We have had a lovely day in Crew Mcloughlin! Everyone has worked so hard it has been a tough decision to make…

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

Work hard: Mckenzie 🍗

Get smart: Lexie 🤣

Be kind: Keegan 🍔

Learning Legend: Maxi 👌

Golden Ticket: Deacon 🎟

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 2.7! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means. However we really need to improve attendance in order to increase our HOWL average!!

Well done Crew Kent 👍

Teachers are spending the day planning and researching their next expedition for the Spring Term. They are busy thinking about what the children need to learn and researching this to improve their own knowledge and understanding of specific areas. In addition, they are busy thinking of ways to make the learning engaging for the children. A productive planning day for all involved!

Foundation Stage are just playing about with their provision in the classroom to make it an even better place to learn for your little ones

Thanks to parents for your support and we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. 🥰🙌

A busy week and day full of reading, maths, writing and dance today. One of our favourite days of the week.

Today’s HoWL average 3.1

Our HoWL target is: 2.9

How can we develop  Continue to focus on reading the question and making sure we are answering it correctly.

Howl Hero

Our Hero today was Isabella. She has really worked hard to develop our new dice skill this afternoon.

Crew Elmer beat their average HoWL target last week! 🤩 Frankie got to spin the wheel and the prize that we have received is a ‘non-school uniform day’. I thought it would be a lovely idea to do this on Friday 27th November (which is when my isolation period ends and I will be returning to work)! The children can literally wear whatever they want (fancy dress, onesie, party frock etc.) 🧛‍♂️🎅👼👗👖👕 as long as it is practical for the classroom and outdoor play. I can’t wait to see what the children choose to wear! 😬

Wonderful Wednesday ✅ Nursery have blown me away today with their fantastic enthusiasm towards their learning 🌟We continued celebrating World Nursery Rhyme week by singing another one of our favourite counting songs ‘5 Little Ducks’ 🦆 The children are really getting good at counting using songs. Singing is such a great way to learn and fun too 🎤

During Literacy we looked at the story ‘The Gruffalo’ again and all I can say is WOW! The children used the story spoons to get into character and repeat phrases from the book. We have only been looking at this text since Monday and I cannot believe how well they have remembered specific vocabulary from the story. Fantastic work 🌟 We then went into mark making and drew the mouse. They produced some beautiful drawing and as always, they were so proud of their work and all put in so much effort.

HOWL Hero

Being Kind – Charlotte

Charlotte quite often takes on the role of mother hen and she can often be seen helping other children fasten their coats or find their peg. She is so caring and kind, well done Charlotte 🌟

Hi everyone,

Today was a really enjoyable day in Crew Gerrard. The children have been fantastic with their effort to work hard and have really wanted to make sure that they do their best. They have shown a great desire to learn new things, such as factors in maths. We need to make sure that we do this consistently. It was difficult to choose the HoWL heroes for today and they are:

Working hard: Ellie May🦸‍♂️

Get smart: Amelia 🦸‍♂️

Being kind: Hassan 🦸‍♂️

Our HoWL average was 3.3!

Well done and make sure that you come back refreshed on Friday! 😆

Wild Wednesday! It has been another crazy day in Crew Elmer today! The children have been very busy learning about all sorts of different things today!

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s ‘Star moment of the day’, has to be completing the Multiplication Tables Check online with children. Normally the children do this independently on their laptops but today I got the opportunity to speak to them and complete this on a 1:1 basis. Some crew members got some excellent results such as Harry who scored 23/25! 🤩 It has also enabled me to see which times tables some children need to work on in ‘Fix it’ time next week. If any parents would like to know which times tables their child needs to work on then drop me a Dojo message and I will let you know!

Todays HoWL average is: 3.3

Well done Crew Elmer! We are doing really well at keeping above the ME of 3! 👍

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.4

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Some crew members need to make sure that they are being really honest with their HoWL scores. It is hard for me to share my opinions on the scores given as I only see a snap shot of the day so I just hope that we are all being honest. If you have been talking when someone else was, or said something unkind to someone then that is unkind and should be a ‘3’ not a ‘4’. Remember that 4’s are only awarded for excellence! ⭐

Today’s HoWL Hero:

This afternoon was very busy in Crew Elmer so for the first time we actually didn’t have time to listen to any praises 😕 However, Miss Clarke chose Esme for ‘working extra hard’ and I had to agree with this as Esme has been doing a lot of extra work at home including writing out her times tables, writing a newspaper report and reading every night including the weekends. Great work Esme! Well done! 👏🙌👍⭐✏📒📝📚

My star moment today was watching the children be create their newspaper articles, it was so lovely seeing how much pride the children had when writing out their work. It was lovely to see everything pull together.

Average is: 3.3 😊

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.7!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

On Friday, Crew Marsh need to continue to work on their fidgeting.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Smart hero today is Lottie!💕👏

Lottie has been working really hard in class over the last two days and made sure if she is unsure of something she asks for help in order to get smarter. Well done Lottie, keep it up!!

Reminder: Have a lovely training day at home tomorrow, and cannot wait to see you all on Friday!
