The children worked hard as a crew to get the hula hoop around the circle without letting go of each other’s hands. They had to bend down low to allow their heads to pass through the hoop and then stand up tall to step through the hoop with their feet. It was very tricky, but by talking to each other we did it!
Miss Ferguson was so proud of all of us for trying so hard to work together. Well done Crew Nursery.
In Crew Welburn we used our fork painting skills to create pictures of poppies for Remembrance Day. We started by using our forks to print an outline of a poppy flower before using the same printing skills to fill in the middle to create the red petals. After that, we used a round pot to draw around to create a black circle that we then cut it out using scissors. To finish, we glued the black circle in the middle of our flower to create the centre of the poppy. The finished products look absolutely beautiful, I am sure you will agree!

LKS2 performed their songs remembering those who lost their lives during past Wars remarkably well! It was such a special occasion as Years 3 and 4 performed at a remembrance service along with Years 1 to 6. The children spoke impressively well and sang beautifully, as the audience watched on respectfully. As part of the service, each Crew laid a poppy wreath at the front of the hall, after creating these wonderful tributes as part of Crew sessions and with each looking unique. Then, as the clocks hit 11, there was an impeccable minutes silence held by all.
This was held alongside our Expedition, as LKS2 researches ‘how war changes lives’. Some children even sang along to the songs that were performed, which was lovely to see.
Check out the video below of the beautiful singing taking place!
Thank you to Miss McGlone for helping prepare the children for the Service, as well as Mrs Wight and Miss Lee for helping the children learn their speaking roles!
We shall remember, on this Remembrance Weekend!

This week Crew Mcloughlin had their second guitar lesson and loved every minute! Our highlight was clapping along to our music instructor playing and singing ‘Sweet Caroline’. Maybe it will be one of us playing a tune on the guitar soon😬
In todays PE session, we developed our throwing skills in dodgeball and our sportsmanship shone through. ✨ Many children stood out for being ready for upcoming dodgeball tournaments in the future. Well done Crew Mcloughlin and Crew MI! I throughly enjoyed teaching todays PE lesson!
