Here are just some of our staff members who have shown courage and engaged in the XP staff induction program, developing their knowledge and understanding of crew!
We are very proud of them and we hope they wear their courage badges with pride.

We had a brilliant crew session today. We said what we were good at and then practiced something that we found hard – using our hand muscles. We had to use tweezers to pass the pasta around the circle. We found it very difficult to do, but we persevered and did it! We even had a competition. Well done F2BP for your resilience.

In ‘We Care Crew’, we talked about our families. We then drew all the people and pets who live in our house. We then used sticks to make the square for our house and the triangle for our roof. Our crew display board is filling up fast! We noticed that all our pictures weren’t the same and that our families may be different but we are all loved. #love plover #wearecrew
This week we have been learning about compassion. We have learnt that we are all different and we can all do different things. To celebrate we had a ‘this is me’ paint party which started with us dancing to the song This Is Me, from The Greatest Showman, before doing our colour run. Keep your eyes peeled for a video over the coming weeks.

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 ❤️
F2M created our ‘Perfectly Crew Meade – This Is Us’ collage – which represents everyone, diversity and our we care Wednesday motto ‘Different Families, One Love’ where we discussed how some people have different family dynamics.
This all links to our compassion character trait for our colour run tomorrow!
Staff supported the RSPCA- our whole school charity by engaging in acts of service.

We know this will be the start of something special and we can’t wait to continue to support such a special charity.

These superstars have all demonstrated courage this week. Some children have been courageous and stood at the front of the class to show their working out to some of our tricky maths questions, some children have shown courage and took on the lead role in our arithmetic coaching lesson and one child was very courageous and used his voice to remind his friends they were making the wrong choices.

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.
Crew Haycock have been challenging each other to improve their times-tables knowledge. Using our heat maps, we have identified where we have made great progress and where we still need to make that extra little push. Keep helping each other guys…together we have got this Multiplication Times Tables Check!
