We decided to put our reading skills to good use this morning and revamp our bookmarks!
We read instructions carefully and followed the directions to make some new cool bookmarks.
It was lovely to see everyone supporting each other with the reading, cutting or folding. It meant the whole of Crew Parsons left with a completed book mark.
Well done guys ❤️
In preparation for Nurseries visit to the Farm tomorrow we have read the story ”What the Ladybird Heard”. We have also been learning about farm animals, their key features and the sounds that they make. We have played observation and description games and listening games. We’re looking forward to our visit and seeing the animals in real life.
This morning in crew we have been trying out some different calming techniques to help us. We tried out three different ones.
The first was finger breathing. This is where you use the outline of your hand to help you breathe in and out. One round gave you five, big relaxing breaths.
The next was called settling thoughts. This one was where you focussed on the sounds you could hear around you like birds tweeting, mindful music or the wind in the trees.
The final strategy was the listening game We heard the sound of a bell and we had to activate our listening to see how long we could hear the bell for.
Elizabeth enjoyed the listening game because it was really calming. Jack agreed! Katya liked the finger breathing strategy because she hadn’t seen anything like that before. Lottie enjoyed the finger breathing too because she was able to close her eyes and really focus.
I wonder when we could use these strategies outside of crew sessions.
Great start to the week Crew Parsons xx

We have had a great day celebrating World Book Day 📚📖
I think you will all agree, they look amazing!
We have enjoyed all the book related activities too 😀
Year 1 had a very busy day being food technologists. We used different skills to make a delicious Greek salad and in the afternoon we decorated our biscuits.
This week, class five have been working really hard writing instructions for a Greek style salad. Today we have tested out the instructions using our new design technology skills. We were really proud of the results – it tasted delicious!
