It has been such a pleasure having the children back in school today and making a fantastic start to what I’m sure will be a great year!
We started the morning with some crew building activities which are vital to a smooth running classroom. The children had to work on their communication skills so that they could firstly order themselves from tallest to shortest and then from oldest to youngest. For some they had to get down to the nitty gritty as we have 2 students born on the same day but fortunately they knew one was 10 hours older. Phew! Snowballs was our next crew building activities where children had to write a Would you rather or what would you do if question. Some great questions
E.g – Would you rather go to a football game or school? What would you do if you found £10 outside? Would you rather have a mansion or 1 million pounds?
Unfortunately, we didn’t have time for them all today but we will work through the rest during this week.
It was important to get the brain ticking again so we played some maths games that required us to think about place value. It was lovely seeing the children support each other if they found something a little tricky.
Overall, we’ve had a great first day back and I’m looking forward to our trip tomorrow.
