Pizza and Soup – busy day in Crew Shields

5th July 2022Ruth Shields

This week has seen us testing and developing our culinary skills. To begin we have made some healthy tomato soup and it was great to see everyone trying it especially the children who said they don’t like soup. This really demonstrate a positive attitude to new things. Even better that some children have asked for the recipe so they can try it with their family.

Once we had finished our soup, we made some healthy pizzas. We have even been tried a gluten free pizza base today. This was so we could experience the food that one of our crew members has to eat due to having to follow a gluten free diet. Most of us couldn’t taste the difference which was great.

Best part was obviously tasting it. 😊

Healthy cookies on the menu tomorrow…

Cooking continues in MI…

Well what a busy morning Crew MI have had! We have continued with our Design and Technology case study and today we have made a healthy tomato soup using a variety of ingredients. We all took an active part in peeling, chopping and preparing all the ingredients before we started to cook it. We concentrated well when following the recipe and ensured we all had an active part, voicing our views and helping others become engaged. We then looked at our pizza recipe. We used flour and natural yoghurt to make our base then added our other ingredients. We worked well in partners to make our pizzas. We really did enjoy eating them at the end! We then reflected on our learning, thinking about our guiding question, ’How does a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ We then thought about our previous learning, trying to link everything together. Some great discussions Crew MI 🙂 We are all looking forward to making our deserts tomorrow 🙂

Kicking off sports week in an extraordinary way! Sporting Champions in Year 2 🏃‍♂️

4th July 2022Laura Godley

What an extraordinary day we’ve had today in Crew! We were so lucky to have met James Dasaolu! James is a British sprint track and field athlete who specialises in the 100 metres, over which distance he is the 2014 European champion 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

In July 2013, he became the second fastest Briton of all time after running a 100 m time of 9.91 seconds in the British Championships. In 2014 he won his first major title, claiming the gold medal in the 100 metres at the 2014 European Athletics Championships.

James put us through our paces and spotted some sporting heroes.

Well done done Keira-Leigh and Stevie for raising so much money through their sponsorship.

The whole school had an assembly with James this afternoon, and now each crew will participate in a physical activity with James! Such an inspiration to our young athletes in the making.

Cooking has began in Y5!

Today we thought about how we use and follow a recipe. To start with we made a fruit salad. We made sure we recapped food hygiene and cross contamination and ensured we were really thinking about food cleanliness. We discussed the recipe in mini crews then decided who would be responsible for each part of the process. We really developed our work hard howl by working well in mini crews ensuring we were actively participating and had a positive attitude to everything we did. We really did get smart aswell by supporting others to succeed by working collaboratively. We then moved onto our first starter, chicken traffic light kebabs. Some children were responsible for making the marinade, some cut the chicken and others chopped the peppers. Some children then used the ingredients to make the kebabs. We loved eating them at the end! A fantastic morning Crew MI, Crew Shields and Crew Boswell! We are all looking forward to making our second starter and main tomorrow.

Crew MI and Boswell play rounders

1st July 2022Emily Ibbotson

We had great fun playing rounders yesterday. We started with football rounders to get used to the rules and how to play then we progressed to rounders. First, we used a tennis racket to practise our hitting then some of us challenged ourselves to use the proper rounders bat. This was a fantastic crew activity where we worked together on our HOWLs, particularly our being kind one, where we were supportive and respectful to our peers.

Next week at Carcroft – It’s a busy one!
