Our KS1 children had a wonderful experience during their recent visit to see the chicks. The children were excited to have the opportunity to hold a young chick.
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.
On Thursday 25th June, join our Crew at XP Doncaster for a joyful celebration of creativity. Expect live music, powerful performances, and the beautiful work that defines our students. Grab your free tickets today!
The children thoroughly enjoyed making cheese quesadillas during Life Skills today and were so enthusiastic about the activity that many asked for more. They practised their food preparation skills by cutting a tortilla wrap in half, adding grated cheese, and folding it over before it was carefully fried for a few minutes on each side. The children were engaged throughout the process and enjoyed tasting their finished quesadillas.
In expedition, we were identifying how animals change as they grow, including us! Thank you to everyone who was able to bring their baby pictures in and share them with the class – including teachers! We had lots of fun looking at our younger selves and explaining how we have changed over time.
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.
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.
Crew Ramsay have worked hard to create a ‘Guess The Baby’ gallery in our hall! We did a gallery walk where we looked at the baby pictures and observed the babies to see if any felt familiar. Then we filled in a class sheet guessing which baby is which child. We noticed that although we grow and change, some things stay the same such as eye shape and distinguishing features. We were also shocked at how different some of us looked as we had changed a LOT!
Today, Crew McLoughlin stepped into the role of a newspaper journalist to create bold and exciting headlines. The Crew showed great creativity and understanding of the novel. This engaging activity helped develop reporting and summarising skills while bringing the story to life in a fun and imaginative way. Well done, Crew, for producing eye-catching headlines worthy of the front page!
