What a first week we have had in Crew FI. Our guiding question for this week has been ‘How can our crew be strengthened by acts of service to others?’ We began by unpicking what we meant by acts of service and which acts of service we could do around school to help make it a better place. We made posters which we have put up around school. As well as this, we also wrote each other kindness notes and gave them out on Friday to make someone’s day.
In writing this week, we read the book ‘The Lost Thing’ which is about a boy who finds a thing on the beach and helps to find its home. This linked very strongly with how we could answer our guiding question. We wrote a diary from the perspective of the lost thing.
Because this was the first week back, we focussed on expectations and how we can ensure we are following our HOWLs. We really unpicked the work hard HOWL and created our own acrostic poems.
We have done so many crew challenges this week which we have all enjoyed. Our favourite was working together as a team to complete a jigsaw. We also really enjoyed some games of benchball where great sportsmanship was shown.
Focusing on our ‘Courage’ character trait, we all showed great resilience and determination to complete the ‘Tough Runner’ obstacle course. This was great fun!
Our final act of service, which we did as a crew, was becoming reading buddies where we listened to Crew Mcloughlin read. This was really wonderful to see how helpful, kind and respectful the children were towards each other. A great way to end the week. Well done Crew FI! We are looking forward to seeing what other great things you can achieve this year.
