What a lovely morning we had completing an orienteering course where we got to run around the KS2 playground in search of different points!
We then were lucky to be able to visit Camp Green Top that Mr Kershaw put on for us. We read in tents, made musical instruments and toasted marshmallows with Mr Kershaw!
Here we are reading and making instruments!
We ended the day by litter picking within the community!
Class 12 have had an amazing week so far completing lots of fun activities to build on our existing Crew values. I am so proud of everyone’s hard work and participation and cannot wait for the Water Extravaganza and more importantly, the rest of our year together!
Today we have been so busy! It started with orienteering this morning. The children used Electronic tags to go around the playground finding the markers, using maps of the school. It timed them to see how quick they were and the children worked with their partners brilliantly. I was tired just watching them run around the field!
After that we had our xp outdoors experience session. We moved around the 3 activities in our crews. These were reading in the teepee tents, toasting and eating marshmallows and then making musical instruments using natural wood from the field. It was so much fun!
Finally we took the cards that we made to a local care home. The residents were so pleased to see us and loved chatting to the children.
Can’t wait for Friday!!! See you in the morning!
A huge thank you to Time and Plaice who provided our tea completely free of charge at our Year 5 camping event! We are so grateful for your kindness and generosity and the children said the food was better than Gordon Ramsay’s! Thank you!
Another smashing day in our new class! Smores and singing in Camp Green Top with Mr Kershaw, more craft activities with our wonderful Young Learning Coaches – who are already proving invaluable – and our proud postcard winners, Rueben and Lennox. More of the same tomorrow kids? Don’t mind if I do!
A very lovely afternoon spent with Mr Kershaw for our XP Outdoors session. The children learnt about fire safety, how to keep a fire burning and how to make a pizza using tortilla wraps, tomato and herb sauce and cheese. The children then cooked them with care on the fire and enjoyed eating them once they were all oozy and warm. What a delicious treat for a Monday afternoon!
A huge shout out to all of the Nursery children for their excellent listening skills and awareness of the danger of fire which meant we could have an exciting experience safely.
Today, our Year 5 Crews headed down to the XP Outdoors workshop for an exciting hands-on session in tool work. Working together, they learned how to safely split logs using axes and practiced their whittling techniques with knives. It was a brilliant opportunity to build confidence, and show respect for the tools — all while having fun outdoors!
We had so much fun today with Mr Kershaw and the parachute. We played lots of fun games and we worked hard as a crew.
Well done everyone for working so hard.
Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones
