Crew Rosa Parks have had another great week. There have been two birthdays, Sareena and Mrs C that were celebrated in a fun way. Virtual bingo took place……………Congratulations Elijah on your win!! Virtual charades was so funny, Fin miming Shrek, Andrew miming Forest Gump, with a wig as props courtesy of his Mum, Georgia gave us food for thought with her Harry Potter mime and there were many more superb mimes. Everyone was brilliant and it went really well. We will do it again for Rileys birthday.

The week has been busy work wise too, over half of Crew Rosa Parks have been awarded with Beautiful work for their Humanities work. Well done. I am really proud of the calibre of the work that is getting handed in. You are so on it Crew!!

We have had some more front covers shared for the Book of Memories that Crew are doing. They are superb. Thank you Elijah, Guraaj and Andrew.

Elijah has also been working on his nature section of the book.

He has shared what he can see in his garden and what he can see through his window.

A big shout out to Callum who 2 weeks ago was our gardening expert. He seems to be able to turn his hand to anything because this week he is showcasing his cooking skills.

A reminder that it is now the 2 week break for Crew, please don’t stop sharing the wonderful photos of the things that you are doing during half term, I love to see them and share them. Most of all though stay safe.

Crew Rosa Parks have submitted some beautiful work this past week in all subjects. There has been some outstanding contributions, where the content and the craftsmanship and quality has been exceptional. A big shoutout this week goes to Elijah, Joshua and Holly.

We have all been working on a book of memories for us to look back on when this unprecedented time has passed. Our focus last week was our front cover and we discussed many different ideas as to what we could put on there and how we could design it. Drawing, colouring, writing and computers were all put forward as to the different ways we could present it. Holly has used her computer to design hers. What a fantastic set of memories represented just on the front cover.

Next week we are focusing on Nature Week. Some ideas for Crew to be looking at and having a go at are: Whats in my garden? Make your own bug house or What do you see on your daily walk?

Have a good week with this Crew Rosa Parks. I am really looking forward to seeing the results.

Stay safe!

Crew Rosa Parks have had a busy week again. We have a wide range of activities that have been undertaken at home. There has also been some beautiful work submitted. A huge shout out here to Guraaj , Georgia and Holly, the recipients of this weeks praise postcards. These 3 girls received these because of how hard they work, the beauty of their work and their work ethic. Well done!

As a Crew we have a daily morning Crew check in activity where we all add our responses (me included) to a shared doc. The check ins range from, Where would you like to be right now? If you were a book what would the title be? What are you missing the most right now? and If you were a breed of dog what breed would you be and why?

One of the check ins that has stood out the most this week for me is What are you grateful for? The responses are beautiful and thought provoking. Crew are grateful for their family, life, love and laughter. They are grateful for home, the sunshine and having a garden to go out in to. They are grateful for technology so that they can talk to family and see them. They are also grateful for their parents who are supporting them and helping them with their work and their emotions. Wow!!

We have two google hangouts a week, one on a Monday at 11am and one on a Friday at 11.30am. Attendance has been fantastic. Here are Crew doing what they do best…..talking!!

We all enjoy these times to catch up where we can actually see each other too.

The busy bees in Crew have still been sharing lots of activities they are doing at home. 

Callum is our gardener!

Elijah is our cook this week! Home made egg fried rice from scratch.

Harry is our performing artist and our beautiful artist too!

Watch out Elton John!!

Well done everyone. Keep all these activities going.

A quick reminder that after our Crew Google hangout on Mondays there will be a regular X25 HUMS hangout too. Stay focused on your work and keep submitting it. Don’t forget the deadline for your HUMS Immersion work is Friday 1st May.

Work hard, Get smart, Be kind & Stay safe.

Crew Rosa Parks have had a busy week. Not only are they undertaking their school work at home, they are having Crew google hangouts twice a week and also taking part in weekly Crew challenges that are set.

This week they had a choice of an art challenge, a physical challenge or a cooking/baking challenge.

Andrew and Elijah rose up to the art challenge. Fantastic guys!! 

Maddi blew me away with her cooking and baking skills.

Holly is ready for Masterchef too!!

These are just a few of Crews spectacular efforts at the challenges set. Keep it up!!

Next week the new expedition starts for Year 8 (X25). This is such an exciting time, Crew Rosa Parks have a Google hangout at 11am on Monday which will be followed by a whole year group hangout at 11.30 for the introduction to the new expedition. I know I’m looking forward to it.

Therefore, for any students in Crew that need to just complete some bits from the current expedition can we make sure that they are completed before then. All your teachers are working so very hard to make sure you have super exciting expeditions, even in this very tricky time we find ourselves in, so please help them by working hard too.

Stay safe.

Wow!! How many Easter Eggs did Crew Rosa Parks receive on Sunday? It was a true chocolate festival.

It was fabulous to see and hear Crew in a google hangout yesterday. Our check in was which Easter Eggs did you receive? and more importantly………………….how many are left?The answer to the second part is Crew Rosa Parks are a greedy bunch!!

Well done to those in Crew who are working hard on all the work set and a massive shout out this week to Finlay and Andrew for receiving praise postcards from a very proud Crew leader. Who will it be next week I wonder? Watch this space.

I am so proud of Crew Rosa Parks. They have adapted so well to all the changes that have recently taken place. Working from home can be challenging but Crew have blown me away with their work ethic. Fabulous! Keep it up.

Yesterday we had our first Google hangout, it was lovely to see and hear everyone. It was great to hear the enthusiasm and laughter. I am glad it was such a success that we have agreed to have two video check ins per week. Every Monday and every Friday. 100% participation would be great and is expected. Our check in yesterday was …….if Monday was a colour what colour would it be? A range of colours came out but they were predominately dark. I wonder why??

Crew have been great with our check in doc too. It is sent out on a daily basis.

Again, I am saying well done Crew Rosa Parks. I am very proud. Just a quick reminder If Crew or Parents/Carers have any questions or need to contact me, send me an email and I will get in touch.

Stay well, stay safe and wash your hands!!
