tug of war which allowed them to demonstrate their strength. I did try to take them all in but I didn’t stand a chance against 17. Thankfully a few children offered to help me win. #crew
we finished the day on the bouncy castle and assault course inflatable. They really enjoyed this and I won’t be surprised if they are exhausted tonight. I know I am.
The Year 3 crew would like to invite you to our end of year class surprise. We would like to invite the children to a secret movie night on Wednesday 14th (3-5pm).
We will be enjoying hot chocolate, sweets and popcorn while we enjoy a fun film. The children are welcome to bring pyjamas and a pillow if they choose to. We would really like to keep this a surprise as a long as possible.
This would be a Year 3 event only.
Please reply via dojo if your child will be allowed to join us for the movie night.
