As part of this week’s community crew, we wanted to take part in ‘national walking month’. We talked about the benefits of walking from a health aspect to our mental health. As you can see from the pictures we certainly enjoyed the fresh air, sunshine and time to chat. Great work team year 4.
Well done to Crew Mumby for putting so much effort into your costume designs! I was really impressed with how creative they were. Super work.
A big well done to Lola, Dexter, Brooklyn, Bradley, Faith, Dante and Marcie for completing today’s 100g challenge. It is super that you have engaged with maths week! We’ve got flour, icing sugar, rice, pasta, cereal, dice and of course some lovely grapes!
This Friday, Friday 30th April, marks the beginning of the Captain Tom 100 Challenge which will continue until Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May.Â
The family of Sir Captain Tom Moore is inviting the world to take inspiration from his famous 100 laps around his garden to celebrate Tom’s life, his generosity of spirit and the hope and joy he brought to millions.

Let the number 100 be your inspiration and do something amazing, whether it’s..

Baking 100 cupcakes
Singing for 100 minutes.
We would love to see lots of you taking part and taking lots of photographs of your challenges. Please send any photographs or videos to [email protected] so we can celebrate your contributions on the blog.

Dress up ideas:
The children have been busy creating the most amazing classroom environment ready for our new expedition: ‘Why is it important to share different stories about World War 2?’.
Crew Mumby did an amazing job of creating anchor charts based on what caused World War 2; they used sources of evidence carefully and clearly summarised the main points that we discovered. We’ve had a brilliant week during hook week and the activities we’ve done have helped us build up our background knowledge ready to take on case study one! Well done Crew- this is going to be an amazing expedition!
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?’
The children in Crew Mumby have successfully won the school’s weekly attendance competition 5 times this year so far. They have decided that they’d like to have a McDonald’s as the treat. Please can you fill out the form below to consent to this treat and select the meal your child would like.
Thank you for supporting your child’s excellent attendance this year! They are hoping to earn some more attendance money before the year is over.
Kind regards,
Mr Mumby
