Celebrating Success! 🥇🎉👏🏆

29th June 2023Sophie Elmer

This week in LKS2 we had lots of successes to celebrate in our LKS2 Community Meeting! We had three pupils who all achieved Learning Legend this week for being super mathematicians and blowing us all away with their recent arithmetic test scores!

We also celebrated all of those pupils who have been reading at home the most in each Crew, it was AMAZING to see so many pupils in Crew Thompson that had read 5 times in a week! I wonder if some others might be able to do this next week and if we can have more pupils to celebrate?! 📚

In addition to those pupils who read at home regularly we also chose a ‘Star Reader’ from each crew! This week the reasons were for, making great progress in reading fluency, participating lots during reading sessions and for excellent comprehension skills during assessment week. These pupils also got to have a special breakfast with Mrs Atherton today! I wonder who our ‘Star Readers’ will be next week?

Finally, we celebrated some extra special achievements. These boys have been working incredibly hard out of school! One for participating in a football tournament and the other for writing his own story linked to our Expeditionary learning! Fab work boys! Well done! 👏

Poetry

Today, Crew Shields have been practicing reading their poems aloud in preparation for them being recorded on a Monday. We have each other critique and explained the importance of speaking in a clear voice, at a reasonable pace and adding some expression in. We’ll have more time to practice to each other and in front of the class so when Monday comes, we’ll be ready to smash it.

Crew Welburn’s super readers!

I’m so proud of all of the children in Crew Welburn for trying their very best each and every day with their reading. Our books are becoming a little bit more tricky as we move further through the year, but everyone is challenging themselves to use special friends, Fred talk, read the word, to show how smart they are getting in their reading. It is lovely to see the children working in their pairs to support each other and to cheer each other on 🙌🏻

Books and Breakfast 🥐

I had the best start to a Thursday with our READING STARs from this week. We enjoyed a croissant and orange juice and then we chatted a little bit about reading and why we enjoy it. We then explored the library and had a little bit of time looking/reading some books . I am

incredibly proud ⭐️

A different kind of reading lesson…

22nd June 2023Emily Ibbotson

This morning, we carried reading on our novel ‘Holes’ which we are really enjoying. Instead of just answering questions we had a matching activity where we had to match the question to the answer. This was really fun and really got us thinking about what the question was asking us.

Also big shout out for some great text marking. We are getting so good at this now and it really shows we are understanding what we are reading.

This morning we had our first LKS2 Community Meeting where we invited the parents of those children who were our Learning Legends from last week! It was lovely to share each crews celebrations including ‘crew praises’, ‘HoWLs’, ‘attendance’ and ‘what we’ve done in our crew this week’, as well as ‘Reading Champions’, ‘Star Readers’ and ‘Learning Legends’. Well done to all of those pupils who received a certificate this week! 👏
