I have enjoyed our writing lesson today, it was an experience lesson. Children have made their own miner identification token, so they are now ready to go down a mine!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.3

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3! 👍

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow, Crew Marsh need to concentrate and work hard on their learning. Especially when sat at their tables and on the carpet.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Kind hero today is Millie!

Millie is always kind in Crew Marsh, she is always thinking about others and never says any negative comments.

Today, we could’ve given anyone HOWL hero… but the lucky 3 were:

Work hard: Milena 👩

Get smart: Crystal 👩

Be kind: McKenzie and Keegan 🐱‍👤

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.0! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Well done Crew Kent 👍

This week in our phase – Week 5!

A fabulous Friday in Crew Flaherty today. What a busy but fun week we have had.

Highlights of the week:

Celebrating our first month back at school with our Crew and seeing lots of smiling faces when they were completing their 3 activities.

In our morning crew sessions this week, we have been focussing on our Be Kind HOWL. It has been lovely to hear all the children’s ideas about how they can be kind to one another and to people in their community. We’ve had suggestions about how we would help someone who was hurt, how we would let them know we are kind and how we are there to help. We have talked about how we share our resources and how it is important to communicate to each other when we share our resources.

Today, in science we worked in ‘mini crews’ to consolidate our learning about the different stages the human life cycle. It was lovely to see the children discussing their ideas and sharing the resources Not only did your kindness impress me this morning Crew Flaherty but so did your presentation skills when you shared information about our basic needs. You all played a role to support your ‘mini crew’. Keep up the hard work, Crew Flaherty.

Learning Legend

Our learning legend this week is Daisy. Daisy has not only worked hard in all her lessons but she has challenged herself in English. I am so impressed with your positive attitude to writing Daisy.

Handwriting

Our golden ticket for the most improved handwriting this week has to be Amelia. She has listened carefully to feedback regarding her presentation in her books and her letter formation continues to improve. Keep it Amelia.

HOWLs

Our Crew average for the day was an amazing 3.7. Well done everyone.

Our weekly Crew average is an incredible score. In fact, Crew Flaherty it is our highest weekly score since we started in September. This just shows how amazing you are.

HOWL heroes

Work Hard

Amelia – for staying focused on her learning and having a positive attitude to complete her task in science.

Get Smart

Jenson – for listening carefully to everyone in his Crew

Be Kind

Brodie – for being a kind friend and using his manners all the time.

I wonder who will be our HOWL heroes next week.

Happy Friday People! 🙌

Yay! 😁 Lots of us in Crew Elmer were very grateful that it is Friday today as we are just soooo tired after what has felt like such a long week! 💤

Star moment of the day: ⭐

There have been many star moments ⭐ of today but the number one highlight was how hard children worked in our Science lesson this morning to write up their experiments in preparation for carrying out our investigation next week! I also loved how enthusiastic the children were about conducting the experiment next week. Their predictions were also on point and every crew member was able to justify these. Excellent scientists 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 Crew Elmer! Well done! 👏

Another ‘Star moment of the day’ ⭐ was Lily-Beth being awarded the ‘Golden Ticket’ for most improved handwriting this week. She was awarded with a special ‘cake and shake’ with Miss Laing and some other children and as you can see from the pictures Crew Elmer and myself were not jealous at all! 🤣😂🤣

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.3

WOW! 🤩 I think that this is the highest daily HoWL average that we have had so far! I believe this is down to how hard lots of the children have worked today and also because we almost had a full Crew house! 👍 I wonder… can we keep this up?

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we improve this next week?

Next week, Crew Elmer need to continue to work hard and have a positive attitude towards their learning at all times, as well as remembering to be kind to ALL crew members. I know we can do it Crew Elmer! 👍

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Crew Elmer nominated Rowan for our HoWL hero today! This boy has worked incredibly hard all day and even achieved ‘green standard’ in his maths work today! He has also kept a positive attitude towards his learning ALL day! 👍 The whole of Crew Elmer were incredibly proud! 🤩 Amazing work Rowan! ⭐ Well done! 👏

Learning legend: 

This weeks ‘Learning Legend’ was Kacey-Leigh! Kacey-Leigh is another quiet member of our class but she stands out for all three of the HoWLS and is often praised for this reason in our end of the day Crew sessions. Kacey-Leigh always tries her best even when things are rather challenging for her. She has learnt to use the 3 B’s before me and this has been really effective in enabling her to achieve ‘Gold Standard’ in many lessons this week. She also focuses on her work and learning at all times even if that means moving her chair to face the board, put her hand up or even move tables if a child is disturbing her learning; she is incredibly mature in this sense. Kacey-Leigh is also incredibly kind to both staff and her crew members and it is lovely to hear her crew members praise her so much after crew playtimes. Excellent work Kaey-Leigh! You are a great asset to Crew Elmer! 🥇👏👍🙌🤩
