Can you drop an egg without breaking it?

17th September 2024Laura Godley

This weeks challenge was to create a structure to keep an egg safe when it was dropped from a given height. We had to think carefully about the materials we choose to ensure our egg remained in one piece. There were some wonderful creations, children thought about several factors which would determine their success including how to slow down the speed of the fall, would the base provide enough padding and which materials would be suitable to ensure a safe fall. It was a great success and only one egg had a minor crack! We can’t wait to see what our next challenge has in store for us!

What do we do when we face a challenge?

5th September 2024Laura Godley

Today in PE we developed our teamwork skills, collaborating and communicating. This was key for the tricky challenges we had to complete as a crew. Our first challenge was to ‘cross the river’. The objective was to move across the river, however, we were only allowed to stand inside the hoops without touching the rest of the space on the floor. We could only move the hoops with our hands. It took a lot of communication and resilience!

Our second challenge, the spiders web! This involved a lot of planning and problem solving skills. We could only pass through each segment once, we had to explore how each crew mate could pass through each section without touching the web. I was so proud of the teamwork and resilience we displayed to achieve our goals.

Citizenship Crew

3rd September 2024Laura Godley

Today we started to think about changes and how they make us feel, exploring how the new school year had made us feel. We thought about what we are looking forward to this year and some of the challenges we may face. We talked about the importance of a positive mindset. We then thought about the word resilience, what this is and how we can show we are resilient in everything we do. We then worked together to create an anchor chart to help us remain possible and resilient in our everyday lives.

Transition Day fun!

9th July 2024Laura Godley

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.

5th July 2024Natasha Holdsworth

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!

Building fires in Scotty’s

3rd July 2024Laura Godley

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.
