We have had a lovely couple of mornings in Crew Godley, we’ve collaborated, challenged ourselves and reflected on our learning. We have worked with our parents to create boats which would not sink when filled and structures to hold an orange off the table for 30 seconds! I’d like to praise the resilience of the children and parents when it became a little tricky!
The children have worked hard to support each other through their first PE session as Crew Godley.
We have practiced our under and over arm throwing, batting and fielding skills and have really developed our communication skills and tried to build on our new relationships .
We are looking forward to continuing these relationships as Crew Godley.
This morning I have had the pleasure of spending a bit of time in classrooms. I was really pleased to see our new F2 pupils ‘being kind’ with their new crew mates, in particular at the water area, where children were working together to transfer water from the tray to the funnels.
I have also been particularly impressed by the work taking place across UKS2, their poetry work is really beautiful and includes such powerful messages for those reading. Thank you UKS2.
I look forward to dropping into a few more classrooms on our final day of transition tomorrow.
It has been so lovely to welcome parents in to our crew this morning. Crew MI have created posters about themselves to display on our door for September.
We’ve also had enjoyed our maths lesson this morning where we recapped our methods for short and long multiplication and played a board game. It was tricky when we landed on a challenge square but we worked together as mini crews to solve them.
We have had a lovely morning in Crew Ferguson this morning, meeting and exploring the provision with our grownups. The children have had the opportunity to share the resources and play with new children who are going to be in their crew.
We then circled up together to read a story whilst having milk and fruit. The grownups in nursery have been really impressed with how well the children sat and shared their ideas.
We can’t wait to see everyone in August!
What a great start to our new Year 3/4 classes. After a bit of settling in, we have been able to complete some Crew building activities. We built spaghetti and marshmallow towers – the aim was to build the highest structure we could with the same amount of items. This has helped us feel more comfortable with each other!
Throughout the week, so far, we have also been looking at the book Small Things. We have been having many discussions about feelings and worries, in order to help settle us. These interesting discussions have been a fantastic way of getting to know our new Crews and how we can help them feel better when they aren’t quite feeling themselves!
Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the week, where we will share our sketches of London monuments. This is preparing us for our new Expedition in Autumn! 👀👀
On Friday 8th July we had our Summer Sleepover at Carcroft! Once we arrived, we got our sleeping areas set up and settled into the classroom before heading outside to play in the gorgeous weather ☀️We enjoyed playing out on the playground before heading inside to have a takeaway pizza and chips 🍕🍟 Afterwards, we battled each other on Kahoot before the staff team joined in and managed to sneak into the lead to take the win! 💪🏻
As a crew we tidied up before settling down to watch Sing 2 with a bag of crisps and a biscuit, before we knew it it was time for lights out! There were many excitable children so getting to sleep was a loooooooong process! 😴
5:30am was apparently the perfect time to wake up (although the staff definitely disagreed!) and after a slow start it was time for breakfast before packing up and being collected by parents.
It was a super fun evening and the children certainly enjoyed themselves!
This morning we opened our doors to our families, it was so lovely to have families back in school with us. In KS1 (Y1&2), the children worked with their adults to create a range of structures using a range of materials. It was so lovely to see parents collaborating with their child and I know the children loved it too. Thank you to all those parents who attended this morning and we look forward to having more of you in school with us this week.
