We’ve had a fantastic week in Crew Godley this week! Our expeditionary learning has been so exciting! We began with our gallery of photos from when we were babies. The children were so amazed to see themselves so small 👶🏻


We’ve been writing facts about animals to tell Farmer Ian all about the animals he could have on his farm if he wished to. We’ve worked so hard to demonstrate green standard by using our phonics to help spell those tricky words, finger spaces and full stops.

We’ve given out lots of Howls throughout the week for children who are demonstrating their ability to work hard, get smart and be kind. I wonder who will be our HoWL heroes next week 🦸‍♂️

I would like to praise SJ who has worked incredibly hard on his learning behaviours this week. I am absolutely delighted with his maturity and resilience even when things get a little tricky.

We have worked hard on our praises, pledges, notices and wonders this week in crew and I can’t wait to see more children sharing with each other in crew next week 💜

Howl Average: 3.6

We’ve definitely had the Friday Feeling today, so enjoy the long weekend Crew Godley and I will see you all bright and early on Tuesday morning 🙂

Another busy and happy day in Crew, such a positive start to Summer term. The children have settled quickly back into school life ❤️

We spent most of our day outside today enjoying the fresh air. We used lots of equipment and our imaginations to build dens! It was so much fun and we found lots of things to do in them like using pots and pans to make music!

We made loud sounds to keep the Wicked Witch if the West at bay 🧙‍♀️ and quiet sounds so we didn’t scare Toto 🐶

HoWL hero: Today’s HoWL hero was Reggie for working hard. Reggie worked hard to show green standard today. I’m so proud of him ❤️

It was so lovely to have our crew back together today! 

Highlight of the day: We started off our new term with crew building in PE. We worked as a great team to ensure we put all of the fruit into our yummy fruit salad. We helped each other to complete the tasks and cheered each other on to show their support!

HoWL Hero: Today’s HoWL hero was Shelby for being kind. Shelby showed real maturity outside when sharing resources and worked together with her peers.

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.
