Crew Ferguson Autumn scavenger hunt!
The children in nursery today were set a challenge to collect and see lots of objects linking to Autumn. We worked as a crew to collect leaves, twigs, conkers and feathers. We saw puddles, wriggly worms and even spiders webs! We had to be be kind to the animals and our woodland environment. The children loved exploring and wanted to bring everything they could see back inside to explore further.
Den building in the rain🏕
This week in Scottys Heroes, in our mini crews, we built shelters in the forest. We developed invaluable team working skills and thoroughly enjoyed embracing the outdoors!
LKS2 Autumn Day! 🍁🍂
LKS2 have loved their scavenger hunt in nature and creating a wide variety of art, after completing several challenges!
Crew challenge 🔌⚡️
Today Crew Marsh was challenged to try to get over or under the electric fence! It was tricky but we worked as a crew to make sure everybody got past the fence safely. ⚡️⚡️
Year 3-6 football tournament! ⚽️
What a great afternoon, Years 3 to 6 have had at Campsmount for the football tournament. The boys gave their all in pretty poor weather and we didn’t let the wet weather dampen our spirits! Even though they did not get the results they wanted, the boys were fantastic. Their effort and humility was fantastic to see. After each game, they shook hands with their competitors and did not complain. You guys did myself and Mrs Rhodes proud. More importantly, you represented the school brilliantly. Keep going and you will continue to improve and get even better!
There were so many of our boys playing football for the first time today and they gave it their all. Seeing their enjoyment and happy smiles at the end was completely worth it. The fact that they enjoyed playing this wonderful game is amazing to see!
It was incredibly tricky to choose a player of the tournament for both the 3/4 and 5/6 teams. These were, Tommy M (Year 5) and Charlie S (Year 3). Both boys were impressive in the net and pulled off some fantastic saves. Our most improved players were Kaylum (Year 5) and Thomas O (Year 4). It was incredibly difficult to pick because of the fantastic displays throughout.
Check through our photos for the team spirit:
Keep an eye out for more tournament/competition updates and celebrations! 😆⚽️
Citizenship crew in MI
Today we thought about the word ’ambition.’ We created an anchor chart with our initial ideas then we watched a clip. We noted down words that came to our minds whilst watching the clip then voiced these to the whole crew. We then took part in a sorting activity where we looked at different vocabulary linking to ambition. In our debrief we discussed our own ambition with our partner then shared these as a whole crew.
Exploring the outdoors in Early Years
As we move into Autumn and Winter, we are really loving exploring the outdoors in our EYFS crews! We’d love it even more if we were allowed to jump in the puddles, make mud pies and explore the water area…but to do this, we need the right clothes! Please can you send us with our wellies and waterproofs so that we can explore our outdoor environments while also keeping our uniforms clean – your washing machines will thank you for it!
Knowledge dump in MI
Today we thought about all the learning we had completed in case study one. We created a knowledge dump to help us to write our case study reflection. It was great to see how much we had remembered 🙂 Great work MI 🙂
Edit and redraft in MI
Yesterday, in our expeditionary learning, we took part in a critique session where we unpicked a crew members plot point. We offered praise, notices and wonders linking to our gold and green standards then used feedback to edit and redraft the piece. Today we worked on our our plot point where we tried to make it better. We thought about which of our gold standards needed more work and added this to our work when redrafting. We also really thought about green standard, trying to include this in our writing.
