Wednesday ✔

Highlight of the day

Today we thought a lot about remembrance and had some really meaningful conversations. We learnt about why the poppy is the symbol of remembrance and read Flanders Field.

We thought a lot about the people who made the ultimate sacrifice to give us our freedom. We talked about the sacrifice made at home as well as in battle and the soldiers we remember now as well as in the World Wars.

The children had some wonderful discussions and asked really good questions about remembrance and what it means.

HOWLs

Today our HOWL score was 3! Another good day crew!

Our HOWL heroes were

🌟 Work hard – Theo

🌟 Get smart – Jude

🌟 Be kind – Isaac

Another positive day for us today, building on the things that we did well yesterday and showing kindness and support towards each other.  Let’s keep this going!

We also joined the nation for the two-minute silence with maturity and sincerity, discussing the difference between Remembrance Day and Armistice Day.  We will remember them.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.1

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can continue to develop our writing skills and look to deepen the moment with greater independence by using our knowledge of the writing lenses.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is Ellie!

Ellie has had a great day and continues to take pride in her work and develop her handwriting.  She has also been working on her times tables and has done well to improve her scores in our weekly times tables test, well done!

Wonderful Wednesday ✅ Today we have continued with our work around the text ‘Owl Babies’ and the children have learnt some new DT skills making split pin owls. The children learnt how to make the wings move using split pins and also incorporated some maths by choosing the correct shapes for the eyes and the beak. Watch this space for the pictures of the finished products… 🦉🌟

The children are thoroughly enjoying learning about owls and today we discussed what ‘nocturnal’ means. Test your child and see if they can remember! We then watched a fantastic video of some baby owls hatching and learning to fly. We also watched a live owl camera where we saw the owls sleeping 💤

We are looking at a colour of the week, which is Yellow this week. We explored the colour making yellow collages and talking about yellow objects. The children are already showing great enthusiasm about their homework they have been set and some children have already brought something yellow in for our colour of the week, so well done!

We have had a wacky Wednesday in Crew Wilson and have had a great day!

Highlight of the day:

My highlight of the day has been another fantastic Write Stuff lesson – the children are working so hard on building their sentences and choosing brilliant adjectives, well done!

RWI Reading and Homework

Please could you remind children to complete today’s reading and homework.

Today we have enjoyed PE because we have been starting to look at some dance moves. We learned the importance of stretching and warming up before we take part in exercise. It is important to warm up our muscles so we don’t cause ourselves an injury. We look forward to exploring different styles of dancing over this half term.

Today’s HoWL average is: 2.8

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

To improve further, Crew Shields need to ensure that they are listening carefully so they know what is required when completing their learning.

Our Get Smart hero today is Lacey!

You’d never know that Lacey had just moved into Crew Shields this week. She has settled really quickly and has been trying really hard to learn our routines/structures. Lacey has come up with some great sentences in writing and tried her best. Well done Lacey.

Today we’ve remembered our heroes and celebrated Remembrance Day. We watched ‘Poppies’ on CBeebies and discussed what this meant. We then represented poppies in lots of different ways. We painted poppies, made collage poppies using the laminator and drew and labelled them too! We’ve worked so hard!

The children wrote some fantastic sentences in The Write Stuff today, we discussed the ‘feeling’ lense and how the owls might have been feeling.

We had so many HoWL heroes today who were demonstrating ‘green’ standard – working hard, getting smart and producing beautiful work ⭐️ They were:

Being Kind – Noah and Teddy
Working Hard – Evelynn, SJ, Zach and Summer
Getting Smart – Sydney

My star moment today was listening to the children show off how well they are remembering their 6 timetables! This really impressed! Well done Crew Marsh, lets keep this up!! ✔🎂👏👏

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4! 🙌✨

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0
