What a wonderful week we have had in Crew Wilson 😁
We have learned so much throughout our lessons, here are some highlights!
Writing: This week we have been re-telling the story of the 3 little pigs. Our first plot point was all about describing the straw, and what the first little pig thought he could do with it. The Crew have created some fantastic sentences with a little additional support from the teachers, so next week we are focussing on independent writing and producing beautiful work!

Theme: We had a great time in our Theme lesson making bird feeders to spread kindness to the local animals around Carcroft. We used toilet roll tubes, string, lard and bird seed to make the bird feeders, and whilst using lard was not anyone’s favourite part of the day (teachers included 🤮), the final products were great and the children know they have made a small difference to help their community.
We have also been making trees to add to our box model village. This involved sculpting chicken wire, wrapping with tape and adding pipe-cleaner branches. We will paper mache and paint next week. The Crew collaborated brilliantly as some people found it trickier than others, working together to overcome barriers and telling each other helpful tips, great team work guys!

Mental Health Day: Today we wore yellow in support of Mental Health Day and undertook some mindful activities that helped the children relate to mental wellness. We discussed what makes us happy when we are sad, had a Sonic themed Yoga Session (Much to Finn’s delight!) and created a handprint rainbow that will be displayed along side the other crews in school.

Howl Average:
We ended the week on a 3.6, 0.2 points higher than last week, so we are on an upward trajectory! The Crew have worked fantastically all week, they definitely deserve to give their brains a rest over the weekend, ready to come back and smash it all again next week.
Well done Crew Wilson, you make me so proud every day!
