Today has been a busy one! The children are settling in so well and have worked their socks off. We began by playing team building games then did some fab partner work in phonics. We then deepened our understanding of the harm caused to our world by green house gases and pollution in the oceans. We listened to stories about polar bears and penguins and began to make posters for other classes to encourage them to ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ just like we are! And we still have tomorrow’s Colour Run to look forward to.
I’m so proud of you all!
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!
We worked in teams this morning to pass the hoop around our team circles without breaking hands. They all worked very well together! Well done superstars!
See you tomorrow for our exciting colour run!!!
Class 8 made some beautiful cards and drinks coasters this morning. They had positive message and bright, colourful pictures of them, which looked fantastic!
In the afternoon, we walked around to Parklands care home in Thorne and hand delivered them to the residents there.
The children also bravely sang their crew songs, which ended with a large round of applause.
You are making me very proud already class 8, well done!

Today started off with Crew games where we had to pass through the hula hoop – don’t worry, we aren’t in a tangle!
Then, we visited Casson Court to share cards and sing songs. We loved our time there and hope to return again. Thank you so much for the kind donations as well! Mrs Stone and I were both so proud of each and every single one of you!
Finally, we completed some litter picking around school to help make sure we make our school look its best! Thank you to Mrs Hardman and Mrs Green for helping us out!
Please join us for our first Y5/6 family learning session of this year on Thursday 5th September 2pm – 3pm. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new classrooms to enjoy some space themed learning!
