Boules

Today in pe the children played a game of boules where first they rolled the white ball and then they had 3 coloured balls each . The person who rolled their ball closest to the white ball wins.

Well done, Emily!

A big congratulations to Emily for being awarded Dancer of the Week at her out-of-school dance class — we are so proud of you!

This achievement is a wonderful reflection of your hard work and dedication. It’s clear that your effort and passion for dance are shining through, and this recognition is truly deserved.

Keep up the amazing work, Emily. We can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

Mothers Day🌷

This week, our crew enjoyed getting creative by making Shrinky Dinks Mother’s Day key rings. The children wrote a thoughtful handwritten message for their lovely mum.

After writing their designs, we placed the shrink plastic in the oven. The children were amazed with the transformation and were excited to turn their designs into finished gifts.

Once cooled, we added key rings so the children could take home their unique creations ready for Mother’s Day. We hope you like them! 🥰

Dodgeball Tournament Success

A huge well done to our Year 3 and 4 pupils from. who recently took part in an exciting dodgeball tournament against other local schools. The children showed fantastic crew work, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the event.

After a series of great matches, our team proudly finished 2nd place out of 10 schools! This is a brilliant achievement and everyone represented the school incredibly well. We are very proud of their effort, enthusiasm, and positive attitude during the tournament.

Crew at the Park

Crew Godley enjoyed a visit to the local park where they took part in a range of fun crew-building activities. The children worked together to complete different challenges, showing great teamwork, communication, and encouragement towards one another. Crew Godley represented the school brilliantly and had a wonderful time learning and having fun together.
