We have been enjoying the sunshine (when it appears!) in EYFS recently.
Enjoying the sunshine!

Inflatable Fun
Transition Day fun!
What a lovely day we’ve had in Crew Godley, we’ve shown off our talents in arithmetic and expedition followed by lots of Crew building challenges. We’ve developed our resilience and collaboration skills whilst competing with each other to make a variety of items including a boat that had to float and a turtle with a shell. It was all great fun!
We also created our own crew signs to create a montage – we’ll continue with these into the new year.
Carcroft Colour Run
We all had an absolute blast at our first ever colour fun. Thank you so much to everyone who joined it and made it such an amazing event. We will definitely be doing it again next year!!
KS1 Sports Day 2024 – Yellow Group
Although the sun wasn’t shining, yellow team oozed with warmth! Myself and Miss Burge were so proud of our team! From the youngest members who had not completed a sports day of this length to the oldest members who supported and encouraged them! We really did showcase the meaning of Crew!
EYFS/KS1 Crew Blue sporting champions!
Well done to Crew Blue for working collaboratively to gain as many points as possible to win sports day! We worked well as a crew and everyone tried their best, it was a pleasure to see the children have so much fun! Well done everyone!
Building fires in Scotty’s
Crew Godley had so much fun at Scotty’s today! We were taught all about the triangle of requirements for a successful fire heat, oxygen and fuel. He then showed us how to build our own fire pit and how to use a cotton wool ball and a flint to generate a fire. We were all so excited to develop our skills whilst also keeping safe. We then used the skills he taught us to add sticks to the flame to begin building the fire. We can’t wait to build upon our skills next week to see if we can keep it going for longer and build it even bigger.
Do you brush your teeth?
This week in Crew we have been exploring the importance of brushing our teeth, daily. We explored the effects of different drinks on our teeth by using eggs, the shell is similar to our tooth enamel. We placed an egg in water, dilute juice and a fizzy drink. We were shocked to see how the dilute juice impacted the egg shell, causing it to dissolve. This reiterated how important to brush our teeth twice a day, before bed and in the morning. It was fascinating to watch how the shells dissolved and made some really strange formations after just leaving it in the liquid for a day. Imagine not brushing your teeth for a day!
Scottie’s Heroes
This week in Scottie’s was such a challenge! We worked hard to be observant without using our voices. We worked as a team to patrol our forest school, to look for unknown items, which many were camouflaged. It was tricky to start with however once we started looking beyond the bright coloured objects it became much easier. Charlie was our work hard hero this week.
Water Safety
Today, we were very lucky to be part of a live talk with Yorkshire Water about the importance of being safe near water. It was really interesting to listen to some of the hidden dangers around open water. The main messages were to stay away from the edge and ensuring that we don’t try to go in after someone who is having difficulty. It’s important that we call for help and don’t put ourselves into danger. We ended the call with a quiz, safe to say we had all discovered so much and scored full marks! We then continued our work by spotting hidden dangers and creating water safety posters to share with our grown ups.
