We have been super busy in nursery! Today we finished decorating our bear biscuits that we baked yesterday. We made him a hat and boots just like he has in the story ‘whatever next’. They must have been tasty as most of the children ate them as soon as they left the classroom

We had a musical morning where we had lots of fun playing different instruments. We practiced playing in time to the music, playing them fast, slow, quiet and loud. We have some budding percussionists, they were fantastic! We then listened to more music doing playdough disco. We rolled, splatted, squashed and pinched the playdough to get our fingers warmed up and really strong

One of my favourite highlights from today is the work that the children produced doing write dance with Mrs Mason. They listened carefully to the music and made some lovely marks with chalk that represented the music. I was blown away

Testing Thursday!

Today’s has been a ‘testing’ kind of day for many different reasons! We have had crew members testing each other’s patience at break times, testing each other’s knowledge in Maths and testing my ability to spell some very tricky words in The Write Stuff!!

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be our Reading lesson today. 📖 I was super impressed with how well the children understood the text that we were reading as well as the different lenses that we were covering. The children had a long list of questions to answer but all children managed to answer each one and the majority even got them all correct! Excellent work today Crew Elmer! Well done! 😁👏⭐👍🙌

Todays HoWL average is: 3.0

Another good score today and it also means that we are still on track to meet this week’s HoWL target! Well done Crew! Just tomorrow to go!!

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

All crew members need to make sure that they consistently follow the HoWLs throughout the day. We had a fantastic morning but this afternoon some crew members let themselves down and this meant that they received a lower HoWL score than they were actually capable of. I know tomorrow is a shorter day but I really hope we can demonstrate the HoWLs as best as we can from the start to the end of the day! 🤞

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Harry! Harry has really impressed all of his crew members as well as Miss Hart and myself with his excellent work all day. Harry has worked hard all day, focusing on his learning and completing all of the tasks that he has been set! As a result he has got ‘Green Standard’ in every lesson, got 4’s for his HoWLs and produced some excellent work for our displays! An amazing day Harry! Well done! 👏⭐🤩🙌

We have had a wet but productive day in Crew Wilson today.

Highlight of the day:

We have recapped ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’ symbols today and have been comparing number sentences. I have been blown away by the amount of children that knew all the answers to my questions, so much hard work shown today, well done!
