Hi guys!
We’ve had another really positive day of working hard, getting smart and being kind in Crew Gerrard today. The morning started off differently, with writing where the children wrote about how their character was feeling during a journey through flowery fields. Then, after break, we moved onto reading and thought about what makes the children who they are. It was really lovely reading about what makes them who they are, such as that they care for their families, a love of sport and the fact that they love pizza – it reminded me of myself!
After reading, we moved onto consolidating our knowledge of rounding. This is something that we’re going to continue practicing, as I can see the confidence growing more and more. Keep going guys, we’ll get there!
Once lunch was over and the children had settled during their reading for pleasure, we looked into comparing and contrasting how places have changed. This involved looking and describing how major cities have changed during the past 100 years, ready to apply to how Carcroft has changed. The children loved being able to see how much Carcroft has actually changed, including looking at the street view on Google maps.
Today’s HoWL heroes were:
- Belle for working really hard, you absolutely smashed rounding and writing today – keep going!
- Evie for trying to get smart, you made lots of really useful contributions and I can see how much effort you’re putting into your work – well done!
- Alicia – you could have won either, but what made me feel really proud was how Miss Laing had recognised how you listen to your peers. You give them full attention, showing that you’re ready to learn and listen. Plus, your rounding was amazing, too.
Our HoWL average was 3.2 today, which is an improvement on yesterday.
It is PE tomorrow! Keep going guys, you’re doing a great job!!
Mr G 😁
