We had a lovely day celebrating Easter 🐣 We started off with delicious hot cross buns for breakfast this morning, we really enjoyed them!
We couldn’t let the day pass us by without an egg rolling completion. We decorated our eggs 🥚 and had a marvellous time rolling them down the hill, despite the heavens opening ☔️🌧 We had a great time!
A very special visitor hopped on by, the Easter bunny! He had hidden eggs outside so we went on an Easter egg hunt 🐇
Have a lovely Easter 🐣 everyone ♥️
Thursday ✅
Another day where the children have amazed me 🥰 some fantastic maths problem solving today and getting smart in phonics. The children have been teaching each other today speed sounds and blending CVC words. It’s lovely to see them enjoying their learning ♥️
Todays HoWL heroes were:
Working hard: SJ and Skyla produced some beautiful writing today. They worked so hard to form their letters beautifully and write all the sounds they could hear. Well done 👏🏻
HoWL average: 3.2, a slight increase today. Let’s see if we can get it to 3.5 tomorrow!
Work hard Wednesday 💪🏻
This week we’ve been carrying out our little tasks to see how well we are working towards achieving ‘green standard’ at the end of EYFS. I’m absolutely thrilled by the amount of progress the children are making, especially in reading. I can really see a difference in the children’s confidence and fluency. Thank you to those parents at home who continue to help their children at home with phonics, it really does make a difference!
HoWL heroes today were this lovely lot 🥰 great work today in phonics. They were confident with their speed sounds and as Lydia said, ‘I’m a word reader now’ 🥰 You all make me so proud ♥️
HoWL average: 3 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Another great day crew, keep up the great work.
Tuesday ✅
We’ve worked hard, to get smart today 🙌🏼 We’ve had such a lovely day in crew and I was so amazed by the children settling and getting on with their work.
We have been recalling facts about our solar system today and answering our expedition guiding question, ‘Can we go to infinity and beyond?’ I was amazed by the children’s knowledge and understanding. We can’t wait to share our final product with you all 🚀 🌝 ⭐️ 👽 Shelby started to create her own rocket creation to fly the alien back to the moon. 
HoWL hero today was:
Be Kind ♥️ : Prince. Prince set a fantastic example today of what ‘green standard’ looks like. He was sat beautifully, listened carefully and followed instructions. He tidied the classroom perfectly and helped his crew in other areas ⭐️
HoWL average: 3 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Great start to the week crew, we even had done children achieving fours today ♥️ I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
Fun Friday 🙌
What a fantastic day we’ve had celebrating Red Nose Day 🔴
Star moment of the day: ⭐ Today’s ‘star moment’ has to be the effort that children and parents went to to celebrate Red Nose Day ❤️ The children all looked amazing dressed in their red clothes today! They were so excited to show their friends. We spoke about those children less fortunate and we cane up with lovely ideas of how to support each other in times of need. 
HoWL heroes:
Today we couldn’t choose one HoWL hero, so we all had a HoWL hero for being kind. This was for the lovely suggestions made in crew about how to help those less fortunate.
Have a lovely weekend everyone, see you on Tuesday ❤️😌
Thursday ❤️
I am so proud of our crew today and their work hard attitude. This week we have been developing our expeditionary protocols and have perfected ‘whip arounds’, we decided to take this one step further and practise ‘popcorn’. This is a trickier protocol as the children have to use a lot of key skills such as observing other children, listening carefully and thinking whilst ‘popping’. I was absolutely amazed by how well the children were able to ‘pop’ and suggest comments and ideas about a given subject. Well done Crew!
The children enjoyed sorting healthy and unhealthy food today to make their astronaut lunch. We had some fantastic quotes from the children, I was blown away by their knowledge and understanding.
HoWL hero today was……
Be Kind – Noah. Noah always sets a great example in crew. He is kind and caring and very supportive of his crew members. When another child was unsure today, he exclaimed, ‘you can do it, have a try’ this spurred the other child on through his kind words and encouragement. Well down Noah ❤️
HoWL score:
3.1 another great score, keep up the great work Crew Godley
Work hard Wednesday ✔
Highlight of the day:
The alien landed in our classroom! We think he was trying to get back into the rocket, we decided that its time to create spaceships for the alien to get back to Mars as his arm has healed and he is desperate to see his Crew back home. We created some designs outside using chalk, they were out of this world! We can’t wait to start creating them tomorrow.
Howl Heroes:
Work Hard: This goes to Zach for demonstrating his positive attitude towards his learning by working hard in phonics with Miss Tabone.
Get Smart: This goes to Shelby for her beautiful display writing today, she really took her time to make sure it was beautiful work.
Howl Average:
2.94 – a little drop from yesterday’s score however we have our targets ready for tomorrow and hopefully we will see that score rise back up to a solid three.
Monday ✔
What a great start to the week! We have worked so hard today to get smart in our expeditionary learning today 😊 We have explored healthy eating today and how we can make good food choices. Lydia blew me away when she exclaimed we needed to take water ‘to keep us hydrated’.
We decided to test our sequencing and fine motor skills today by making a sandwich to take on our space picnic with us. This was tricky as we had to remember lots of things! For example, washing our hands, gathering our equipment and lastly which seemed to be the part everyone remembered, eating the sandwich!
HoWL Heroes:
Getting Smart: Todays HoWL heroes were Roseanne and Evelynn. These two little stars are a credit to Crew Godley. They make me smile every day with their positive attitudes, beautiful work and ‘green’ standard learning behaviours.
HoWL score:
Today I was absolutely thrilled we finished on a fantastic 3.02! Especially on a Monday when we’re settling back into routines after the weekend. Keep up the great work Crew Godley!
I was impressed today by the children’s determination to succeed and praise each other. We had some fantastic shout outs in our Crew at the end of the day. I’m so pleased with how mature our littlest of people are 💕
Tuesday ✅
We’ve worked really hard today in Crew Godley to make sure we are applying our learning independently and working collaboratively to help each other. We’ve had some lovely discussion today in our ‘perfect partners’. We discussed which items astronauts would need to take to space with them. We decided an astronaut would need a helmet as there was no oxygen on the moon and that a football wouldn’t be much use due to the lack of gravity. Great work Crew Godley 🌟✨🌟
HOWL Heroes:
Work hard: Kyla 👏
Get smart: Freddie 👏
Be kind: Logan 👏
HOWL Score: 2.8 with such a good day yesterday I thought we were onto a winning week! We reflected at the end of the day and unfortunately a few crew members didn’t work hard, being kind. However tomorrow is a fresh day and I’m sure we can get the score back up to a three, at least 😊
We have had a wonderful first day back with our full crew after lockdown 3.0! We are so glad everyone has re-joined us in school and we have worked so hard today on all of our learning! We even got a special certificate and reward for all of our hard work over the last lockdown! It was very exciting! It was so lovely to hear lots of our crew members exclaiming that they’d share it with their families, we have such kind little people in our crew!
Highlight of the Day:
Our highlight of the day was having Sheldon back in the classroom with us. He has enjoyed his lockdown with Harold 🐢 and was so happy to be reunited with his crew.
Howl Heroes:
Work Hard: This goes to George for coming back after months of working at home and getting straight back into his work – he produced some lovely writing about Sheldon.
Get Smart: This goes to Roseanne today for consistently displaying green standard across all of our lessons today – keep it up Roseanne!
Howl Average:
3 – We have started the week off strongly, a few reminders given for listening ears and showing green standard on the carpet but those children know they need to work on this, lets aim for 3.5 for the end of the week! I am confident we can achieve this.
