We have had a busy week in Crew Godley!

Highlights of the Week:

Maths: We have been exploring patterns this week, we have made patterns with so many things! Numicon, ourselves, sounds and even fruit! The fruit kebabs went down a treat, we used fruit from the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛 ‘. It was so tasty and whilst we developed our maths skills it also provided us with an opportunity to develop our fine motor skills. We had to chop the fruit in half whilst also carefully placing on the skewer. It became a little tricky at times 🦋

Writing: We have been using our writing lessons to inform our expedition work, exploring the text, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This has developed our understanding of the life cycle of a butterfly. We have used the ‘notice lense’ to write a fact file about the butterfly. We can’t wait to see our caterpillars spin their cocoons.

Howl Average:

We have ended the week on a very disappointing 2.8. Unfortunately some of our crew have found it difficult to show kindness to their peers. We have had a significant amount of apologies and pledges this week and I hope to see a big improvement next week.

As we come into our final week of the half term we really need to think about how we can demonstrate our HoWLs at all times of the day. We need to see our scores back in the 3’s for all crew members.

Have a lovely weekend everyone 😊

Check out all of the exciting things we’ve been exploring in Early Years this week 🐄 🐑

We’ve had a fantastic week in Crew Godley this week! Our expeditionary learning has been so exciting! We began with our gallery of photos from when we were babies. The children were so amazed to see themselves so small 👶🏻


We’ve been writing facts about animals to tell Farmer Ian all about the animals he could have on his farm if he wished to. We’ve worked so hard to demonstrate green standard by using our phonics to help spell those tricky words, finger spaces and full stops.

We’ve given out lots of Howls throughout the week for children who are demonstrating their ability to work hard, get smart and be kind. I wonder who will be our HoWL heroes next week 🦸‍♂️

I would like to praise SJ who has worked incredibly hard on his learning behaviours this week. I am absolutely delighted with his maturity and resilience even when things get a little tricky.

We have worked hard on our praises, pledges, notices and wonders this week in crew and I can’t wait to see more children sharing with each other in crew next week 💜

Howl Average: 3.6

We’ve definitely had the Friday Feeling today, so enjoy the long weekend Crew Godley and I will see you all bright and early on Tuesday morning 🙂

Take a look at all the exciting things we’ve been getting up to this week 🦆 🐄 🐴 🐑

Another busy and happy day in Crew, such a positive start to Summer term. The children have settled quickly back into school life ❤️

We spent most of our day outside today enjoying the fresh air. We used lots of equipment and our imaginations to build dens! It was so much fun and we found lots of things to do in them like using pots and pans to make music!

We made loud sounds to keep the Wicked Witch if the West at bay 🧙‍♀️ and quiet sounds so we didn’t scare Toto 🐶

HoWL hero: Today’s HoWL hero was Reggie for working hard. Reggie worked hard to show green standard today. I’m so proud of him ❤️

It was so lovely to have our crew back together today! 

Highlight of the day: We started off our new term with crew building in PE. We worked as a great team to ensure we put all of the fruit into our yummy fruit salad. We helped each other to complete the tasks and cheered each other on to show their support!

HoWL Hero: Today’s HoWL hero was Shelby for being kind. Shelby showed real maturity outside when sharing resources and worked together with her peers.
