Caring Crew❤️

As part of our Crew Curriculum this term we have been discussing Mental Wellbeing and the importance of being mentally healthy as well as physically healthy.
Some of the strategies we talked about this morning to help our wellbeing included practicing gratitude, showing kindness and compassion for others and keeping physically active.
we then discussed the things that make us happy. We talked about our favourite books, films, activities and food; our favourite things!

Motivational crew 💙

This week in Crew, we worked together in mini crews to solve some tricky matchstick puzzles. From this we learnt the importance of taking part, having a resilient attitude, thinking outside of the box and listening to others ideas respectfully. Well done crew!

As part of this weeks We Care Wednesday curriculum in Crew, 1C discussed ways we can regulate our emotions. We recognised that its okay not feel okay all the time, and there are things we can do to help ourselves when we feel low.
Take a look at some of the lovely ideas Crew came up with!

1/2K – Week 3

What we got up to last week: 

In PE we have been continuing to work on our team work skills. The children were split into small groups and had the task of getting across the playground using only two skipping ropes without falling off. They were amazing! 

In Maths we have been looking at subtraction. We looked at this in a variety of different ways. 

Kindness Week: We have loved all of our kindness week activities as part of our new case study! We have made kindness badges (with the help of our lovely Year 6 students) to remind everyone to be kind. We talked about the importance of friendships and what it takes to be a good friend! We had a very special visit from some nurses for our Safe Touch talk. We discussed the importance of positive relationships, what they look like and the importance of trusted adults. 

1/2K – Our week this week!

Maths: 

This week 1/2K have been getting active in the classroom. We’ve been enjoying some counting exercises to warm up for Maths! We have also been bringing technology into the classroom during our Maths lesson and working in pairs to develop our team working skills. 

English: 

This week we have been learning all about independent clauses that contain a subject and a verb with a little help from Beyoncé. We used pictures from our class story to inspire our writing and the children wrote some excellent sentences! I’m so proud of them. 

Art: 

As part of our remembrance topic, we have been creating Poppy art. First we drew our poppies using wax crayons. Then we used the water colours to create a background. We were able to wash over our wax crayon picture without it smudging; it was like magic! The children talked about using different colours to represent the smoke there might have been or browns puddles to make mud. We also made poppies using wire, buttons and cupcake cases. It was very fiddly but we are so pleased with the result. 

Crew: 

As part of our We Care Wednesday, we were exploring the nature of friendships and discussing what it takes to be a great friends. We decided that the most important quality in a friend is to be kind and caring.   

Motivation Monday!

It was so great to catch up with Crew Ketteringham this morning. I absolutely loved hearing all about the amazing things you got up to in the holidays. Then to get ourselves into the perfect headspace for learning, we turned motivation Monday into meditation Monday. We all left feeling very calm.
