We had so much fun getting wet and muddy this morning!
Tough Mudder
Tough Mudder- Crew Colclough
Crew Colclough had an absolutely fantastic time completing the Tough Mudder this morning! Everyone showed incredible courage, tackling every muddy obstacle with a massive smile and an unstoppable attitude. It wasn’t just about crossing the finish line; it was about the way the crew stuck together, cheered each other on, and refused to let the mud slow them down. We are so incredibly proud of their resilience, teamwork, and grit. Massive congratulations to the whole crew—you absolutely smashed it!
Tough Runner 2026
CrewRobson loved taking part in Tough Runner this morning.
It was lovely to see everyone challenging themselves and showing courage and resilience.
Well done Crew!
Recognising Our Crew Mates
After taking on our climbing apparatus challenge, Crew White took time to recognise the people who had helped them along the way.
Each child was given a mountain coin to award to a Crew mate who had genuinely supported them during the challenge. The important rule was that this wasn’t about choosing our friends. Instead, children reflected on who had encouraged them, helped them overcome a fear, offered advice or simply stayed alongside them when something felt difficult.
It was a lovely opportunity to notice the small acts of support that make a big difference and reinforce an important message for our year ahead:
How can we help everyone reach the top of the mountain? Just ask Crew White! 🏔️
First Week Back in CrewRobson

Crew Godley – Filling Our Crew Buckets!
Crew Godley have been exploring the wonderful text this week, Have You Filled Your Bucket Today? and thinking carefully about what it means to show compassion towards others.
We have been learning that our words and actions can have a big impact on how people feel. Just like filling someone’s bucket can help them feel happy, valued and cared for, small acts of kindness can make a huge difference to the people around us.
As a Crew, we have been challenging ourselves to become bucket fillers! We have thought about how we can show compassion through kind words, helping others, including people, listening carefully and noticing when someone might need a little support.
Our challenge now is to keep looking for opportunities to fill the buckets of others and make Crew Godley a place where everyone feels valued, cared for and included.
Year 4 Trip to Austerfield
Year 4 kicked off the new academic year with an exciting trip to Austerfield! In Crew this week, our guiding question has been, “How do we work as a team to achieve an end goal?”—and our time at Austerfield really challenged us to dig deep and find the answer. Through a mix of orienteering challenges and team-building games, the children showed incredible determination and collaboration. As a well-deserved reward for all their hard work, they even got to meet some of the amazing animals that reside at the center! It was a fantastic day of growth, teamwork, and fun.
Learning about our Be Kind HOWL
This week in Crew Nursery, we have been learning all about our Be Kind HOWL. We have looked at sharing, helping each other, how a smile can cheer our crew up, and how to put our hand up when we want to share our ideas. We’re working really hard to show our Be Kind HOWL!
🎨 Exploring Watercolours
Crew White have been developing their artistic skills by exploring watercolour techniques. We experimented with controlling the amount of water and paint on our brushes, creating washes, blending colours and building different tones.
We also discussed how to use watercolours carefully and appropriately, including looking after our brushes, keeping colours clean and using just the right amount of water.
A calm, creative session with some fantastic results! 🎨
Crew Challenge!
We have been undertaking various crew challenges this week to really pull together as a Crew. Here we are using stepping stones to cross a lava and ice river. We worked together to pass the steps along our line and step carefully, holding each other up all the way! We also Great work, Crew Ramsay!
