The children have worked hard to support each other through their first PE session as Crew Godley.
We have practiced our under and over arm throwing, batting and fielding skills and have really developed our communication skills and tried to build on our new relationships .
We are looking forward to continuing these relationships as Crew Godley.
What a great start to our new Year 3/4 classes. After a bit of settling in, we have been able to complete some Crew building activities. We built spaghetti and marshmallow towers – the aim was to build the highest structure we could with the same amount of items. This has helped us feel more comfortable with each other!
Throughout the week, so far, we have also been looking at the book Small Things. We have been having many discussions about feelings and worries, in order to help settle us. These interesting discussions have been a fantastic way of getting to know our new Crews and how we can help them feel better when they aren’t quite feeling themselves!
Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the week, where we will share our sketches of London monuments. This is preparing us for our new Expedition in Autumn! 👀👀
Blue team had a fantastic sports day this afternoon! I was so impressed with the listening, respect and kindness that each and every member showed! The icing on the cake has to be their big smiles when they found out they had won! Amazing work everyone 🙌🏻
Crew Godley have been working extremely hard to improve their attendance and the number of lates we have in our crew. One of the ways we have done this is through our attendance HoWLopoly. If we’re at school 💯 we’re able to work hard and get smart 🙌🏼 Last week we achieved all of our goals and spun a PJ day on our HoWLopoly. I’m sure the children will have told you this, this is a gentle reminder that it is taking place tomorrow.
Carcroft was lucky to have a visit from the second fastest man in Britain – James Dasaolu. We were lucky to hear about the journey James took to reach the top of his sport and even compete at two Olympic Games.
James was very inspiring as he spoke about his lows and how it motivated him to reach the highs, which led to him setting the second fastest time in British history for the 100m. He ran a staggering 9.91 seconds, which was the equivalent of 25mph.
The children listened amazingly well and were hanging on James’ every word. They loved asking a variety of questions and some were unique, which James had never been asked before. After the the questions, each year group was lucky to have a circuit training session with James. He definitely put Years 1 to 6 through their paces.
We will be handing out the gold, silver and bronze awards when we receive them in due course. This should be soon.
What an extraordinary day we’ve had today in Crew! We were so lucky to have met James Dasaolu! James is a British sprinttrack and field athlete who specialises in the 100 metres, over which distance he is the 2014 European champion 🏃♂️🏃♂️
In July 2013, he became the second fastest Briton of all time after running a 100 m time of 9.91 seconds in the British Championships. In 2014 he won his first major title, claiming the gold medal in the 100 metres at the 2014 European Athletics Championships.
James put us through our paces and spotted some sporting heroes.
Well done done Keira-Leigh and Stevie for raising so much money through their sponsorship.
The whole school had an assembly with James this afternoon, and now each crew will participate in a physical activity with James! Such an inspiration to our young athletes in the making.
