This sparked some great discussion on current issues across the world which have happened this week. It was fab to hear the maturity in the opinions of crew piper who are only 12-13 years of age. It made me very proud to hear them and have a mature conversations about the world we live in.

Another week of hard work and great efforts from Crew Piper. Very impressed with some of the fantastic pieces of art that has been created by crew. Here are just a few.

 

Crew hangout today was a quiz from Tom and Miss O’Grady. Winners were Macey and Olliver but I don’t know how they got all my riddles correct. It was nice to laugh and joke with crew today during the quiz and we even had some Tik tok’s dances in there.

Hope everyone has a lovely holiday and enjoys relaxing with family. Take care

Year 7/8 Common Mission

By Charlotte OGrady1st May 2020

As part of Common Mission in year 7/8 we are launching The Book of Memories. Crew leaders will be sharing this during google hangouts. We would like you to produce a virtual (slides) or book of your memories during this time so that we can look back and reflect on our time at home.

Each week you will be given a theme to help you create your book of memories and give you ideas of activities you might be able to do at home. Your crew leader will share the introduction with you and how you can make your book and also the first theme which is “What is in my cupboards”

We look forward to seeing your ideas and sharing with us what you have been up to whilst at home.

Quiz time for Crew Piper

By Charlotte OGrady17th April 2020

During this strange time it is always good to keep laughing and smiling and this morning Crew Piper joined in on a crew quiz led by Ben and Jake. It was full of random questions and a couple of challenges to keep everyone laughing (mainly at me). Well done to Olliver L on winning. It was great to chat to everyone about Easter and what they have been up to over the past week. We have met a few pets this week Josh’s pug Stanlee and Kiera’s new puppy Marley. A few of the crew have been baking and helping in the garden and Jake has a new hairstyle.

I have asked Crew Piper to send me in some pictures for us to share so hopefully they will be posted next week. Remember our next check in Tuesday 10.30 and then Friday 11.30 (Olliver L quiz). If everyone can attend that would be great.

Thanks to Oliver G who has sent me a picture of the flowers they are going to plant to re create their garden. Also thanks to Ben for showing us some tricks in the garden.

Stay safe from Crew Piper

Crew Piper Google Hangout check in

By Charlotte OGrady1st April 2020

This morning was our first google hangout check in. Half of the crew turned up for a check in. Miss O’Gradys lack of IT skills worked eventually LOL. It was fab to see and chat to everyone. We talked about what we had been up to and everyone was getting on well with the work but also making sure they spend time with family. We talked about what films we have watched and there were some good recommendations such as Snitch, Umbrella Academy, Thor.

I would like to say thank you to my crew for continuing to work hard and to parents for supporting with the work. Here is our smily photo(in the rain) from the first day we became a crew it always brightens my day.

Keep smiling everyone and take care.

Miss O’Grady
