Red Nose Day

This week, we have been baking and decorating some cupcakes for Red Nose Day, and while doing this, we had discussions around fundraising and how baking and selling was one of the many ways we could raise money. We used visuals and videos to explain what Comic Relief is, and the children completed tasks based on money and feelings.

Mother’s Day

Last week the children created beautiful Mother’s Day cards using their own handprints to form bright, blooming flowers, each one as unique as the child who made it. They also explored paint blowing, carefully guiding colours across the page to create some unique shapes. As they worked, we spoke about the special people in their lives—mums, grandmothers, and other loved ones. Showing off there progress with writing inside the cards themselves.

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!

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.

Fun in the Sun

The children have really enjoyed using the new equipment in the EYFS provision. They explored many of the areas outside but the favourites had to be the slide, mud kitchen and using the exciting equipment in the water area. The children worked together to fill tubes and showed great team work and resilience when things didn’t quite go to plan! What a great morning they had 🙂

The Triangle of Risk

Today in Crew Godley we have begun to explore staying safe on the road, this is everyone’s job! By using the ‘Triangle of Risk’ we have discovered that road safety has three important parts – the road, the vehicle, and the person.

  • The Road – Is it wet or dry? Busy or quiet? Are there signs and crossings to help us stay safe?
  • The Vehicle – Is it working properly? Are seatbelts on? Are bikes and scooters in good condition?
  • The Person – Are we paying attention? Wearing a helmet? Following the rules and making safe choices?

We explored these three sides to see how their actions matter. Even small safe choices – like looking both ways, wearing a helmet and putting your phone away!

Scooter Fun!

We’ve been making the most of the beautiful spring sunshine by heading outdoors to develop our scooter skills! The children have been practising their balance, co-ordination and control as they weave, glide and steer with growing confidence. It’s been wonderful to see their determination, teamwork and big smiles as they challenge themselves and cheer each other on.

Exploring Positive Mental Health in Crew

Crew Godley have focused on positive mental health this morning in crew as we got moving with a fantastic workout inspired by Joe Wicks! We learned how exercise helps to boost our mood, increase our energy, and keep our minds healthy as well as our bodies. As we jumped, stretched, and powered through our workout, we could feel the difference movement makes, releasing feel-good endorphins and helping us feel calm, focused, and happy. We talked about how staying active is a great tool we can use whenever we need a lift. Crew Godley showed brilliant enthusiasm, resilience, and teamwork as we worked out our bodies and strengthened our minds!
