Exploring Outdoors
In Crew this week we have enjoyed spending time outdoors making connections between ourselves and the great outdoors. We have spent time talking about ourselves and people that are important to us before spending some quality time together outside, enjoying being in the fresh air with the people that are important to us in school. It made us feel really happy when we spotted some of the first signs of spring time in our woods.
Crew Outdoors
We enjoyed getting outside this morning. We thought about the importance of working as a team. Our mission was to make a bridge that went over the lava! The children did a great job 👏
Class Connections
We have been thinking in crew today about all the different things that make us unique – we then realised that all of those things that make us special help us to make connections too.
Just look how connected we really are with our class five jigsaw.

Nursery learning how to lift mood with exercise.
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, Nursery have taken part in a special dancing crew to show how exercise can lift their mood and make them feel happy. We did a comparison of before and afterwards to see if they felt any different. Most children said they felt happier.
Healthy and Happy 😊
We have been thinking about how exercise makes us feel good. We’ve enjoyed keeping fit together 😁
Let’s Connect
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!
Expanded Noun Phrases
I was so impressed this morning with class 5 in English. We haven been looking at model descriptions of The Green Ship and decided that it would be good to include adjectives and expanded noun phrases in our writing. Today we have been working collaboratively to generate some great ideas for us to include in our writing tomorrow.
Awesome work class five!

Tranquil Tuesday
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. ❤️
