Class 8 Shaw Fabulous First Week Back Friday

I have enjoyed this week with the children in class 8 so much! It has been such a pleasure to get to know them and we have had some very exciting experiences! Today has been all about team building where we played the hoop game, thought about what we do that makes us a superhero and then Mr Kershaw set us up an assault course, which was lots of fun.

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week!

Also, thanks so much everyone for 100% attendance in class 8 this week…I am so impressed!

Class 9 – tricky thesaurus work

To help the children build upon their own vocabulary and also to ensure our kindness and positivity rocks didn’t all say the same thing 😅, we introduced a little vocabulary task using a thesaurus. The children had to use a thesaurus to look up our popular words and write down as many synonyms they could find for each. It was tricky but they definitely did a good job! Well done guys!

Class 9 – what Crew means to us…

Class 9 were faced with the question this week to try a work out what crew means to them. To help us with this task we went on a little tour around the school to see if we can see Crew in action. This included children and staff, full classes, groups and just passing children and adults in the corridor. We were all really impressed at what the children in class 9 were able to pick up on around their school and how amazingly confident they were at talking about crew in various places around school.

What definitely stood out to the children in our school is that they saw so much kindness, sharing, encouragement, love and respect from the children to each other, children to staff and staff to children, that these words were definitely the main focus of our feedback and discussion after in our debrief circle. We also posted some shout out certificates on our school shout-out boards for some of the groups that really stood out to us! Amazing work guys! Really was lovely to hear you talk so beautifully about crew 🥰.

Class 9 – Just hooping around

Our first team building session this week was pass the hoop! The children were brilliant in this and really understood and took on board our discussions around what good team work should look like, sound like and feel like. Well done guys this was definitely a great success!

Crew Knowles – Bracelet Making

We ended our first week back by making bracelets today and writing lovely postcards for each other. We then read out the postcards and presented the bracelets to each other. It was so lovely to hear the things said and to see the smile on everyone’s faces. Our goal was to make everyone feel special and I think we did that!

Reception Book and a bun!

This afternoon the reception children were joined by their families to enjoy reading in the reception garden. The children enjoyed a sweet treat alongside their stories to finish off a fantastic first week! Thank you to everyone that came it was so wonderful to see our entire reception crew together ❤️

Class 10 – Day 4!

Well, we’ve ended the week really well in Class 10 and I am really pleased with how well we are starting to adapt to our new classroom norms! I know that we will continue to get better and better as the weeks and year progresses. We started the day off by voting for our new Crew Councillor, Learning Councillor and also our Digital Leader. We had so many people want to have a role it was great to see!

Then, we continued to build our Crew further. We had to get across the classroom without “slipping” off of the rocks and onto the carpet. We had great fun and lots of encouragement was on show again!

After break, we went on a scavenger hunt looking for a variety of things in the playground, like feathers, flying insects and a varying flowers around the school and playground. We loved working together to find these items!

Finally, we concluded the day by painting our rocks as an end to our final product about what Crew meant to us. We have some really lovely designs!

I really hope Class 10 have enjoyed this week as much as I have! Have a lovely weekend and come back ready for hook week! 😆
