XP Outdoors – Welcoming Spring 🌼🐞🪲

3rd April 2023Sarah Mcglone

We have welcomed Spring by creating playdough creatures to add to our whole school display in our Forest School.

To begin, we use our rolling skills to create the bodies of our creatures before then pushing and pressing extra details to finalise our creatures. We are so pleased with how they turned out!

Later in the week we got the opportunity to go and see our creations on display in the forest. We really enjoyed seeing our insects as part of the display and we liked looking at what the rest of school had contributed too.

Easter Fun time

It was lovely for the children to take part in some Easter fun before we welcome the half term holiday. The crew have worked so hard this term so they deserved some down time as a treat. Mrs Rhodes and I even tried some face painting.

Wishing Crew Shields a very happy and safe Easter holiday.

Welcoming Spring

Yesterday, Crew Shields enjoyed a walk through our forest school where we could observe the beautiful items made by all the other Crews. It certainly put a smile on our faces as we think about the delights of Spring.

If it’s good enough for the kids…

Staff do crew too! At XP, we always say, if it’s good enough for the kids, it’s good enough for us.

Therefore, just like our pupils, throughout each half term, staff also take part in staff crew events. Today they had to work with someone they don’t often work with to complete the ‘chocolate crew challenge’.

They even got to eat chocolate for breakfast and it’s not even Easter Sunday.
