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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
During Safer Internet Day, Crew Godley became digital detectives as we worked with Natterhub to explore how our data is used online. We learned that every time we go online, we leave a digital footprint and that our information can be collected, shared, and sometimes used in ways we might not expect. Through discussions and activities, we discovered why it’s important to keep personal information private, think carefully before we click, and make safe, responsible choices on the internet. Crew Godley showed fantastic maturity as we built our understanding of how to stay smart, safe, and secure online.
In Crew Godley, we are learning how to recognise our own feelings in the moment and understand how others might be feeling too. In our Crew session today, we explored different everyday scenarios and decided which ones made us feel happiest and which made us feel least happy. We challenged ourselves to explain why we felt this way.
By sharing our reasons, we discovered that everyone can feel differently about the same situation and that all feelings are important, building empathy.
Santa joined Crews today to walk to the North Pole – the miles are quickly adding up! We’ve already walked an incredible 407 miles!
This week our pupils are taking on an exciting and ambitious challenge: walking the distance to the North Pole to raise funds for our school. Step by step, mile by mile, the children are working together to reach their goal – showing resilience, teamwork, and incredible determination along the way.
We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm and commitment – even in the glorious British weather! Thank you to everyone who has supported the challenge so far. Together, we’re proving that no distance is too far when we’re walking with purpose!
This morning we have launched character traits in Crew Robson.
We have taken part in discussions, worked in groups and really taken the time to understand ourselves and which character traits resonate with us the most.
