Competitive Crew Commando Joe Challenges

Year 3 had great fun on Friday afternoon when they had to work in crew teams to complete the challenges set for them. Communication was key; some of us were great at this, whilst others needed to learn share the air or to listen with more care. Once this was achieved, we were able to work much more effectively as crews and in doing so, we learnt a lot about each other too!

Well done, Year 3. Remember to continue communicating clearly and working to your strengths.

What does Crew mean to me?

3H have been really busy this week thinking about ‘What Crew means to them’ and how they could show this in an ‘act of kindness’. We realised quickly that Crew means looking after each other and the area we live and work in. To show an act of kindness, we decided to head out into the community and give it a good old clean up.

With litter pickers and bags in hand, 3H came back with more litter than I even imagined!

Well done everyone! Your act of kindness did not go unnoticed by your community!

Y5 RSPCA visit

As part of our first week back and developing our new crews, some of our Y5 pupils had the opportunity to visit the RSPCA. They were able to meet some of the dogs who are waiting to find their forever home. Y5 are working on a very exciting project with the RSPCA so watch this space- more details to follow shortly!

Does Crew stop at the gate?

Year 2 has concluded their exploration of this guiding question. We have taken our fairy doors into the local woodland and hope they will make people smile as they spot them. Please leave our doors where they are if you do spot them! We have also left a little present near each door. This has a little book to share at home and a handwritten poem by Year 2 to share the excitement of opening a book. We hope that when people have read the books, they will put them back into the bags and re-hide them for someone else to find.

‘How can our crew be strengthened by acts of service to others?’ – learning about caring for dogs and adoption appeals.

Following our call with the Doncaster branch of the RSPCA, we today worked to support them by sketching the dogs they have for adoption and beginning to type some pieces of persuasive writing, hoping to encourage potential homes for their pets. This required us to recall the features of persuasive writing, as well as develop our computing skills in word processing.

To aid with providing good information in our writing, we also had a visit from Mrs Ogle’s dog where we asked questions about what it takes to be a responsible owner.

I can’t wait to see your finished pieces, they’re looking great already!

Be Kind: How do we show we care?

In F2BP, we have been learning eachother’s names. We talked about feeling special when people know our names. We are going to be kind to our new friends by remembering their names to show we care. The photos show a game we played where we rolled the ball to a friend so they could say their name. After a few rounds, we rolled it to someone and said their name first. By the end, we remembered lots more names.
