Happy New Year to all of our families, I am completely overwhelmed today with how the children have settled into our ‘new normal’ again. Crew Godley have been amazing ☺️

Thank you to all our parents for supporting to ensure children were prepared for school and those parents at home for their patience. We are missing the home learners being in school and are counting down the days till everyone is back ❤️

The children were so excited this morning when they entered the classroom into our ‘space’ themed learning environment 🌙 🌝 🌏 🌟 💫  The children certainly worked hard to get smart and I would like to praise Summer for her extensive knowledge of the Solar System, I was blown away by her knowledge of the planets!

Stay safe everyone and again, thank you for a great first day ☺️

What a magical day we’ve had ⭐️ 🎄 🎅🏼

We began by completing some festive art work which SJ and Roseanne won a little prize for their fantastic shading skills. We continued the day by performing our expedition piece which we can’t wait to shares out you all 🌲 we have some very talented little people ⭐️

This evening we held our Christmas Story night. We watched the Snowman whilst eating lovely hot dogs and drinking yummy hot chocolate ☺️ The children were all snug on their pillows and blankets. It was a pleasure to spend the evening with them ⭐️

What a lovely start to the week, we began by perfecting our dance 💃 with Coach Shelly. It was very fun and festive 🎄

We then worked hard in order to get smart to create a backdrop for our expedition display work. We carefully mixed paint 🎨 to create different shades of blue and blended this beautifully 😊

After lunch we heard some 🔔 ringing in the corridor 🎅🏼 Santa parked his sleigh 🛷 on the roof and delivered some special treats for us 🍭

Friday ✅ Another great week in Foundation 😊

The weeks are really flying by and today we sat as a Crew and reflected on our achievements so far. The list was incredible 🌟 We have been working extremely hard to develop our HoWLs (Habits of Work and Learning). At the end of day we will begin to assess ourselves from 1-4 in Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind. We will be thinking about our daily HOWL points and how we can ensure we’re a fabulous 4.

During Crew we have had some very honest discussions around Working Hard, Getting Smart and Being Kind. SJ was very reflective and said in order to improve his learning he is ‘going to focus on one thing at a time to concentrate better’. Such a fantastic answer SJ ☺️ You really thought carefully about how you can get to that Fab 4! We will start to update our HOWL tracker daily from Monday so watch this space 🏫

🌟 Star moments 🌟

It has been lovely to see some new friendships forming in Foundation. The children have settled well and developed Crew over the past four weeks. They love to sing our Crew song 🎶
