If you are wondering why we all came home a little bit smokey today, that’s because we had a wonderful afternoon in our Green Top Camp with Mr Kershaw! Some team games, campfire songs and toasting marshmallows. YUMMY!

I think these are just gorgeous! The children were asked to pick someone to make a bracelet for, someone they maybe wouldn’t normally pick to work with. But before we got to making, the children paired up and played some getting to know you games with each other. They then spilt up with the brief of ‘designing a bracelet with one word to positively describe your chosen friend’. Tomorrow, they will be writing a post card and attaching their bracelets ready to hand them out. Take at look, I wonder who will get each one???

I am so incredibly proud of my crew so far this week and no doubt this will continue. They have faced a number of challenges and team building exercises which I can honestly say they have blown me away in the way they have completed them. They are showing good teamwork, communication, holding each other to account in kind and constructive ways, problem solving and building new friendships.

Thank you all for all you have achieved this week I am so proud of you all!

We have been working on our guiding question ‘how can we work together to achieve an end goal?’ The children all had a section to sketch, colour in and decorate how they pleased so when put back together in a certain order it creates our new crew sign.

We set out expectations of each other to ensure that the final piece was beautiful and showed excellent craftsmanship and ensured we held anyone accountable if their section was unfinished or rushed and not their best work… luckily they all smashed it and have done absolutely amazing. Stay posted for the final piece when I find somewhere big enough to put it!
