Crew Gerrard Blog (29/09/2020)

Hi everyone,

This morning we started by sharing how we were feeling during Crew circle and what our favourite TV show was. We worked really hard to get to grips with Roman Numerals and we did a great job of this. I know that Miss Laing was really impressed with Crew Gerrard’s determination throughout – well done!

Crew Gerrard, after spellings and break, then moved their learning onto writing. We worked at a really good pace to try and speed up our writing. Quality did not suffer and we are going to try our very best to make sure that they continue to keep improving. We then continued to develop our reading skills with our new style of learning, which we continue to develop our confidence with.

After having had our lunch, we then moved onto our expedition work. Before we started, the children were interested in finding out more information about the Golden Gate Bridge, in San Francisco. The children were really fascinated about it. During our expedition learning, we completed our analysis of what Carcroft has to offer. It’s really pleasing to see the children have lots of belief in their community and see that they want to help make it even better. The day ended with a phase Crew, where we showed our Crew’s work hard video and watched Crew McLoughlin’s brilliant video.

Our HoWL heroes for today are:

-Alicia for working hard. Your attitude of late has been brilliant and you’re really setting the example. You also helped me a great deal by scribing for me, so that your peers can be helped with the working walls. Well done!

-Tyler for getting smart. You have really tried to work independently and I was impressed by your growing confidence with Roman numerals. Keep it up!

-Belle for being kind. You really help make your Crew smile, but your listening skills and eagerness to help people was really pleasing to see. Your explanations for Roman Numerals were really impressive.

Our HoWL average today was 3.1.

Have a great evening and see you all tomorrow – remember, it is PE in the afternoon, so don’t forget your kits!
