XP Outdoors – Den Building
Crew Godley took their learning outdoors for an exciting den-building challenge! Working together, we used natural and recycled materials to design and construct our own shelter.
We had to communicate, share ideas, solve problems and support one another as we worked as a crew. We thought carefully about how to make our den strong, stable and weatherproof, testing our ideas and making improvements along the way.
This challenge encouraged us to demonstrate our HoWLs and Character Traits, particularly compassion, courage and craftsmanship. We discovered that successful crew work isn’t about one person doing all the work – it is about listening to each other, sharing responsibility and helping everyone to contribute.
Most importantly, we had fun learning outside, getting creative and challenging ourselves together!
Year 4 Football skills.
Year 4 put in fantastic effort during PE today, practicing their football control and dribbling skills.

Place Value in Crew MI

We have used the concrete resources to support us with our learning and have played some great maths games along the way. Keep this great up as work up to millions next week!
Pre-writing skills practice in Crew McGlone ✍🏼
We have been working on our pre-writing skills in Crew McGlone this week. We started by looking at how we need the correct posture when sitting at our tables to show we are ready to write before then moving on to look at using ‘pinch parrot’ to help us with the correct pencil grip. We talked about how when we are writing we start on the left and move to the right, starting at the top of the paper before moving our way down.
We used our new knowledge to have a go at tracing over lines and different patterns to practise these skills.
Gingerbread Man
In writing, the children have been learning all about The Gingerbread Man. Throughout the week, they have been busy making their own gingerbread men, creating a large gingerbread man and even making the fox!
Take a peep at what they have been up to this week and see all the wonderful learning they have been enjoying!
