Some of the Y6 children in Crew Knowles have been grappling with long division for the past two days. They have used models and videos to try and teach themselves how to use the skill of long division.

I am so incredibly proud and impressed with the resilience that they have shown and the determination to succeed! They are supporting each other, coaching each other and generally just showing a real sense of crew!

Well done guys – I can’t believe how quickly you are picking up the skill!

As part of our mindfulness this week, we decided to look at and try meditation. Meditation is not for everyone but I’m so proud of my class and how they embraced it! I think it made us all feel sleepy and relaxed afterwards!

In our crew sessions this week we are focusing on mindfulness. Today we discussed what mindfulness activities we might do to help keep our minds happy and healthy! Our crew had lots of great ideas such as reading, painting, listening to music and playing our favourite game!

Unsurprisingly, one they didn’t mention was exercise! However we talked about the importance of exercise and how it keeps not only our bodies healthy but our minds to!

Here we are kick starting our Monday with Joe Wicks to give us an energy boost ready for the day!

After two fantastic crew sessions where we worked collaboratively and supported each other, qe tested out our parachutes this morning which was very egg-citing!! It is safe to say there were some eggcellent creations but unfortunately not all groups managed to protect their egg!

Crew Knowles have taken on the challenge of protecting an egg when it has been dropped from a height! Today we started to make our protective devices ready for the egg launch tomorrow! Watch this space to see how well we did!
