Kicking off sports week in an extraordinary way! Sporting Champions in Year 2 🏃‍♂️

4th July 2022Laura Godley

What an extraordinary day we’ve had today in Crew! We were so lucky to have met James Dasaolu! James is a British sprint track and field athlete who specialises in the 100 metres, over which distance he is the 2014 European champion 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

In July 2013, he became the second fastest Briton of all time after running a 100 m time of 9.91 seconds in the British Championships. In 2014 he won his first major title, claiming the gold medal in the 100 metres at the 2014 European Athletics Championships.

James put us through our paces and spotted some sporting heroes.

Well done done Keira-Leigh and Stevie for raising so much money through their sponsorship.

The whole school had an assembly with James this afternoon, and now each crew will participate in a physical activity with James! Such an inspiration to our young athletes in the making.

Cooking has began in Y5!

Today we thought about how we use and follow a recipe. To start with we made a fruit salad. We made sure we recapped food hygiene and cross contamination and ensured we were really thinking about food cleanliness. We discussed the recipe in mini crews then decided who would be responsible for each part of the process. We really developed our work hard howl by working well in mini crews ensuring we were actively participating and had a positive attitude to everything we did. We really did get smart aswell by supporting others to succeed by working collaboratively. We then moved onto our first starter, chicken traffic light kebabs. Some children were responsible for making the marinade, some cut the chicken and others chopped the peppers. Some children then used the ingredients to make the kebabs. We loved eating them at the end! A fantastic morning Crew MI, Crew Shields and Crew Boswell! We are all looking forward to making our second starter and main tomorrow.

Crew MI and Boswell play rounders

We had great fun playing rounders yesterday. We started with football rounders to get used to the rules and how to play then we progressed to rounders. First, we used a tennis racket to practise our hitting then some of us challenged ourselves to use the proper rounders bat. This was a fantastic crew activity where we worked together on our HOWLs, particularly our being kind one, where we were supportive and respectful to our peers.

Next week at Carcroft – It’s a busy one!

Beautiful Work in Crew Godley

30th June 2022Laura Godley

Today, as a crew, after our handwriting session we decided that we would like to share with each other the amazing progress we had made with our handwriting this term. We collaborated and decided to carry out a gallery walk to showcase our most improved piece. We then ‘noticed’, ’praised’ and ’wondered’ whilst critiquing our handwriting. We just had to share the amazing progress of one young man, Harrylee. He won’t mind me sharing that he finds handwriting difficult and would rather be climbing a tree! Just look at that smile when he realised how much positive praise he had received from his crew today 🥰🥰 We have some great cursive handwriting developing daily from our crew. Keep up the great work Crew Godley!
