It is absolutely fantastic to have most of the children back in school, it is like they have never been away 🥰 I loved hearing about their Christmas break, they really do bring so much joy in difficult times.

We began our day talking about the weather and they amazed me how well they can now describe different types of weather. We came up with some excellent words such as slippery, frosty, icy, freezing 🥶❄️ I wonder what words we can come up with tomorrow….

We have began our topic based on the question ‘Can we go to infinity and beyond?’ 💫🪐🌎☄️ We discussed what we already know about space and we discussed if the moon is made of cheese 🧀 😂  We had a special visitor from an Alien while we was eating our lunch!  We think he may be lost and looking for some friends so we are going to think about how we can help him.

Wow, what an exciting day we’ve had! We began by developing our fine motor skills to create our own planets and aliens 👽 👾 We had some fantastic discussions around what our creations looked liked, sounded like, how they moved or span if they were a planet! Lots of exciting and adventurous vocabulary was used.

This afternoon we had a alien encounter 👽👽 all of a sudden it went dark and the next thing we knew there was an orange alien running through the dinning hall! We think he may be lost so we need to draw him a map to help him find his way back home 🌍 He spoke a very strange language and the children were so excited to see him again roaming the corridors 🤣

Another lovely day in Crew!

We have done some really great learning today. We started off with a character description of a fire dragon! The children wrote some fantastic sentences using adjectives. In maths we were introduced to the column method for addition, we had lots of success, I can’t wait to see what we can achieve tomorrow. In expedition we talked some more about kings, lords, knights and peasants! We are really enjoying this learning!
