Team building in Crew faulding!

We had so much fun with our lava challenge yesterday! I was blown away by the great ideas each team had and everyone’s enthusiasm.

We started off the challenge steady but of course we had to turn up the heat (no pun intended after this weeks weather ha ha) and give them less time to get from one side to another. You all smashed it! I really enjoyed hearing all of your reflections on what went well during our debrief afterwards.

Sharing our feelings in Crew Faulding

In our feelings circle today, we were testing our memory and listening skills by sharing our feelings with a partner and getting them to share it with the rest of our crew. It was great to do our feelings in a different way as it really encouraged us to focus on what our friends were sharing.

Crew Faulding- working on our pledges!

We spent our time in crew this morning finishing off our Crew norms and pledges. It was brilliant to see everyone think carefully about their next steps moving up in to year 3 and what they want to work on!

Keep your eyes peeled for our pledge video later on in the week! It’s going to be a good one!

Crew Faulding- Leaning tower of shoes!

We had so much fun today creating our leaning tower of shoes! Another brilliant crew building activity where we had to communicate with each other and share our ideas! Well done to the winning team who’s tower was a whopping 36cm tall!!!

XP Climate Conference ’22

On Thursday Evening, Miss Tortora and I had the pleasure of attending a learning celebration at XP East. It was a fantastic event to raise awareness of the impacts of Climate Change and what we can do as a community to help.

A huge shoutout to all of the children from across the Primary schools that attended and presented in front of over a hundred people. They shared their learning journey from our Spring Expedition ’Why should we protect our beautiful planet?’ In particular a big thank you to Thia, JJ and Georgia, along with their parents that represented Green Top. An added shout out to Jersey and Dexter for being a HUGE help selling the CD’s on our stall.

It was a great way to celebrate and showcase our Final Product and music video!

Making memories to last a lifetime! Crew Faulding and Crew Myers

We celebrated our last full day together in style!

We used our well earned attendance money from the whole year to have a breakfast fit for a 5 * all inclusive resort- with amazing waitress service (myself, Miss Myers and Mr O).

Then to end the day, we went in to battle with an all mighty water fight. A special thank you to all children for making sure that we all got royally drenched. Poor Mr O couldn’t put his shoes back on for 3 hours afterwards!

It has been a special day to remember with lots of laughs and smiles.

We are crew!!

Year 3/4: Football Tournament at XP

On Friday, a small number of year 3/4 children had the wonderful opportunity to play in a football tournament with another school in our Trust (Plover). A big ‘shout-out’ to all the children for working hard and being kind. It made the afternoon competitive and very enjoyable. A special ‘shout-out’ to Niah for being player of the tournament – you worked your socks off for your team and never said a negative thing to anyone. A thank you to all the parents involved in taking the children and returning them, to Mr Overson for all your help and to Mr Mead (of Plover) for arranging a fantastic afternoon.

Year 3 and 4: GTGT 2022

Yesterday it was fantastic to see so many talented children perform for us in our phase crew meeting. We were blown away by the efforts and dedication that you all put in to practising and performing your acts.

It’s not an easy thing to get up and perform in front of an audience but you all smashed it and it showed such brilliant character growth for getting up there and having a go!

We are so proud of you!!

**We have voted in our crews today so we will be announcing the Year 3/4 winner tomorrow!**

Watch this space but you definitely all deserve 50 HoWL points for working hard!

Thank you, the year 3/4 team 🙂 x

Year 4: Sports Day!

What a fab morning we had on Monday at our 2022 Sports Day!

Great to see everyone having a go and trying new things that are out of their comfort zones. A true highlight for the staff was hearing the cheers of encouragement from everyone from different crews- you were all so supportive of each other!

A huge well done to Crew Myers on being the overall champs!

You all smashed it and we are so proud of you all!
