Crew Gerrard blog (24/09/2020)

Hi everyone!

In Crew Gerrard, we have had a brilliant day of learning. We had a really tiring, but fun PE session, when Mr Kent took us through our paces with circuit training. We then returned to make sure that we had cracked our spellings, with our words all ending with suffix -able.

After break, we then went through our writing, to check that we had included everything that we needed to and that our punctuation and grammar in general was accurate. We then completed some more maths tasks, where we made sure that we were comfortable with our learning. The morning ended with some more discussions around our book The Giver.

When we had returned from lunch, we settled down with some reading for pleasure and then came to one of our favourite lessons – computing with Scratch! The children really loved it and even had a challenge to be able to move their characters using the arrow keys, to be able to generate movement. We had such fun.

We then celebrated a really successful and enjoyable day with our Crew circle. As a Crew, we decided on our HoWL heroes, who were:

-Hassan for working hard. His attitude to his learning was fantastic and the pride that he took in himself was really pleasing to see, especially his maths. Well done, Hassan!

-Zane for trying his best in each subject. I was really proud of how Zane was challenging himself, listening to feedback and his effort to really understand his learning in all subjects. You were fantastic Zane, keep it up!

-Jolie for being kind. She really does try to brighten up everyone’s day and I know how much she wants to achieve HoWL certificates. Well done, Jolie!

Our HoWL average today was 3.2. Also, see below Amelia’s beautiful work from her writing and the imagery she created!
