Crew Schofield prepare for VE Day

7th May 2025Mr Schofield

Today in crew, we learnt about the significant event of Victory in Europe day – the events leading to and the subsequent celebrations of the end of World War Two. We then consolidated our knowledge by creating posters to decorate the classroom ahead of the 80th anniversary celebrations tomorrow.

I look forward to your designs forming part of our party decorations tomorrow, well done!

Activism in Year 5

1st May 2025Mr Schofield

A massive well done to year 5 who joined the council and police neighbourhood teams yesterday to complete a very thorough litter pick in our local neighbourhood. It was wonderful to see you all working so hard to make Intake a better place!

We care Wednesday Crew

20th April 2025Mrs Haycock

In Crew this week, Years 3 and 4 have been thinking about the health of their bodies as well as their mental health too. They have discovered that exercise is not only good for bodies, but that it also activates and cleanses minds; making people feel happier from the serotonin and endorphins that are released during the time that they exercise! Aerobic exercises like running, cycling and swimming are particularly effective. Exercise boosts the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which supports the production and release of serotonin as well as overall brain health! Because of this, Crew Haycock and 3H have pledged to carry out some physical exercise (in addition to their PE lessons in school) for ten minutes a day.

Go Crew Haycock – youā€™ve got this and so have I. I pledge to do this additional exercise with you!

We are crew!

20th April 2025Mrs Haycock

Years 3 and 4 worked really hard in their crews last week to build their background knowledge of a variety of different survival techniques. When working with Mrs Haycock, they had two different challenges to complete. Firstly, they had to use the pipes to transport as much water as they could, as far as they could and without any leaks; and secondly, they were asked to consider what happens when there is a huge influx of water all at once!

I think it is clear to say that we had great fun despite getting a little wet, (perhaps soaked would be a better term). However, more importantly, we learnt that if there is a hole in the pipe work, the water will find it and leak through it. We also learnt that when there is a huge influx of water all at once, our river systems and drains simply cannot cope with the deluge and flooding takes place!

Well done everyone! Special shout out to Crew Vines who transported the water the furthest with out a single drip leaking out of the tubes!
