Year 3 Crews began their XP Outdoors again for the spring term.
The challenge: Who still remembers how to use flint and steel was done by Year 4 yesterday so obviously Year 3 had to beat them.
They challenged themselves even more without having any instructions, there were some questionable strikes to start, but soon everyone got the hang of it with amazing efforts from all.
What another great way to start the term-bring it on, Year 3!
Today, the Year 4 Crews braced the cold and started XP Outdoors again for the spring term.
A fun challenge: Who still remembers how to use flint and steel?
After a quick demo, it was time to put those skills to the test. At first, there were some hesitant strikes, but soon sparks were flying! Everyone got the hang of it, and by the end, every single crew member nailed it. What a great way to start the term-bring it on, Year 4!
The children are having an awesome time at their camp! They’ve just finished burgers and hotdogs and are now singing round the campfire! The children have been super and even survived the rain!
Well, Class 7 have had two busy days back as they start their adventure into Year 2. We have been designing key rings and then making them!
Today, we have had fun in Mr Kershaw’s camp. We started reading in the tents, then roasted marshmallows by the fire and finished off by making some dream catchers!
We then started making some cards for our visit out tomorrow!
What a fantastic first day back Class 10 have had. I am absolutely blown away by their attitude, hard work and kindness. Have you really had 5 weeks off?
We started today by having XP Outdoors with Mr Kershaw and Class 9. We had to build dens after there was a devastating storm that had sunk our ship. As a Crew, we had to make sure we worked together to collect materials and build dens that we could survive it!
After this, Class 10 were introduced to their first week back, mini-guiding question. We are looking into ‘what does Crew mean to me?’ Using think, pair, share, Class 10 were able to have some interesting discussions about how Crew helps them and others. There were so many fantastic ideas that were discussed! We found out that we would be spreading the message of kindness by painting kind messages onto rocks.
After lunch, we then continued our day by looking for rocks on the school field that could be used for our positivity rocks. We found loads and hope that we can inspire the wider community to complete their own, once ours are completed!
This morning has been wonderful in Nursery with Mr Kershaw. He set up a super camp site for us to enjoy and supported us in being safe around a camp fire to toast our marshmallows.
The children listened beautifully and were very safe. Mrs Burton and I are very proud of you.
This week we have created some beautiful crew bunting using leaf prints.
Class 9 had lots of fun today doing XP Outdoors today with Mr Kershaw. He created a fantastic lesson where the children got to experiment with musical sounds using items from our outdoor area. I was really impressed with the beats they were making and the different sounds they were creating together.
Great work class 9!
