Day 2.  Our toy of the past today is the Crayola crayon.

Did you know that during their first 40 years, each and every Crayola crayon was rolled by hand?

Another strong day for us today and some great work throughout the day.  Our highlight was during our expedition where we learned a little more about the Sikh’s sewa and what happens at the Langar.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.1

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can continue with the positive attitude that we’ve been showing all week.  Challenges are there to be overcome so it’s not a case of “I can’t do it” but “I can’t do it yet!”

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Work Hard HoWL Hero today is Harvey!

Harvey has had a good day today and this is down to his positive attitude throughout the day though.  His stand out moment has to be not only the focus he has put into his times tables but his pride and delight in scoring a personal best during our weekly checks!  Well done Harvey!

My star moment today is watching the children start their walk to the north pole! It felt like a a lot and I bet we all have tired legs now but we each managed to walk a mile!! 🎅🤶

Average is: 3.2! 🙌

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Again, I want the children to continue to make sure they are listening to every single step I am giving and following the instructions.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Smart hero today is Preston!😁

Preston has been a superstar all week and has tried his best all day everyday! Well done Preston, you have worked so hard and it is showing in your test results. You really are getting smart!! ✔👌

Crew Mcloughlin have worked their socks off today completing assessments! Well done crew, your hard work will all pay off. Our HoWL heroes today then…🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Nursery Advent Calendar song day 2 🎄🎅 This took 12 attempts but we got there in the end! We hope you enjoy it and well done to the children ❤

 

Come back tomorrow for Day 3 🌟

We have had a fantastic (and tiring!) day in Crew Wilson today!

Highlight of the day:

Today we walked to Owston Church to have a look at stained glass windows as part of our expedition learning. We were such superstars and followed instructions brilliantly, we were definitely a credit to our school! After our long walk back to school, in the afternoon we created our own stained glass windows using laminating pouches and tissue paper – the results were amazing! We were very tired after all our hard work so relaxed with a hot chocolate and ‘The Grinch’. We will all definitely sleep well tonight!!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: Our Work Hard Howl goes to Tia for her brilliant effort today, Tia was actively involved spotting things on our walk and had a positive attitude to her learning all day, well done!

Get Smart: This Howl goes to Jake for his brilliant stained glass window, he carefully thought about what he wanted to design and executed it perfectly, great work Jake!

Be Kind: This Howl goes to two of our crew today – April and Miami collaborated on a stained glass window after one of them got a bit stuck. They worked together so well and their final product was beautiful, well done girls!

Howl Average:

3.5 We have maintained our score again today, well done Crew Wilson! One day left till the end of our week, lets see if we can get a spin on the wheel!

We have had a fun afternoon learning some new dancing styles. We have learned some African and Bollywood dancing. Even Miss Shields has learned something new. I’m excited to see these skills develop over the next couple of weeks.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.0

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

To improve further, Crew Shields need to ensure they are listening to instructions to ensure they know what they are doing.

Our Working hard hero today is Ava!

Ava has been working really hard in all lessons to ensure she is listening carefully. This really showed while completing some of her assessments this week.

Today our pupils voted for HOWL heroes…

Hi everyone,

One more test tomorrow, guys! 😆

What a wonderful Wednesday we’ve had! There’s no better way to start our blog with the fabulous talents of Skyla and Noah opening our advent calendar ❤

We have certainly worked hard in order to get smart today! The children have blown Miss Tabone and I away today with their phonics skills and Fred talk 🐸. We then applied this in our writing, we produced some brilliant writing. The children showed fantastic independence and resilience when some words were a bit tricky ⭐ SJ then led his own phonics session, the children helped each other to ‘get smart’.

 

We then continued to work on our final expedition piece. I was absolutely thrilled with the children and how much confidence they displayed! Summer wanted to take on the role of the narrator and read the entire story of ‘The Gruffalo’ 🌲🌲 SJ then went off to write his own script, film maker in the making!

Our HoWL average today was 2.8, so close to our target of 3.

HoWL Heroes today were:

Getting Smart – Freddie for some excellent work in phonics.

– Skyla has applied her phonics skills in her reading today and she                                         confidently read CVC words.

Working Hard – Summer for reading a fantastic story with such tricky words.

Being Kind – Michael did a great job today making sure he was kind and considerate to our classroom environment.
