In strange times, it’s good to have some normality. For Crew JNI that has meant regularly checking-in with each other and sharing our experiences of the past 2 weeks.
There have been some brilliant activities going on! There’s been lots of trampolining, football, cycling and other sports, which is fantastic to hear. It’s good to know that so many of you have been getting involved during the Joe Wicks sessions each morning too (and managing to avoid ripping your trousers, unlike Mr Nixon!)
We’ve also been making more time for creative activities too. Ava produced a brilliant puzzle book for her younger cousin to help entertain her during these coming weeks. Maddie and Lydia have both written some great nonsense poetry (strange times calls for even stranger literary creations), and Charlotte has been doing some craft work with her mum. Lola has been out in the garden restoring an old bench, and helping her mum with some gardening too, and Oscar was super excited to share his creative venture with us, as he has decided to take a completely new direction in terms of his style and shaved his head!
And beyond this, there have even been some scientific experiments and investigations! Kira and her mum investigated plants and flowers, dissecting them to look at their biological makeup, making great notes — it looks just like Charles Darwin’s notebooks on flora and fauna. Kira didn’t stop there though: she did some experiments that looked at surface tension, and produced some stunning images!
Today’s crew finished with us setting some personal goals, and we’ll be checking-in with those next week.
All in all it has been a great few weeks for Crew JNI. Keep up the great work everyone!!
(Crew JNI has a google hangout every Friday at 2pm, where all students in Crew JNI should attend to make sure they are keeping on top of work and keeping up with all the goings on of crew).
