I have been blown away by the thoughtful and compassionate discussions that happened in Crew Parsons this morning. Today marks one year since the start of the war in Ukraine. We watched the video below and discussed how the children will have been feeling and how lucky we are to live in such a diverse world. We also thought about all the different ways we could help people feel safe and loved in such a scary situation.
We followed that with a minutes reflection.
We have been sharing our beautiful work in academic crew. It was lovely to hear lots of critique and praise.

We are thinking about the connections we make with others this week as we mark ‘Children’s Mental Health Week 2023.’
We decorated jigsaw pieces to show the activities we do that help us to connect with others.
In crew we played the hooola hoop game, talking about the connections we have made as we passed the hoop around the circle.
Positive connections help us to keep our minds happy and healthy. We are all connected!
This morning in crew we shared a lovely story called The Invisible String. In the book the characters think about all the people they are connected to in the world.
We decided to have a think about all the connections we have and made our own invisible string web – we felt very loved and supported in our crew today because of all of our special connections. ❤️
Our musician of the week is . . . Elvis Presley 🎸
Crew Goodyer enjoyed a fun games session this ‘Flexible Friday’!
We had a visit from the school nursing team this afternoon who gave us information and food for thought to help us answer our guiding question: ‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’
Class 6 have been working incredibly hard in maths this week. They started by measuring in cm and m and demonstrated great collaboration when checking each others measurements.
They then moved on to solving problems to do with measures using all four operations to help. Once again they worked with their partners, sharing ideas and explaining their reasoning.
Great work Class 6!
This week we are listening to music from Elton John – enjoy!
A huge thank you to Lewis’ dad who came in and performed for us. The children absolutely loved the electric guitar! 🎸 I think we have some future rockstars in year one and two!
