Transition day – Crew Shields

11th July 2023Ruth Shields

Such a lovely day spent as our new crew. We’ve completed some crew challenges while also getting to know each other. Children made name cards as there were lots of new faces for me but I think I’d remembered them all by the end of the day. We’ve played chess, finding someone in the crew who like marvel films for instance, some inference and predictions about a story which lead to us discussing the moral of the story. This afternoon, children had to work together to get into height order and birthday order before finishing off with one partner drawing and the other explaining what they had to draw. ✍️

We discussed the importance of crew and some of the expectations for next year. We’ll be able to get these properly embedded when we return after the summer break.

I’m looking forward to a great year with year 4 and I’ve every faith they will be amazing. Exciting times ahead. 😊🤩

Crew Robson Transition Day

11th July 2023Nicola Robson

We started the day with a crew challenge to see which pair could build the best structure out of marshmallows and tooth picks to support a hard boiled egg!

We then went outside to complete a I spy nature hunt and enjoyed exploring in forest school.

The children voted for which book they would like me to read at snack time then we enjoyed some yoga!

Crew MW’s transition day!

11th July 2023A Welburn

Crew MW have had a fantastic transition day! We started with a crew challenge of keep the balloon up in mini crews. The children were fantastic at this!

After that, we explored our new classroom. We found lots of new things to play with and to share with our friends and teachers!

Next, we had story time. We looked at a story called ‘all kinds of people’ and how we are all different but we all belong. We used our mirrors to paint self portraits thinking about the shapes of our faces, colour of our eyes and our hair. Our teachers are saving these to put up on our proud piece walls over summer so that we can show our grown ups on our first day!

Our final activity was exploring our forest school area! We put our wellies on and collected our scavenger hunt checklists with our partner to go and search for different items in the forest area. We had lots of fun collecting the different items and working with our pairs!

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back at the end of August!

We experienced what it felt like to entertain other people just like Bob did on the moon. We then practised our teaching skills to explain to our partner how to draw the moon.

Final RE lesson in MI

10th July 2023Stacey McClare

Today we started to think about and understand why people stand up against injustice because of their religion. We started the lesson with a role play activity where we set up a bus style scenario. Children had to unpick where people were placed on the bus and possible reasons why. We then changed the places on the bus making some people stand. Again we thought about the reasons why and took ourselves back to our spring expedition. We then watched a re-enactment of the story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott. Once we had unpicked the clip and re-enacted the story in mini crews, we looked at some bible quotes and thought about how they related to the story and the meanings behind them.

We then worked with our partner to generate questions that we would ask the main characters from the clip. We thought about the characters feelings and motivations at the time, particularly why as a Christian, Rosa Parks felt it was important to stand up for her rights. We then took it in turns to be the characters in a hot seating activity.

Finally we worked in mini crews to create an interview with one of the characters but set in modern times, allowing the interviewees to reflect on the results of the Civil Rights Movement. A great final RE lesson in MI today 🙂
