Happy FriYAY! 😁🙌

I think that we are all relieved that it is finally Friday and we can have a few days rest after a very busy, tiring and what has felt like a very looonngg week! 😅💤

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be our Reading lesson this morning. 📚 I was really blown away with how well the children know the different lenses and can answer a range of questions in connection with these. It was also nice to listen to every child read this morning and I was impressed that every child openly volunteered to read aloud in front of the rest of the crew! 📖

Todays HoWL average is: 2.8

Not the best score this week but still a good score despite the number of absences that we have had in our crew today.

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this next week? 

All crew members need to try and attend school every day next week to ensure that our Crew HoWL score is the best that it can be. Children also need to remember to be kind to everyone and maintain a positive attitude at all times, as difficult as that may be!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Harry! Harry was praised by lots of his crew members and crew leaders for just getting on with his work. From the moment Harry arrived at school his head was down and he was focused on completing his work. Harry got almost full marks in his arithmetic, full marks in the 99 Club and even got all of his reading answers correct. A fabulous day and it just shows the rest of the crew that working hard really does result in helping you to get smart! Excellent work Harry! Well done! 👏⭐🤩🙌😁

Fantastic Friday! Crew Gerrard, both in class and online, have been working hard on their learning. I have been really proud to hear how well the children in class are settling into these unusual circumstances. You are adapting well and doing a great job. For those online, I cannot praise your perseverance enough, you are working really hard to overcome technical issues in order to complete your learning. You have made it really tricky to decide on our HoWL heroes, but they are:

Work hard: Kian for producing some detailed answers in reading 😁

Get smart: Zane for trying his best to understand the class text 😄

Be kind: Belle who always has a fantastic attitude. You make us all laugh 😀

Our HoWL average was 3.1!

Well done on getting through a tricky week. Have a great weekend!

😆

My star moment today was seeing how far the children have come in their reading lessons, they have made sure they answer every question by reading the question carefully. Our next target is to make sure we always read the text and find our answers from there. 😁📖📚

Average is: 3.2!👌🙌

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh need to continue to be more mindful of putting their hand up rather than getting out of their seat, and making sure that we are listening and following instructions the first time, we are improving on this every week and is getting better!

Today’s howl hero is:

Get Smart hero today is Aaliyah! 🙌

Aaliyah, has worked really hard all week! She has made sure all her work is looking neat and that she is giving 100% in her learning in all lessons! Well done Aaliyah! 😁✔

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

Work hard: Reece – for great work in developing his reading answers.

Get smart: Crystal – for brilliant engagement with lessons online.

Be kind: Maxi – for supporting and looking after children at break time.

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.4! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Another whirlwind of a week, how is it Friday already?!?

Highlight of the week:

I think I speak for the whole Crew when I say our highlight has been our expedition lessons this week! We have loved exploring our guiding question ‘What mysteries do castles keep’, and have looked at the different roles of people in the castle. We have been to Knight School, completed Princess Training and had a Royal Banquet complete with food, singing and battles! Check out our Week in Phase video to get a taste of what we’ve been up to!
