Planting for the Future 

Our pupils have been getting their hands muddy as part of our Woodland Trust tree-planting project! Together, we planted a range of native trees to help create new habitats for wildlife and make our school grounds greener for everyone to enjoy. This hands-on experience taught the children about caring for the environment and the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. We’re proud to be doing our part to help the UK grow more trees and tackle climate change, one sapling at a time!

Crew Godley Marks Remembrance

Today, Crew Godley took time to reflect and remember those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict. Through thoughtful discussions, art, and a special remembrance activity, the children explored the importance of respect, gratitude, and community. Our crew showed great empathy and understanding as they considered the significance of Remembrance Day, ensuring that the bravery and dedication of others are honoured and never forgotten.

Anti-Bullying Week – Make a Noise About Bullying!

Today marked the start of Anti-Bullying Week, exploring how we can all play a part in making school a kind, safe and respectful place for everyone.

Across the school, pupils have been learning what bullying means, how it can make people feel, and most importantly, how we can stand up for others and celebrate our differences.

In our crew we have designed anti-bullying posters to spread positive messages about friendship, kindness, and speaking up when something isn’t right. Together, we’re proud to make a noise about bullying and show that our school is a place where everyone belongs.

Year 3/4 football tournament

Today 5 pupils from both year 3 and year 4 headed out for the afternoon to compete in a football tournament. They were one of 10 teams, unfortunately we didn’t place in the top 3 but I was so impressed with the children’s efforts, resilience and sportsmanship. Out of the 10 teams, which was over 100 children in total, one of our year 4 pupils was given a medal for his stand out sportsmanship. We were all so proud of him, what a great achievement! Here’s a few photos to showcase our fantastic afternoon!

Being Kind in Crew

Today in Crew, we beautifully demonstrated our Be Kind HoWL. We took time to share what we appreciate about each other and celebrate what makes every member of our Crew special. Sharni-Mae even suggested choosing our HoWL heroes at the end of the day and writing them postcards to praise their kindness. It was lovely to hear Crew members speaking so thoughtfully and kindly about one another.

The role of a nurse in Crew Ramsay

In today’s expedition lesson, the children spoke about the role of a nurse to which they were shocked a nurse can be either male or female as many of them thought all nurses were female. The children were given scenarios and used their acting skills alongside a few props to recreate the scenario with their partner. Lots of discussions were happening alongside lots of great acting!

Roald Dahl Day

Crew Ramsay have been working in mini crews on their tables, carefully using fine motor skills to create a green paper chain to resemble a crocodile from the linked text “The Enormous Crocodile”. They challenged themselves to see who could create the longest one. Table 2 came out in first place, however, in true crew style we decided to make one enormous crocodile by adding everyone’s together and created a “crew crocodile”.
