Hi everyone,

It’s been another great day today in Crew Gerrard. Your attitude to learning continues to impress me and your effort is fantastic. I know that we have some tired minds, but we have one more day before a well earned rest. It was difficult to choose the HoWL heroes for today, and they are:

Working hard: Tyler 🦸‍♂️

Get smart: Jolie 🦸‍♂️

Being kind: Ellie-May and Hassan 🦸‍♂️

Our HoWL average was 3.1!

I want to see that continuing tomorrow! 😆

Thursday ✔

Highlight of the day

Today we finished our instructions on ‘How to make a Diva lamps?’. It has been so lovely to see the children’s confidence grow over the week and they have produced some really beautiful writing ✍

HOWLs

Today our HOWL score dipped just below 3 to 2.9 ⬇️

Today our HOWL heroes were

🌟 Work hard – Milena for great effort in maths

🌟 Get smart – Theo for writing independently

🌟 Be kind – Charleigh for being understanding and kind

Tricky Thursday! Another testing day with numerous technical issues, delays and communication difficulties! However, we have had a successful day and managed to pull through, yet again! Luckily, today was the last of that and tomorrow I am back in the classroom! YAAAAYYY! 🤩

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s ‘Star moment of the day’, has to be the quality of the writing that the children produced in The Write Stuff today. The children had some great ideas again for ‘chotting’, especially Lily-Beth! I really don’t know where she gets her ideas from but they are fantastic! 🤩⭐ It was also lovely that so many of Crew Elmer wanted to read their sentences out to me and the rest of their crew! 👍🙌👏📝✏ I really hope we can keep this fab work up for tomorrow! 🤞

Todays HoWL average is: 2.9

Despite it not being the highest score this week it is still a good score for us and very reflective of how honest the children are with their HoWL scores as well the fact that we currently have two children off! I’m sure that tomorrow this score will improve! 🤞

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.3

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow Crew Elmer need to make sure that despite being in non-school uniform that they are working extra hard tomorrow enabling them to get super smart and achieve those 3’s and 4’s. As well as being kind of course! 💕 One more day Crew and it’s the weekend! 🙌

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Today Miss Clarke was back and picked Sienna for our HoWL hero for working hard in Maths this morning. It was lovely to hear how hard Sienna and Esme had been working as I didn’t get the opportunity to see this lesson today. I will be keen to see tomorrow how much progress the children have made in this subject since my absence! I’m sure it’s LOTS!

Non-school uniform: 

Just a little reminder that tomorrow to celebrate our class HoWL score last week and my return to school, the children are allowed to wear whatever they wish tomorrow as long as it is practical and sensible for indoor and out! See you tomorrow Crew Elmer! 😁

In Cojo, the children had to construct a town using some blocks, however, the town had a volcano, supermarkets, forests and water. They had to be able to reason why they had built their houses or factories in a particular place. The children were starting to use some good language to explain why their town was the best. They also asked questions of the other Crew before providing them with an I praise and I wonder.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.0

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

To improve further, Crew Shields need to ensure that we not allowing ourselves to be distracted by others.

Our Be Kind hero today is Holly!

Holly is a very quiet member of Crew Shields which means that sometimes all the kind things she does can go unnoticed. However, we all know she is always kind and today this shone through when she was praising the videos made during Expedition. Well done Holly.

My star moment today has been listening and watching the children in COJO, the idea was to create a town using the blocks for houses.. they however had some challenges to face such as a volcano. Well done Crew Marsh, it was amazing listening to your ideas and watching how you were all a team.

Average is: 3.1!

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

We have had a better but still slightly fussy day today, so I think our target for the week is for Crew Marsh to listen and follow every little instruction given. 👍

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Smart hero today is Jake !😎🙌👏

Jake has worked his socks off this week to make sure he is being the best he can possibly be. Well done Jake! You really have impressed us this week, keep it up!

A mixed day for Crew Longley today. We have learnt about the origins of giving, recreated some scenes from the Christmas story and looked at building a success criteria for our writing. We have also had moments where our presentation and effort have been below par. Hopefully a blip.

Today’s HoWL average 2.9

Our HoWL target is: 3

How can we develop  Tomorrow, we need to really focus on the basics of presentation, listening and reading the question.

Howl Hero

Our Hero today was Kaitlynn. Kaitlynn was chosen by the crew today for her kindness. She has continuously shown this across lessons and it was lovely to hear numerous people recognise this.

Homework.

Please remember to bring your reading and homework back tomorrow. It is lucky dip day!

Water Bottles

We have had an increasing number of children without water bottles. Unfortunately, we do not have any way of providing cups or bottles at the moment. Please could I ask that everyone brings in a water bottle. Thanks

A great improvement on our average today!
