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…🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Nursery Advent Calendar Song Day 3 ♥ How brave are they to stand and sing on the stage?! Well done ❤

The next song will be posted on Monday 🎄🎅

Hi everyone,

It’s been a really fantastic day in Crew Gerrard and, again, I am really proud of the effort that I have seen. The tests have been tricky, but I have seen a lot of perseverance. It was difficult to choose the HoWL heroes for today, and they are:

Working hard: Belle🦸‍♂️

Get smart: Tyler 🦸‍♂️

Being kind: Hassan 🦸‍♂️

Our HoWL average was 3.0!

Enjoy the extra break and I will see you all on Monday! 😆

Wonderful Wednesday! Despite doing test after test today we have still had some wonderful moments! 💕

Star moment of the day: ⭐

I am absolutely loving doing ‘Fix It Time’ this week! The children are really motivated to want to get smart quicker and this is shown in their great enthusiasm during these sessions. Today I was blown away with how on task, attentive and willing Crew Elmer were in wanting to improve their place value knowledge, enhance their arithmetic skills and ensure that their handwriting was correctly formed and joined. Well done Crew Elmer! 👏 I am sure that if we keep this up you will all be super smart in no time! 😁

Todays HoWL average is: 2.7

This is the same score as yesterday as despite Hannah returning our average still remained at 2.7. I think this is due to some children’s behaviours during tests today and also a few crew members being unkind at lunchtime today. Hopefully we can fix this tomorrow! 🤞

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.1

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Elmer need to be focused during their final day of tests and also remember to be kind to all crew members at all times.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Today Esme was chosen for HoWL Hero by Miss Hart and myself. Esme didn’t get involved in any unkind incidents at lunchtime and showed just how kind and mature she can be. I was also impressed with her enthusiasm during Fix It Time today and her willingness to want to improve her arithmetic skills. Excellent work Esme! You are a great role model to the rest of your peers in Crew Elmer! Well done! 🤩👏👍🙌⭐

Wonderful Wednesday 👏🏻

Highlight of the day 

The children have worked incredibly hard on their assessments today. Thankfully we also had some time to rest and reset our brains so we could keep going.

This afternoon we went out into the playground and made rangoli patterns with chalk! We had some truly beautiful designs! Did you see them at home time? Which was your favourite? 💮

HOWLs

Today our HOWL score was 2.9

A little bit of a dip so tomorrow we need to be really focused on our HOWLs so we can reach this weeks target.

Todays HOWL heroes were

🌟 Work hard – Harry for a brilliant effort in his assessments

🌟 Get smart – Preston for always doing his best to reach his expected standard

🌟 Be kind – Milena for always using her manners

Day 2.  Our toy of the past today is the Crayola crayon.

Did you know that during their first 40 years, each and every Crayola crayon was rolled by hand?

Another strong day for us today and some great work throughout the day.  Our highlight was during our expedition where we learned a little more about the Sikh’s sewa and what happens at the Langar.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.1

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can continue with the positive attitude that we’ve been showing all week.  Challenges are there to be overcome so it’s not a case of “I can’t do it” but “I can’t do it yet!”

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Work Hard HoWL Hero today is Harvey!

Harvey has had a good day today and this is down to his positive attitude throughout the day though.  His stand out moment has to be not only the focus he has put into his times tables but his pride and delight in scoring a personal best during our weekly checks!  Well done Harvey!

My star moment today is watching the children start their walk to the north pole! It felt like a a lot and I bet we all have tired legs now but we each managed to walk a mile!! 🎅🤶

Average is: 3.2! 🙌

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Again, I want the children to continue to make sure they are listening to every single step I am giving and following the instructions.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Smart hero today is Preston!😁

Preston has been a superstar all week and has tried his best all day everyday! Well done Preston, you have worked so hard and it is showing in your test results. You really are getting smart!! ✔👌

Crew Mcloughlin have worked their socks off today completing assessments! Well done crew, your hard work will all pay off. Our HoWL heroes today then…🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Nursery Advent Calendar song day 2 🎄🎅 This took 12 attempts but we got there in the end! We hope you enjoy it and well done to the children ❤

Come back tomorrow for Day 3 🌟
