2L PE

Exciting news! 2L has been lucky enough to have been given a PE slot with the coaches each week.

PE will be on THURSDAY each week so please send your child to school in their PE kit.

Thank you for your support,

Blind date with a book

3F picked their favourite book and wrapped it up. On the front of the wrapping, we labelled the reading colour and wrote the first sentence or blurb of the book. We can now add our books to our Crew reading shelf. Would you like a blind date with a book?

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.

The Colour Monster

Our text this week has been the Colour Monster. We have been unpicking the different emotions as we have been through lots of different feelings this week as it has been a big change! The children hunted for colour monsters and completed different exercises. We have some beautiful pieces of writing and learned all about what makes each other happy, sad, angry, scared, calm, and what we all love. We also learned about the primary colours and mixed them to create secondary colours. It was lots of FUN!

Acts of Service

In Year 1, our act of service is in preparation for something that is quite a few months away for some very special people in our lives. We have planted some Daffodils and designed a special gift label. We began by weeding the planters before Mrs. Brookes (Our Gardening Expert) came to help us with the planting.

Graffiti Artist!

On Wednesday, we met James! James talked to us all about Graffiti art. Unfortunately, we were a bit too young for the spray paints but we did a fabulous job rolling the background.

Outdoor Learning!

This week we have been making the most of the wonderful weather we have had! On Wednesday we explored shapes, inspired by our experience with the Graffiti Artist, we had a Graffiti shape table where the children could draw around, colour and label. We then went outside to use natural objects like sticks, stones, grass and even a couple of acorns that we found to make shapes!

On Thursday, we were inspired by the abstract workings of Kandinsky and we have recreated his work through different mediums, including outdoor objects! As well as developing their creativity, they had to work together as a team to find resources and make a piece together. We then viewed each other’s creations and talked about what we liked about them.

On Friday, we continued to work on our team work and communication skills. We had to pass a hoop around the circle. We made it more challenging by splitting into two teams and having a competition then forming a big circle with multiple hoops going around. It was wonderful to see the children, helping each other, intructing each other and cheering each other on. We are going to be the most incredible team this year, 1CR!

Act of service- What does crew mean to me?

Today, 3B completed their act of service: litter picking around the local area. Not only did the children do a great job, they also had lots of fun! This was also appreciated by some members of the public who said kind, encouraging words and even clapped the children for their hard work. Well done!

We also created some amazing anti littering posters to spread the message of looking after our environment by putting rubbish in the bin.

Day 2 and 3 in 2L

This week we designed fairy doors for our crew community project, we took part in some graffiti artwork and played a team building game where we had to work out which colour sticker we had on our heads. The children were not allowed to speak and instead had to communicate in different ways. I was very impressed by their signing skills!

On Day 3, we enjoyed creating our fairy doors and our very own fairy wings.
