This week we have started to look at choosing our Crew name
The pupils were asked to think about the dynamics of our crew, the types of characters in it and how we are as a crew. Are we calm, caring, creative and understanding? or loud, fussy, mad, emotional? or even a mixture of all of these?
Building on form this, to look for an influential figure, (past or present) that would link to this and stand as a good role model that also resonates with our character values of :
Courage
Respect
Compassion
Integrity
Craftsmanship and quality
Joshua had some great ideas, showing courage by sharing these for critique and to help us with our own ideas. Some really thoughtful choices coming along, can’t wait to see what else we can bring to the table. Here is Joshua’s thoughts for our crew name…
“I have two chosen to represent us, the first is a main and the second is the backup. This was an explanation on how this would work…let’s begin.
Elon Musk
- The way he has shown integrity is by devoting his whole life to save the planet like developing electric cars.
- The way he has shown compassion is during the financial crisis Elon injected all of his money into Tesla to stop the company from going under.
- He has shown respect by saying he respects the justice system
- Elon has shown courage by being willing to send rockets into space despite being told it was a bad investment.
- He has shown craftsmanship and quality by sending four rockets into space and correcting his mistakes every time.
David Beckham
- David Beckham has shown integrity by starting his own charity and becoming UNICEF ambassador.
- He has shown compassion by putting many years into perfecting the thing he enjoys.
- I couldn’t find anything on respect (other than his fragrance) but I’m sure he has shown respect in some ways.
- He has shown courage by speaking his mind and not being afraid of what people think.
Joshua has clearly thought out how these people link to our core values, but I wonder how they link to us as a crew? Looking forward to hearing your responses, choices and reasons guys.
Continuing with beautiful work Louis inspired his class mates this week with this fantastic effort in Art. His peers all gathered round to learn what he did in order to achieve this level of observational drawing!
We would also like to welcome our new crew member Ben, we are so pleased to have him in our crew. He has fitted right in as if he has always been with us!
And finally, for now, our crew have been using their heads, working together and building new friendships. A great start for a strong future!
