Hi all,

What a busy day we’ve had! We’ve been writing our recounts from our walk, counting backwards from 10, and creating our buildings. Some of us have even added wheels to our buses!

Our HOWL Heroes for the day are:

Work Hard: H

Get Smart: Nathan

Be Kind: Lylah

Well done HOWL Heroes!

Our average today was 2.8…A little low today Crew Welburn 😬😬 Let’s try again tomorrow!

What a fantastic day!! Crew Kent started off the day with a brilliant P.E. session working hard on a variety of skills such as throwing, catching and balancing. Next the children worked on their math continuing to adding and subtracting 1000’s, 100’s, 10’s and 1’s. Next the children edited and improved their writing looking at adding more alliteration and description to their work. In the afternoon children excelled in Computing learning to code computer games using Scratch. This was a very enjoyable session with children very focused and determined to get their coding correct. Keep up the hard work! 👍👍

Howl Heroes for the day – Working Hard = Maxi, Getting Smart = Sophia and Being Kind = McKenzie

Howl average for the day = 3.4

Good evening,

Star moment of the day:

Our star moment of the day was the enthusiasm and excitement to begin our lessons on coding in computing.  I think it’s safe to say we may have found a new favourite lesson…for now!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.2

We’ve improved again on yesterday’s score and this is certainly down to our positive attitude in computing and hard work in writing; great work!

How can we improve this tomorrow?

To improve on this tomorrow, we’ll need to ensure we listen carefully at all times to be able to follow instructions to help us with our learning.  A Cojo challenge to start the day will be a good test for this.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Get Smart – Maddie!  Maddie has started to learn Bulgarian at home to try and be a better friend to one of our crew.  She shared this with the rest of us when we circled up today and is now helping us to all learn some basic words so that we can truly become crew!

I am super impressed with our CREW today. We have had a wonderful day and it was lovely to see all the children enthusiastic about their learning in computing today. I think they are really excited about the program SCRATCH next week 🙂

Highlight of the day:

Today I was impressed with how the children as 2 ‘mini crews’ during COJO. It was wonderful to see them supporting each other and cheering each other on.

We have had a lovely day in Crew Thiede today! The children have been continuing to write about their walk to Coffee Corner last week, and we have been focussing on describing the physical features that we saw. The children have generated some fantastic vocabulary to use in their writing, I can’t wait to carry on tomorrow!

Today’s highlights✨

We started the morning off with discussing how happy we felt and displayed lots of positive attitudes for the day ahead! Miss Mcloughlin was super impressed with how hard we worked adding 1000s, 100s and 1s. With more practise we will all be accessing the reasoning and problem solving tasks! Our Crew has definitely got some keen mathematicians to help us along the way. In reading we have continued to read our key text ‘The giver’. We focused on our identity and what makes us who we are. This provoked some quality discussion between the Crew and really made us think about ourselves.

During the afternoon we looked at our pictures of Carcroft we took on yesterday’s walk and again the children spoke about how much fun the they had participating in this active learning. We started to draw our field sketches which we will perfect next week and put some pictures of these on here for you all to see.

HoWL Heros

HoWL Crew average: 3

Hi everyone,

This morning Crew Gerrard have been working hard on being able to count in steps of 1000, 100, 10 and 1. This has really challenged us and we will work hard to keep getting better at this. We have also added to our writing, which continues to improve.

This afternoon we finished off improving our field sketches and also had our PE session. We were working on being athletes and managed to complete a scavenger hunt, which we will continue to explore during the next couple of weeks.

Today’s HoWL Heroes are:

• Riley for working hard in all subjects, you kept going and showed great resilience, especially in your maths.
• Zane for getting smart. We could see how much effort you put into your writing and the pride you took in it.
• Emily for being kind to all of your peers, it really shows your Crew how much you care for them (thanks for the doughnuts as well!). Make sure that you read Emily’s second paragraph below!

Our HoWL average score today was 3.3!

I know that tomorrow will be even better!

Mr G 😆

We have had another fantastic day in Crew Wilson!

Highlights from today:

Counting backwards from 10 in maths – children have loved working on this today, special shout out to Tommy F for helping out some of his group when they got a little bit confused with their numbers.

Another superb writing lesson following The Write Stuff . Shoutout to Perrie and Jake for collaboratively sounding out the word ‘ecstatic’ – not a word I thought I’d hear from Year 1 only 3 weeks into the year!

We played ‘Capture the Flag’ in PE and it was great to see the children developing tactical plans, taking on the role of attackers and defenders and working together to win – although some are a little more competitive than others…..

HOWL Heroes.

Work Hard – Dalton has given 110% in every lesson today, working so well alongside others and really applying his knowledge to his work, great stuff Dalton!

Get Smart – Luke is our Get Smart champ of today as he has listened carefully to questions and thought hard about his responses. Luke has contributed to every discussion in crew today, well done Luke, we are so proud!

Be Kind – Daisy is our Kindness Queen of the day, checking on her friends when they were upset, organising games on the playground and taking pride in our learning environment by tidying up. Well done Daisy!

HOWL Average:

3.7

Some very honest self-assessment from the crew today, we’ve had a 0.1 dip in the average but they have promised that tomorrow we will get that number higher by listening first time and taking their time with their learning to ensure it is of the highest standard!

Well done Crew Wilson, another day smashed!!!
