M + M Productions Visit Our School
On Friday, we were delighted to welcome M + M Productions to our school to perform the classic story The Railway Children.
The performance was fantastic, and the whole school thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors brought the story to life and encouraged lots of audience participation. Our Hub children especially loved getting involved, singing, dancing, and joining in with the fun.
Thank you to M + M Productions for such an enjoyable and memorable experience!
KS1 Visiting Chicks

A big thank you to everyone in Crew Godley for making the visit so enjoyable and memorable. The children returned to their classroom full of excitement.

KS1 Enjoys a Football-Themed Lunch!
Today, our KS1 children enjoyed a fantastic football-themed lunch as we celebrated England’s first game taking place tonight!
The dining hall was filled with excitement as pupils tucked into a special menu inspired by the beautiful game. Football anthems played throughout lunchtime, creating a fun and lively atmosphere, and many of the children couldn’t resist getting up for a dance with their friends. There was lots of singing, smiling and excitement as everyone got into the football spirit.
It was wonderful to see so many happy faces enjoying the occasion together. We hope everyone enjoys watching the match tonight and joins us in cheering on England.
Come on England!
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.
Caterpillars
After half term, we had a very special delivery in the Hub – caterpillars came to stay with us! The children were excited to observe them and we spent time talking about how small they were when they first arrived. We discussed what might happen next and wondered how big they would grow.
To support our learning, we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explored the life cycle of a butterfly, learning about each stage from caterpillar to chrysalis and finally to butterfly.
It has now been two weeks since the caterpillars arrived, and we have been fascinated by the changes taking place. They have recently started to form their chrysalises, which has been very exciting to observe. Keep a look out for our butterfly blog! 🦋
