This morning in Crew we had come positive post it time. Children were given a name of another child in their crew and they had to praise them for something they’d done this week. This ensured that all crew members were praised and recognised for the things they properly do without even thinking. It was so lovely to hear the things they had said about each other such as, being mature, being resilient, always trying their best, being funny, helping each other when they are stuck or even during football. There were definitely lots of smiles during our Crew session this morning.

Music – Crew Marsh 15.9.22
Today in music we have continued to look at making beats with our percussion instruments. We started off by working with a partner to create patterns and then repeat them back to one another. We then started to learn our new song ’I Wanna Be In A Band’.
Crew Bear in Nursery.
Today the children in crew nursery have made their own crew bear. We lovingly stuffed him and made sure we placed a loving heart inside. Each crew member will get the opportunity to take the bear home and have wonderful adventures. We cant wait to read all about what he gets up to.

An active start in MI
This morning in crew, we started to think about the Queens life. Different facts about the Queen were scattered outside of the classroom. Children worked in mini crews, one being the researcher (they had to nip outside, read the information and bring a fact back.) They shared this will another crew member who added this to their sugar paper. This process continued with everyone taking a role in the task. In our debrief, we shared the facts we had gathered about the Queens life and discussed the importance of doing this.
Setting descriptions in MI
Today MI created their own setting description linking to the work we have been doing in expedition. We imagined that we were one of the first people to land on the moon and used the feelings lens for support. We applied our learning from our experience day and grammar day and used our anchor charts to support our ideas. We really thought about our get smart howl by reflecting on our achievements and challenging ourselves to improve after critique. We also used our target grids well for support.
Arithmetic – Addition
This afternoon, Crew Shields have been working hard on their addition and remembering to exchange when needed.
Really impressed with Lacey P who has shown great resilience when working out tricky problems.
