Crew Welburn’s Weekly Reflection

I have had the opportunity to read with some of our children this morning to see how well they are doing with their reading books. I was absolutely blown away with how confident some of the children have become with their reading! Their Fred talk and blending has improved so much an I can tell that they have practiced at home! We’ve had 12 children read 4 times this week which is fantastic Crew Welburn!

Our HOWL Heroes:

Work Hard: Lylah 🙌

Get Smart: Bronwyn🙌

Be Kind: Harry 🙌

This week’s highlights:

It is really hard to pick a highlight from this week as the children have been amazing in every lesson! Our science lesson really sticks out for me this week though. The children have been exploring the seasons and the weather and how it changes throughout the year. We’ve had some amazing vocabulary used in these lessons including Bronwyn’s use of  weather forecast to describe what a meteorologist was showing us. It is hard to believe that these children are only 5 and 6 when they come out with such fantastic vocabulary!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.2

This weeks HoWL average is: 3.3

Weekly HoWL target: 3

✨ Well done Crew Welburn! You have been superstars this week! 🌟

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 ‘work hard’ to ‘get smart’ too!

Thank you for your response. ✨


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. 🥰🙌

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.

Exciting News! 🤩

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 🌟

Crew Gerrard (18/11/20)

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! 😆
