Another crew challenge ✅

By Chris Mumby20th March 2021

Yesterday, Crew Mumby were challenged with placing the pen in the pot by only using their bodies, string and most importantly communication. The activity was a fantastic way to end our extended crew sessions and I feel that we’ve learnt lots about how we can use these skills in our daily lives.

Next week we are going to use crew to discuss and take part in well-being activities and unpick why it’s important to take care of ourselves. The guiding question is ‘What has the pandemic taught us about the importance of crew?’

‘If you get crew right, you get everything right!’

By Chris Mumby15th March 2021

Check out our photos from the crew challenges we’ve done in the last couple of days. On Friday we played ‘minefield’ where we were reliant on our crew to communicate us specific instructions to guide us through. In the debrief we talked about how we could use these skills in other subjects and how specific language makes us better and achieve. Today we completed the egg challenge- the children were tasked to work collaboratively in order to create a model that would withstand a drop from a height. Check out our pictures below:

Today’s crew challenge: Paper Cup Tower!

By Chris Mumby10th March 2021

Can you make a paper cup tower without touching the cup? Well today, in crew Mumby, we did just that. The children were given string, elastic bands only to move cups from one place to another. I was really impressed with their collaborative skills and communication however I delighted to see the resilience shown when things didn’t go to plan!

Crew Mumby Balloon Tower Challenge!

By Chris Mumby8th March 2021

What do 20 balloons, a roll of sellotape and a length of string have to do with being Crew? This week, Crew Mumby grappled with producing the tallest tower they could. Our target was to work as a team and we discussed the importance of listening, team work, collaboration and compromise. Before the activity, we discussed our tactics and agreed on our roles within the team. We were then given 30 minutes to complete our towers before joining the circle to debrief our reflections. A super start to making the relationships in class even stronger than before.

LOLA’S FANTASTIC FUNDRAISING

By Claira Salter3rd March 2021

Lola has taken part in a walking challenge with Thorne ladies netball team; a team which her mum plays netball with.

They took on the challenge as a team to walk from lands end to John O’Groats and back virtually, which they completed before the end of February and so they then walked back to Doncaster! Lola also took part in this challenge and as a team they have walked over 2200 miles and raised over £2600 for pancreatic cancer.

Lola wanted to share this amazing achievement before logging her own steps this week as part of the whole school challenge to walk the same distance in March! We are very excited to see the steps stacking up and can’t wait to share the weekly totals with you all! Thanks for sharing Lola and mum!!
