First Week Back in CrewRobson
What an amazing first week back we have had; I have been so impressed with the resilience and maturity of everyone and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together this year.
Here are just a few of our highlights!

Crew Godley – Filling Our Crew Buckets!
Crew Godley have been exploring the wonderful text this week, Have You Filled Your Bucket Today? and thinking carefully about what it means to show compassion towards others.
We have been learning that our words and actions can have a big impact on how people feel. Just like filling someone’s bucket can help them feel happy, valued and cared for, small acts of kindness can make a huge difference to the people around us.
As a Crew, we have been challenging ourselves to become bucket fillers! We have thought about how we can show compassion through kind words, helping others, including people, listening carefully and noticing when someone might need a little support.
Our challenge now is to keep looking for opportunities to fill the buckets of others and make Crew Godley a place where everyone feels valued, cared for and included.
Our FWB so far in Crew Godley
What a fantastic start to the new school year for Crew Godley! We are truly embracing our first week back, working together to build a strong Crew and lay the foundations for a successful year ahead.
We have begun exploring our Character Traits of Compassion and Respect, thinking about how we can put these values into action and create beautiful work in service of others and our school community.
Our first act of service was giving some much-needed love and attention to our Quad, which had been feeling the effects of the recent dry weather. We worked together to care for our shared space and make it a welcoming environment for everyone.
Getting to know one another has been another important part of our first week. We worked together with a parachute challenge, learning each other’s likes and dislikes, whilst trying to keep a ball moving on the parachute. It certainly tested our teamwork, communication and perseverance!
Today, we created Kindness Stones, linking beautifully to our Character Trait of Compassion. These stones will be hidden around our school grounds for some lucky Carcroft Crew members to discover. We hope that finding a little message of kindness will brighten someone’s day!
It has been a brilliant first couple of days for Crew Godley. We are already showing compassion, respect, teamwork and courage, and we can’t wait to see what we can achieve together this year.
A Soaking Success!
Our recent Water Fight was a huge success and a fantastic way to celebrate together as a school community. Crew had a brilliant time cooling off, working in teams, and enjoying some friendly competition. The event was filled with laughter, energy, and plenty of soaked smiles!
Celebrating the World Cup 2026 with a Penalty Shoot Out
With cheers from their crew mates and plenty of team spirit, the children stepped up to the spot and showed great confidence, determination, and skill. From powerful strikes to carefully placed shots, everyone embraced the challenge and gave it their all.
The event was a fantastic way to celebrate the global excitement of the World Cup while encouraging teamwork, resilience, and, most importantly, fun. We are incredibly proud of all the children for their enthusiasm and sportsmanship – it was a winning day for everyone involved!
From Cocoon to Courage: Embracing Change
Today, Crew Godley explored the idea of stepping out of comfort zones through the concept of molting in a caterpillar’s life cycle. Just as a caterpillar must shed its old skin to grow, moving from primary to secondary school requires leaving behind familiar routines. We reflected on the benefits and challenges of staying within boundaries and discussed how growth can feel uncomfortable but necessary. Through a drama-based activity, we represented the process of breaking through limits before finishing with a reflection on how kindness and support from our crew can help us feel safe during times of change.
Water Safety with Yorkshire Water
Today we took part in a water safety live lesson hosted by Yorkshire Water.
We learnt about the dangers of open water and staying SAFE (stay away from the edge)!
Embracing Change: From Chrysalis to Secondary School
Today, Crew Godley explored the concept of transformation through the chrysalis stage of a butterfly’s life cycle. We learned that, although a chrysalis appears still on the outside, significant internal change is taking place. We linked this idea to their own transition to secondary school.
We discussed how change is not always visible and that feeling unsettled or unsure is a normal part of growth. We then sorted visible changes and internal feelings associated with moving to a new school, before reflecting on the positive habits they want to develop as they prepare for this next stage.
Wings of Change: Navigating our next chapter…
Today, in our expedition lesson, Crew Godley explored the connection between the butterfly life cycle and the emotions we experience when starting something new. Using the example of a fragile butterfly egg, they learned that the early stages of growth require the right support and can feel uncertain. They reflected on their own experiences of transition, such as starting a new school year, and discussed how different emotions, like excitement and anxiety, can exist at the same time. Through a collaborative activity, we sorted and discussed emotions before finishing with a short reflection to build their self-awareness and understanding of change.
