In crew we shared ideas about the things we can do to look after our amazing planet and made Earth Day pledges.

Getting creative in hook week…
The children have enjoyed hooking into our new expedition ‘What happens where the sea meets the shore?’ We have been busy immersing our classroom and have been very creative…
The children have used their drawing skills to draw a fish. We then critiqued our work in crew, being kind and specific so we know how to make them even better on our next draft!
We ended our week making our ocean bottles…
‘HATS ON FOR HOPE’
On Thursday 28th March it was ‘Wear a hat’ day, which is Brain Tumour Research’s annual fundraising event to bring hope to brain tumour patients and their families. This charity is very close to our hearts, having supported children and families in the past and currently who are directly affected by this terrible disease. Every March, as Brain Tumour Awareness month comes to an end, people wear their favourite hat at work, at school, in fact anywhere they go, to support this vital charity and help find a cure. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.
We are grateful to all of our children and families who were able to support this fantastic cause and we are delighted to let you know that we managed to raise £293.00!!
The total raised by Wear A Hat Day 2024 so far is more than £100,000 and still climbing.
Key Stage 1 Crew Challenge
Our KS1 crews took part in a Humpty Dumpty crew challenge to mark our Norton Campus science week. We investigated materials to see which one would make the best jacket to protect Humpty Dumpty when he fell from the wall. After investigating the materials we voted for the ones we thought would offer the most protection. We also discussed how we could make the test fair and made predictions for the results.
Reading Crew
We loved reading and sharing our favourite books with our Crew buddies. What a lovely morning we have had!
Thoughtful Thursday
In crew today we checked in with something we have enjoyed so far this week. It was great to hear the variety of activities that everyone is enthusiastic about from singing assembly and reading sessions to learning about food chains and playing emotions corners.
We shared and celebrated some of the work we were most proud of and made pledges for the week ahead. Well done Crew Goodyer keep up the great work and never loose that enthusiasm for learning.
Keeping Healthy
We have been learning about the importance of being physically and mentally healthy in crew. We played charades to share with our crew some great ways to help our health.
Well done Crew Tinker ⭐️
The Secret Room 🎄🎅🏼
It was a very exciting day at Norton Infant School when the secret room returned!
The children loved visiting a special place that had been turned into a Santa’s grotto full of gifts. Each child chose something they would like to give to a special grown up in their lives.
Then Santa’s little helpers got to work wrapping the gifts in the children’s chosen paper. It was such a magical experience for the children and we want to say a very big thank you to the volunteers who wrapped hundreds of presents and to Mrs Jackson, Mrs Thurman, Miss Staves and Mrs Inman for creating the Secret Room. I’m looking forward to next year already!
Spooky sights in class 5! 🕸👻🎃
Miss Tinker and I opened the door to some spooky sights this morning!!
Pop Art in KS1
We have had a great week exploring Pop Art. We have looked at pieces of Pop Art by famous artists and said we we notice and praise about them. We then used pencils, paints and felt tip pens to start to create our own versions of Pop Art. We can’t wait to finish our posters, they will look amazing.
