Todays highlights ✨

This morning we discussed our project in Crew to show off our expertise on being kind. I had thought over the weekend of an original idea of how we could do this and also how to show kindness to the community. The children have added some amazing ideas to this project and are really wowing me with their kind thoughts already! So watch this space to see how we spread Kindness across Crew and Carcroft community.

In maths we looked at roman numerals up to a 1000! Massive well done to Logan C for helping the rest of the class with this as it does take a lot of attention and thinking to work out. We will consolidate this further tomorrow to ensure we are all amazing at knowing our roman numerals.

This afternoon we had our computing lesson and further discussed how to be the best game developers. We are using Scratch to create the online games and I know many children are eager to follow this up at home. So feel free Crew Mcloughlin to get a free account with Scratch and keep saving your game to then improve in lesson.

Hi everyone,

Today in Crew Gerrard we have settled into the new week. The day began by testing our knowledge of Roman Numerals. We’ll continue to improve and practice this tomorrow, to really consolidate our knowledge. Then we practiced our spellings, looking into the silent ‘T’.

We came in after break, eager to start our next plot point. We did a really good job and were focused as we wrote up the next few sentences. I love this attitude guys and can’t wait for more tomorrow. We then moved onto our new style of reading, which involves having even more specific focus. This was a challenge as it was our first attempt, but I am confident that, with a little bit more practice and perseverance, we’ll get there and keep improving our reading skills.

This afternoon, we looked into a SWOT analysis of Carcroft. This involved looking into the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to Carcroft. It was fantastic hearing what the children want for their local community and we can’t wait to help out!

Today’s HoWL heroes are:

-Lucas for having such a brilliant attitude to his work and working really hard. You have had a fantastic start to your week and your determination has been really impressive. Keep this up!

-Ruby for being very attentive, listening carefully and trying her very best to get smart. You were brilliant throughout every and kept trying really hard. Well done!

-Sapphire for being kind. You are always kind to everyone and I keep saying it, but you are a tremendous role model to our Crew!

Our HoWL average for today was 3.0.

Have a great evening and I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!

Mr G 😁

Hi all,

Star moment of the day:

In Crew this morning, we had the pleasure welcoming a new student to our crew. The children have taken him under their wing to ensure that he felt comfortable and knew where things were. The children introduced themselves and were able to share something about themselves. This demonstrates a positive attitude to Crew by ensuring they were being kind.

Today’s HoWL average is: 2.9

How can we improve this tomorrow?

Tomorrow Crew Shields need to continue ensuring that they listen and follow instructions as this shows they are working Hard.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Kind hero today is: Jack!!

Jack has been a massive help today and been a great friends to our new Crew member. He has explained how we do things at Carcroft and shown him where things belong. This has definitely helped them settled in and feel welcomed in our Crew

Our Work Hard hero today is: Dairis

Daris has worked really hard today and despite only joing our school today, he has completed all his learning and followed instructions. Dairis has been polite and friendly towards his new Crew.

As we begin week 5, we had some tired children in nursery this morning! 😴 We woke ourselves up in our PE session with Kixx, where we imagined we were pirates! ⚓️ We moved different ways around our pirate ship, following instructions and building our gross motor skills! We also practiced our colours as we jumped from one colour to another! 🟣🔵🟢

This afternoon, we listened to the story ‘sharing a shell’ 🐚🦀🐙 We discussed the sounds we might be able to hear at the seaside and the children did some fantastic seagull and wave sound impressions! The children then had a fantastic idea to use the shells within the sand provision and took it in turns to listen in them 👂🏼

HOWL Hero

Working Hard – Addison-Jean

Whilst doing some phonics games, Addison-Jean listened so carefully and tried her best. She was focussed and paying attention, which is sometimes not easy to do! Well done!

Good afternoon everyone,

As we returned to school today for week 5 of our half term, the children spoke about how they were all feeling a little tired. We discussed how we could make ourselves feel better within the classroom and support one another to feel more positive. The girls suggested we could read to our “buddy bears” as well as each other, as most children expressed they enjoyed a story when they were feeling in the “blue” zone. The friendships and closeness of the children have been lovely to watch grow over the past few weeks. They are definitely enjoying being back with their peers.

Brilliant day yet again Crew Kent!! You’ve blown me away with how well you have presented your English work after we made some changes. You have taken our push for perfect presentation on board and are really trying to improve the neatness of your work. This also goes for Math’s as we have been learning about Roman Numerals today which the children have enjoyed a lot!!
