Good evening,

Day 3.  Our toy of the past today is Monopoly.

Did you know that the longest game of Monopoly ever recorded lasted for 70 days?  Can you imagine the cheating that took place during that game?  And the arguing?  Or is that just my games…

This morning we enjoyed our experience of Bollywood dancing and will be looking to practise this some more over the coming weeks.

Today’s HoWL average is: 2.5

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

I wonder if…

I wonder if any parents are brave enough to challenge their children at the multiplication checks.  Breakfast in bed for the winner perhaps?

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Kind HoWL Hero today is Tyler!

Tyler is always kind and always sets the example when it comes to looking after each other but today he has outdone himself.  During a piece of drama, he recognised that one of his crew mates was struggling a little and stepped in to help without a word from anyone else.  We could all use a friend like Tyler!

Good evening everyone.

Today the children have completed this weeks assessments in style! They have been amazing this week and have worked so hard. They have shown real resilience and work ethic. I am immensely proud of each of them! 🌟😁

Today the children let off some steam during their PE session by playing bench ball. It was very entertaining and gripping to watch. 🏐 Dare I say it “better than football” 🙊 They had to ensure they worked as a crew to pass the ball 3 times before trying to score. This seemed harder than it sounds at times. 🧠 The children had to communicate between each other and work as a team. 🤾‍♂️🤾‍♀️

We finished off the day by practicing out times tables during our IT session. We logged on to timetables.co.uk and in pairs worked through the challenges. It was such a fun and easy website to navigate all the children were excited to learn. 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

Have a lovely long weekend Crew Kent. You have worked your socks off this week. 🧦 See you Monday. Miss Ferguson x

 

 

A busy end to a busy week. We had a rather messy visit from the elf, completed our assessments, ran to the North Pole and began writing our independent version of the story.

Golden Handwriting Ticket

Our lucky hand writer was Ruby. Well done!

Homework.

This week 50% of our crew read all week and completed their homework. These lucky crew mates had a lucky dip today.

My star moment today is watching the children carry out their drama to show me how the Three wise men gifted to Jesus, this was to help us understand the origin of gift giving. See if they can remember why they gave Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. ✨👍

Average is: 2.8

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Next week, we need to make sure that we try not to be as chatty! This has increased the more we have got excited for christmas, however we still have lots of learning to squeeze in before we break up.

Highlight of the day

We have been blown away today by the children’s continued hard work in their assessments! Some of the scores have knocked our socks off 🧦

We also did our Club 11’s, some children have made it to Club 33 already! Meaning that they have progressed to a new club every week!

Highlight of the week

We have loved seeing how creative our children are this week! In between all their assessments the children have been able to express themselves with rangoli patterns which were beautiful!

We also had a lovely morning with Reverend Paul. It gave us lots to think about and started us thinking about the world around us! Hopefully we can start to answer some of the questions on our walk next week!

What a productive day we have had in Crew Godley today, the children have worked so hard to show me that they are getting smart. We had such a jam packed morning which consisted of –

-2 miles towards our trek to the North Pole, that’s right, two whole miles! They children were fantastic and were treated with a biscuit and juice for working so hard.

-Handwriting – we showed some fantastic, mature attitudes towards this 😊

-Shared story and writing activity ⭐

-Number formation practice 🔢

-RWI

I was amazed we fit so much in, the children worked so hard, we will be certainly ready for Year 1 😊

This afternoon we continued with our expedition learning and explored what it means to be part of a family, just like the Stickman and how we might feel if we were lost. We spoke about how it is so important that we know where we live. Some of the children blew me away that they knew their addresses! This is super clever and I wonder if more children can learn their addresses over the Christmas holidays 🏡

Todays special advent treat is brought to you by Lydia and Kyla.

HoWL Heroes

Our HoWL heroes today are:

Being Kind – Noah was extremely kind today and showed lovely praise towards his peers.

Work Hard – Teddy wrote his name today, focusing so carefully on his letter formation.

Get Smart – Roseanne used her phonics skills today on her writing and wrote the initial sounds she could hear independently.

HoWL average today was 2.65.

We need to improve this next week by ensuring we are following instructions first time and working hard at all times to ensure we get smart! We have shown what we can achieve this morning if we work hard so we need to keep it up 😊

Have a lovely weekend everyone 🎄⛄

It’s been a busy day in Crew Shields with finishing off our assessments. The children have really demonstrated their resilience this week by giving all of their assessments a good go and it has filled me with pride watching them using some of their prior knowledge and strategies.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.0

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Next week, Crew Shields need to ensure they are focusing on their own learning and not becoming distracted by others around them.

Our Be Smart hero today is Ruby!

Ruby worked really hard in her reading assessment today. She was underlining key words and scanning the text to help her find the answers.

Thank you to parents who have bought their child’s brochure! They have taken these home today. Alongside this, they have taken arithmetic work to complete tomorrow to work from home. This is mostly maths they have been taught in class- if your child doesn’t know the answer I have told them to leave it blank. The children can also go on timestables.co.uk and continue earning virtual medals as I know they are loving this at the minute.

So our HoWL heroes today are…🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️
