Crew Gerrard blog (23/09/2020)

Hi everyone!

We started the day with a Crew circle, seeing how everyone was feeling. We then had the important debate of whether pineapple belongs on pizza or not. Opinion was split!

Later in the morning, during maths, Crew Gerrard made another step forward to work hard and get smart with rounding. I can see that we’re feeling more confident with it. We then went to practice some spellings, too.

We did manage to get out for a bit of fresh air, which helped us really concentrate on our writing and finish off chunk 3 of plot point 3 (paragraph 3). I am loving reading them and can’t wait to share some of our writing. After this, we continued to work hard, so that we could really understand our book The Giver.

Even though it was a wet lunch, we didn’t let that dampen our spirits, with many playing games, colouring or watching a bit of Disney Plus.

After filling our bellies, we then went to burn off some energy in PE, with lots of fun relay type races. We then completed our final bit of expedition work, by writing down what we noticed from the pictures of old Carcroft and Carcroft nowadays. It was great to see a range of changes over time. We ended the day with a check out circle and seeing how our day went. We know what we did really well and came up with a couple of ideas of where we could improve and make our day better.

Our HoWL heroes for today were:

-Kian for working hard on rounding. It was not always easy, but Kian worked hard and persevered to become a rounding whizz and work independently. I was really proud of your determination Kian!

-Amelia for getting smart in her writing. She wrote a really vivid description of a drive though mountains and I could picture myself there. There will be pictures to follow. Well done Amelia!

-Ruby for being kind. She’s kind all the time, but was amazing with her listening and helping others with their work. What a Crew member you are Ruby!

Our HoWL average was 2.9 for today.

Have a great evening!

Mr G 😊
