The Lady with the Lamp
Making Florence Nightingale’s Lamps
For our experience lesson today we were thinking about Florence Nightingale and how she was nicknamed ‘The Lady of the Lamp’ by the soldiers in Scutari Hospital. To start with we all made our very own lantern.
We then pretended to be Florence and walked around talking to all the injured soldiers during the night.
Challenge Crew🛫
Yesterday was a successful crew session, it was the first challenge crew where every child applied what they have learnt in other crew sessions around team work, such as respectfully disagreeing, valuing everyone’s opinion, compromising and communicating. They blew me and Mrs Rhodes away! Keep it up Crew!
Hide and seek experience lesson
The children played a game of hide and seek, whereby the children pretended to be Vlad the flea and hid in the hospital to make sure the adults (Florence Nightingale and the nurses) could not find them and kick them out of the new nice clean hospital. We then acted out looking after the poorly soldiers and gave them the medical care that they needed.
Poppy Appeal
This week and next, we will be raising funds for The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. We have child friendly poppies (no pins) for sale in school. If you wish your child to have one of these poppies, please send them into school with a donation (minimum 10p).
The poppies will be taken to each crew during crew time, where your child will be able to place their donation into the poppy appeal box and receive a child friendly poppy. As remembrance day is soon approaching, I am sure your child’s crew leader will be discussing remembrance day and the significance of poppies in crew sessions.
Lego therapy 👷
This morning in Crew Haddock, We used our Listening and communication skills to followed and give Lego instructions to build Lego models.
Searching for Vlad!
Today we played hide and seek with Vlad! To begin with the children estimated how big Vlad was and were shocked at just how small a flea actually was. They then spent time searching for Vlad and after a few clues Henry found him hiding under a table!
History Hackers
Today we have started a new book in reading called History Hackers Roman Rescue. First, we completed a jigsaw of the front cover and unpicked the title and author of the book. We then discussed the front cover and made some predictions about what the book could be about. We started to read chapter one whilst text marking the important information.
Don’t forget our to come along to our Witches and Wizards spooktacular disco on Thursday 🎃👻
Vlad the flee, scurries for his life!
