In We Care Crew, we began our learning about families. To kick this off, we played a relay game where each team had to run and find a picture of a family until all our team members had found one. We stuck all the pictures onto a big poster and talked about how all families look a bit different. We discussed how this was okay and that there will be some families with two Mummies, Two Daddies, A Mummy and/or a Daddy, Step-parents, Grandparents, Aunties and Uncles- lots of different families but the same love ❤️

Today, we checked in by saying something we love doing with our families. Lots of people said playing is their favourite thing to do. Others said ” going on holiday” and “going to the park” and “watching Bluey”. It was so great to be in a crew circle and have every child speak and listen to eachother. We really are learning what Crew is!

We then had a game of Charades. It was funny, not being able to speak but helping people understand us. We guessed, ‘sleeping’, ‘baking’, ‘blowing out a candle’, ‘jumping’ and a number of animals. We were brilliant at it and best of all, we had fun together.

The children said they might play it home with their families.

In Crew, today, we talked about the things our families do for us. We are getting so good at taking turns to talk and remembering to look at the person talking in our circle. We then made our families a card to thank them for taking care of us. We showed craftsmanship and quality by using our name cards to copy our names and holding our pencils properly by ‘pinching it and putting it to bed’. Mrs Bubb and Mrs Price are so impressed!
