Hi everyone,
It’s been a great start to the week, where Crew Gerrard have worked really hard today, especially when it came to planning their independent writing. It was difficult to choose the HoWL heroes for today, and they are:
Working hard: Jolie🦸♂️
Get smart: Kian 🦸♂️
Being kind: Alicia🦸♂️
Our HoWL average was 3.0!
Let’s have more of the same tomorrow! 😆
My star moment today was watching the children create their Christingle, ask them to see if they can remember what each stands for? 👌✔🎁🍊
Average is: 2.8
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3!
How can we develop this tomorrow?
Tomorrow, again we need to make sure we are chatting less and concentrating more in all lessons.
Today’s HoWL Hero:
Our Be Smart hero today is Lottie!😁
Lottie really impressed me in our writing lesson today, she had some lovely ideas and made sure her handwriting was nice and neat! Well done Lottie! ✏👏😁
Nursery Advent Calendar Song Day 4. I’m sure you will agree the children all look absolutely adorable and have made me so proud how well they have learnt the songs. They certainly get me in the Christmas spirit 🎅🎄⛄
Hope you enjoy it, come back tomorrow for Day 5 ❤
We have had a great first day back in Crew Wilson!
Highlight of the day:
Highlight of the day has been our PE lesson with Coach Shelley. We learned a new dance to a Christmas song and got to show off our fabulous freestyle moves at the end!
I also want to shout out the whole Crew for their great effort in Write Stuff this morning, we have produced our most beautiful work to date, well done!
Howl Heroes:
Work Hard: This goes to Keira-Leigh for her great self-assessment today. Keira-Leigh knew her sentence wasn’t the best work she had done so she corrected it all by herself, well done!
Get Smart: This goes to Daisy for her amazing knowledge of the Nativity Story. Daisy could tell the whole class exactly what happened when the Angel visited Mary, well done!
Be Kind: This goes to Bobby-J for sharing his resources in our expedition lesson this afternoon. He waited patiently for his turn and was the first person to offer help to others, well done!
Howl Average:
We are currently at a 3.45, if we keep going like this all week we will definitely be earning a spin on the reward wheel!
The children have enjoyed Maths today because they were learning how to divide by 2. They were able to use equipment and their prior knowledge to help them solve problems.
This afternoon the children were amazed at the skill it takes to design and make a stained glass window. They were extremely impressed with some of the designs.
Today’s HoWL average is: 2.9
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0
How can we develop this tomorrow?
To improve further, Crew Shields need to ensure that we are continuing to work on our independence.
Our Working hard hero today is Loghan!
Loghan has had a really good day. Despite being off poorly last week, Loghan has really settled and completed everything he needed to do.
Today in crew Maths we have looked at dividing by 10. We used base ten equipment and money to support our learning.
In our Writing today we began to plan our Independent write. We have looked closely at the story “Holes” and how the main character was feeling. We have “chotted” down our ideas ready to stat writing tomorrow.
We then began to plan our final expedition piece using our knowledge on “making a stand”.
Our HOWL average today was 3.7! Keep up the good work x
Monday ✔
Highlight of the day:
Wow what a super day we have had today! We have worked so hard as a crew today, especially in writing when we only had 1 adult to help us. Despite this, we all wrote an amazing sentence and came up with some fantastic ideas. I’m so proud of all of you today Crew Welburn 😆😆
Work hard: Harriet 👏
Get smart: Nathan 👏
Be kind: Harrylee 👏
Our HOWL average was 3.5 today. What an amazing score Crew Welburn! 😊
Thrilling Thursday! Today the children all felt a great relief after completing their final test today! 🤗 Well done Crew Elmer for working incredibly hard and getting through all of the tests this week! 👏
Star moment of the day: ⭐
Today’s star moment of the day had to be our ‘Expedition’ lesson. I was super impressed that the majority of children could remember our key question and could also talk through the journey that we have been on so far to get to this moment. The children’s knowledge of Christianity and the Christmas story in today’s lesson also stood out. In addition, as part of some of the work that the children completed this week on Sikhism, the children enjoyed completing a Bollywood style dance today! Watch this space for the final video! 🎬📽📼
Todays HoWL average is: 3.0
We haven’t quite matched this week’s HoWL target…however this is an improvement on yesterday and this week, with 3.0 being the highest score that we have achieved. This is ‘expected’ standard so I am happy with this 😊 Well done Crew Elmer! Hopefully we can improve this a tad more next week and hopefully get that spin on the wheel! It’s been a while since we ‘cream pied’ anyone! 😂
This week’s HoWL target is: 3.1
How can we develop this next week?
Crew Elmer need to ensure that all crew members demonstrate a positive attitude towards their learning at all times, and on top of that ensure that they are being kind to not only themselves but also classroom equipment.
Today’s HoWL Hero:
Today’s HoWL hero went to Ray! This was incredibly well-deserved! 🙌 Today was Ray’s first day back this week and as soon as he entered the door (after being greeted with a HUGE smile by everyone 🤩) he was bombarded with test after test 📝 but he took this in his stride and sailed through each and every test! As a crew we all admired this and praised how hard he had worked. Just one more test left for Monday Ray! That is if Buddy the Elf hasn’t ripped it up! 😂
Additional Work:
The children have been provided with a number of resources to complete at home tomorrow including some reading, punctuation work and a sheet to develop their arithmetic skills. Please support children with completing these as required and return to school on Monday. If you have any queries then please send me a Dojo message.
Have a lovely long weekend! 🎄🎉😁📒✏
