Children in Need
Crew Godley Takes on the Children in Need 26 Challenge! 🐻💛
Crew Godley got moving for BBC Children in Need as we took on our very own 26 Challenge!
To complete our challenge, we hopped on our scooters and whizzed our way around the school halls, completing an amazing 26 laps! There was plenty of excitement along the way, and we even had the opportunity to show off some fantastic scooter tricks!
We had lots of fun, plenty of laughs and, most importantly, worked together to support a brilliant cause.
We are incredibly proud of Crew Godley for showing such enthusiasm, teamwork and compassion. What a fantastic way to put our Character Traits into action!
26 laps, lots of tricks and one brilliant cause! 💛

It was lovely to see our Carcroft community come together to support such an important cause. Every donation, big or small, will help make a difference to children’s lives.
We are incredibly proud of our children, families and staff for showing such compassion and kindness.

Remembrance day
So proud of my crew today! ❤️
They all sat so beautifully and took part in the 2-minute silence to show their respect and remember all those who lost their lives protecting our country. 🌺
We have been busy creating our own poppy displays, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve made together.
A lovely moment of remembrance, respect and reflection. ❤️
Lest we forget. 🌺
Remembrance Day Poppies
As part of our crew session we discussed the reasons we have Remembrance Day and 2 minutes silence. We then all made our own poppies to help us remember the brave soldiers who have given their lives for us.
Inclusive Playgrounds
As part of our expedition we have become designers and have been thinking about how we can ensure play is inclusive for all children.
We have talked lots about how playground equipment can be adapted to those with physical disabilities.
We have then started planning our own inclusive playgrounds which we will turn into 3d models over the next few weeks.
