Wonderful Wednesday! Today has been such a lovely day! 😊💕 I’m not sure if it was because I have taught more lessons today with Miss Clarke being off or because Crew Elmer have been little angels today! 😇

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s ‘Star moment of the day’, has to be The Write Stuff! I haven’t had the opportunity to teach English since my isolation period began due to childcare issues and Miss Clarke wanting the experience so it was lovely to be able to lead it today! The children really blew me away with their ‘chotting’ and the ideas that they generated. I was also so impressed with how much some of the children had written! Leo, Harley and Lacey showed me their books on screen and it was definitely a WOW moment! 🤩 Well done Crew Elmer! 🤩😁😬🙌👏👍⭐📝 I’m already excited about teaching The Write Stuff on Friday! Even if we do have visitors watching! 👀

Todays HoWL average is: 3.1

This is an improvement on yesterday so well done Crew Elmer! I could tell from listening to the praises at the end of the day that the whole crew have been really kind to each other today which is great! 💕 I loved how Hannah helped Harley read his sentence today and how kind Leo had been whilst sitting next to Hannah! This is the Crew that I love to see! 💕

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.4

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow Crew Elmer need to be just as kind today and more children need to be achieving Green Standard in a number of lessons to secure a ‘4’ for their HoWLs.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Today I actually got to choose the HoWL hero! 😬 I chose this young lady because in The Write Stuff this morning she had her hand up lots and contributed lots of great ideas. I was also impressed with how hard she worked at making sure that her writing was presented beautifully, that her spellings were spelt correctly and that she included all of the elements and lenses to ensure that she achieved Gold Standard. I also loved the lovely smile that came along with her when she presented her book to me in front of the laptop! For all of these reasons I chose Lacey-Niia! I hope that you have gone home bursting with pride because you truly deserve to be proud of yourself today Lacey-Niia. Well done! 👍👏⭐🙌🤩📝✏📒

Buona sera,

Another busy day for us today but there is a clear star moment.  Each week we practise our times tables and complete a quick check.  We have all improved so much that everyone should be proud.  That most of the crew managed to score a personal best for the term speaks volumes to their efforts and determination to be the best that they can be!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can continue to listen carefully to instructions to help us to get smart.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart HoWL Hero today is Ellie!

It’s been a great day for Ellie who continues to produce beautiful work and is constantly striving to surpass her minimum expectations.  What she should be most proud of today though is her times tables knowledge.  She has persevered and practised and is now reaping the rewards.  Keep going, Ellie!

Well today has been a very hectic but amazing day down in crew Godson. We started the day by finishing off our Gruffalo invitations, making scrambled Snake jelly, cutting and making our own character hats and re reading the Gruffalo story to ensure we were all ready for a Gruffalo celebration in the afternoon.

We did all this whilst also following our regular timetable of phonics, writing and maths! Don’t be surprised if all the children are in bead early tonight. They have worked incredibly hard! 🌟🙂

The children loved the afternoon and had so much fun.

Today was Gruffalo party day and what a great time we had! Party prep began by making our Gruffalo crumble buns and scrambled snake jelly. We had made our gruffalo hats to wear, each child had chosen their favourite character they wanted on their hats and cut them out independently. They did a great job!

We had so much fun tasting roasted fox sausages, our crumble buns and scrambled snake jelly. We sang the Gruffalo song and then danced to some party songs. It was great to hear the children all say they had a good time and to see them enjoying themselves 💕 They have all thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story and have remembered it so well, I am so impressed. We just have a few more pieces of work to do based on The Gruffalo before we move onto our new text next week…. 📖

Half way through the week and its been another busy day!

Highlight of the day

The highlight of today has to be our writing. ✍ Today we continued with our instructions and produced some really clear writing and beautiful work.

HOWLs

Today our HOWL score was 3.1, we are well on our way to reaching our weekly target 😀

Today our HOWL heroes were…

🌟 Work hard – Charlie R for a great attitude towards phonics

🌟 Get smart – it was too hard to separate two children today so we had to gave two!

Freddie and Preston for excellent instruction writing

🌟 Be kind – Catalina for always been helpful to adults during phonics

Today, we could’ve given anyone HOWL hero… but the lucky 3 were:

Work hard: Roxanne 👩

Get smart: Skyler 🧑

Be kind: Keegan

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.2! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Hi everyone,

We have had a great day today in Crew Gerrard. We have been working hard today and I am really proud of the effort everyone was putting in. Your determination, especially to make your writing as strong as possible, is really pleasing. It was difficult to choose the HoWL heroes for today, and they are:

Working hard: Zane🦸‍♂️

Get smart: Lucas 🦸‍♂️

Being kind: Emily 🦸‍♂️

Our HoWL average was 3.3!

I want to see that continuing tomorrow! 😆

Choosing todays HoWL heroes was a tough decision to make but the worthy three are…

Lets have another fantastic day tomorrow Crew Mcloughlin!
