In our Crew time we thought about what kindness looks like. We decided to make it our mission to put a smile on someone’s face. We succeeded…
Thoughtful Thursday
A book look with a difference . . .
Miss Tunney and I have had the most lovely day! We wanted to see and hear about all the amazing learning going on across our campus, so rather than sit in our office flicking through work, we invited the owners of the exercise books to share their work instead.
We have had children in our early years reciting We’re Going on a Bear Hunt with actions, students in key stage one sharing some fantastic knowledge about castles and how their expert visitor helped them towards answering their guiding question, lower key stage two being so enthusiastic about their core text, The Lion and the Unicorn and finally year five and six explaining how clear and specific critique has helped them to improve their work into versions they are incredibly proud of.
To all of those children who shared their learning with us, thank you. It was a real privilege to hear about your learning so far this year. You all spoke confidently and showed real enthusiasm for your expeditions and the beautiful work you are producing.

World Mental Health Day
Year 1 talked about their feelings, worries and excitements; We discussed different ways to show kindness, compassion and support.
We are the WINNERS!
We would like to announce that Norton Infant won the football competition making us very happy and proud. What a wonderful team work and resilience you have shown. Well done to Stanley who scored the hat-trick goal!
Football Festival Champions
Our determined team of year 2s set off to Campsmount this afternoon for the football festival. We are so proud of them, not only did they behave impeccably, but they acted with great sportsmanship.
They also won every game they played and returned to school champions with a beautiful new trophy and their medals!
A huge thank you to Mrs Wojcik and Mrs Thurman for accompanying them. (and cheering very loudly! 📣)
You are all great ambassadors for Crew Norton.

Puzzle Time 🧩
Class Five did a great job this morning completing their jigsaw puzzles to discover what the core text for our science case study is going to be.
I wonder if they could retell the story to you at home?

Reception Fieldwork- We’re Going on a Bear Hunt 🐻
Extended Study
We have been so impressed with the beautiful work that has been done at home. We have had fieldwork with families, crafting and researching. Keep bringing it in and sharing with your crew – it’s great to keep learning from each other.

Mental Health Awareness Day 2022 💚
Today is World Mental Health Day, in class five we spent sometime listening to some videos about mental health and we talked about what we do in crew everyday to support our mental health. We then decided to take ten minutes away from lessons for our own mental health – we went outside and appreciated what is around us.
We looked at clouds, listened to wind and the birds and even caught some bubbles.
It was a beautiful way to start the afternoon – we have pledged to do it more often 💚
