Crew Godley had a fantastic time with Mick developing our crew building skills. We had to listen, collaborate and show resilience. It was tricky at times but we worked together to achieve the end goals.

Fire safety 🔥
Today we have learnt how to be safe around fire. The main thing we learnt and practised was being able to stop, drop and roll if any items of clothing caught fire.
Citizenship crew in MI
Today we discussed the attributes that make a good team. We thought about any teams we admire then thought about the attributes of these teams. ‘Together everyone achieves more’ We thought about what this means in a variety of situations. We discussed any good teams we already know and what actually makes a good team. From here we thought about our crew and how we are also a small team. We worked in mini crews to discuss which attributes make a good team and what we need to be part of crew MI. We then shared these with the whole crew. Some great discussions MI 🙂
Blind mice challenge crew in MI
Today we tested our listening, team work and problem solving skills! MI took part in an obstacle course where they worked in pairs. One team member completed the obstacle course whilst their partner gave them verbal instructions. There was however one catch, the person completing the course was wearing a blind fold! MI what a great job you did 🙂
Cook stars 🧑🏼🍳
Carcroft have loved having our cooking club in today, everyone loved making their Welshrarebit muffins. I loved seeing everyone working as a team and helping each other. Well done!
How does what I do, impact others?
KS1 strengthened their crews last week by having a real focus on Crew, what does it mean to us and the wider community. Our guiding questions were, ‘How does what I do, impact others?’ and ‘Does crew stop at the school gates?’. With this in mind you’ll have noticed in our blogs last week that we delivered books and kindness stones to the local community to show kindness and care. Well…….. we were so excited to see that some of these have been found and brought joy to other children outside of our school community. The children were so excited to see this in morning crew today 😊
Trip to Langsett Reservoir
Year 5 and 6 had a great trip to Langsett Reservoir to begin to establish a strong crew where the children can be themselves and develop their teamwork skills in a caring and safe environment. We worked together to answer our crew guiding question was ‘How can we get everyone to the top of the mountain?‘ The answer was simple… work together, support one another, enjoy exploring, share the load and plenty of chocolate biscuits. We had a fantastic day (even the sun came out) and it was a pleasure to see the children enjoying themselves and truly becoming a crew that we know that will go from strength to strength as the year progresses… watch this space. Well done everyone!
Welcome back to the new MI
We have all been busy today developing our new crew. We have taken part in lots of team building and communication activities which have allowed us to work together effectively. We really enjoyed building a marshmallow tower, seeing who could construct the tallest tower. We also played railroad tracks where Mrs McClare called out different opposites and we had to decide which we preferred! We also used balloons and slips of paper to get to know each other a little better. We all wrote a question on our slip of paper then placed it inside our balloon before blowing it up. We then circled up, taking it in turns to pop our balloons and read out the question inside. We all shared our answers.
We also started our art work on printing. We discussed lots of things about ourselves then used this in our art work to create a picture that represents us. We created a key where different shapes represented different things about ourselves. We then printed our shapes using different colours and we also tried to layer our shapes in different ways.
Y6 leavers performance
What an incredible day Monday was! Y6 performed their leavers performance to the school during the morning then to their parents, carers and friends in the afternoon. What an incredible performance this was where children were able to showcase the wide range of talent they hold. We are so proud of everyone and you blew us away with an outstanding show. Well done Y6 and thank you to everyone who came and supported the event.
Singing for worship
Today in RE, we have been looking at the importance of singing for the Christian faith. We’ve enjoyed discussing the different ranges of music depending on the church. We’ve been very lucky to have Izzy as our expert who has shared lots about her church.
