Today we invited the children who will be starting school in September to enjoy a soft play session. We listened to our favourite nursery rhymes while climbing, reaching, building and balancing on the equipment. We made new friends and loved talking about our favourite toys during milk and fruit.
Today during DT, we made our own tomato soup… from scratch! We followed the recipe and worked as mini crews to prepare the food before we began cooking. We were really patient with each other showing great HOWLs all morning.
As part of our learning, we have explored the labels on food packaging. We have learned about the traffic light colouring which helps us make healthier options when buying food. We had a go at ranking the foods from most healthy to least healthy. Some children were shocked by some foods they though were okay but they are actually really high in sugar.
Massive shoutout to Millie, who has brought us in loads of food packaging (pretty much a weeks worth of packaging) and to the other children who contributed some food packets. I love how Crew Shields are always willing and eager to bring in resources from home to support the learning in class while also taking the pressure off myself to find everything. This is most definitely what crew is all about! 💖
Over this week we have cooked a starter, main and some healthy dessert options. Today, we have enjoyed some pancakes as we discussed that everything should be eaten in moderation so we’ve had pancakes with maple syrup and raspberries.
As with everything else we’ve baked this week, we’ve had a gluten free pancakes today. We actually preferred the gluten free option. It has really surprised us that in most cases we have enjoyed the gluten free version.
We have received a new device in Crew Welburn which we are absolutely loving! It is called a yoto and we use it to listen to our favourite stories and songs. So far, we have listened to ‘Funnybones’, ‘The Highway Rat’ and ‘Animal Stories’. We have listened carefully and acted out parts of the stories with funny actions. We can’t wait to explore all of the other stories we have!
Blue team had a fantastic sports day this afternoon! I was so impressed with the listening, respect and kindness that each and every member showed! The icing on the cake has to be their big smiles when they found out they had won! Amazing work everyone 🙌🏻

Crew Godley have been working extremely hard to improve their attendance and the number of lates we have in our crew. One of the ways we have done this is through our attendance HoWLopoly. If we’re at school 💯 we’re able to work hard and get smart 🙌🏼 Last week we achieved all of our goals and spun a PJ day on our HoWLopoly. I’m sure the children will have told you this, this is a gentle reminder that it is taking place tomorrow.
Today we made 2 deserts, a healthy take on a muffin and a cookie. Once we had followed our recipe and made both deserts, we looked at which ingredients were included in each recipe and thought about which one was the healthiest. We also thought back to the food groups we had previously discussed. We really did enjoy eating these today! Tomorrow we will make our healthy pancakes which will be the final part of our cooking week.
