Terrific Teeth

13th January 2025Laura Godley

Crew Godley have had a fantastic week exploring their teeth. We began our learning by looking at the different types of teeth we have and their purposes. We explored our mouths with a mirror where we looked at the different teeth we have.

We then created moulds of our teeth so we could compare where we all were we in our journey. Some of us had lost baby teeth whilst others were still waiting too.

We then moved onto setting up our teeth investigation where we will explore the impact different liquids have on our teeth. We created our own question and hypothesis then thought about our variables. We listed all the equipment we would use then created our method.

We then explored the best ways to look after our teeth. We watched a video clip all about healthy teeth and visiting the dentist. We looked at how we should be brushing our teeth and even had a go at this!

Finally, we’ve created our own posters to promote keeping our teeth healthy.

Caring Crew

This week in Crew we have been exploring how to keep mentally as well as physically healthy. We explored the term mental health and how we can support this by using different strategies to overcome big feelings. One way we explored today was competing some seated yoga. It was a lot tricker than it looked!

Showing Kindness

9th January 2025Laura Godley

With it being our first week back after the Christmas holidays, we have had lots of crew challenges to continue to develop our Be Kind HoWL. We particularly enjoyed the Jelly Baby challenge where we were challenged to look after our Jelly Baby, all day, without eating it! Some of the crew made it a safe space to ensure it was well looked after. Fortunately, five out of the six Jelly Babies survived, with Declan’s still going strong two days later!

Wow! What a performance!

It was pleasure to be able to watch the Cheerleading and Acro performance on Thursday afternoon. The children from KS1 and KS2 performed the dances they have been learning during this term in lunchtime clubs.

The performance oozed confidence and the high quality learning that has taken place during these clubs. It was great to see children from previous years perform but also lots of new faces. A massive well done to all involved. They should be very proud of themselves.

Showing Resilience in Handwriting

Crew Godley have been determined to get their letter formation right! We have been practising so hard to form our letters correctly – we have so much remember! Our pencil grip, starting at the correct points and forming our letters within the correct lines. Our dough disco always helps warm up our fingers and today we can see a big improvement when forming our letters in a word rather than solitary.

We then played a game where we had to listen to our crew mates describing a letter by its formation, a letter ‘Guess Who’, we had to show we’d listened and formed the letter correctly to get a point. It was very tricky at times! Sharni-Mae loved tricking her crew mates!

Road Safety

18th November 2024Laura Godley

In crew today we explored the importance of Road safety and how to keep safe whilst out and about. We looked at local hotspot areas for road traffic collisions and why these might have occurred. We watched a video and spotted the hidden dangers, like walking whilst looking on your phone and crossing the road in front in front of vehicles.
