Monday ✔
Highlight of the day:
We have had a lovely day in Crew Welburn today! The children were fantastic this morning during their dance lesson in PE! They all tried so hard and we can’t wait for our next session.
Our HOWL heroes are…
Work hard: Lylah 👏
Get smart: Mariama 👏
Be kind: Kairen 👏
Our HOWL average was 3.4 today. Well done Crew Welburn!
Thank you to the 12 families who has completed the home learning tasks set last week 😊 The children had a lovely time in crew this morning showcasing their hard work at home 🙌🏼 This week the children have brought home their home learning in a book so you can record work in there if this is easier 📚 New work will be added every Monday, the children will be asked to put their books in the special home learning box each Friday when this is completed, this will help with routines when the children move into Year 1.
The children have also brought home a letter regarding RWI progress. This shows you where your child is currently working at. If your child is working below the expectation, we have seen the impact that parental support has had over the last few weeks in order to help catch the children up. We really appreciate your support and together we can close the gaps. The keyrings sent home last week will support your child in recognising their sounds. These sounds are read speedily and should take no longer than 5 mins per night to go through. Thank you all for your continued support.
Today we have worked incredibly hard on our new text, ‘The Gruffalo’. The children have enjoyed retelling the story and creating their own Gruffalo’s complete with labels! Absolutely brilliant work!
In PE we worked hard to follow instructions to create our own dance moves to ‘I’ve got a feeling’. I’m sure the children would love to show you! Watch a little snipet below 😊
Shelby and Lydia sparked a lovely discussion around the Foodbank donations, thank you for your generosity. The girls were able to articulate why they had brought the items to school, you are so kind and thoughtful girls.
HoWL Heroes
Getting Smart – Shania.
Shania absolutely blew me away today with her phonics! She has recognised an additional 12 sounds! This is absolutely amazing! More so, Shania’s mum has said how she has practised these every evening, we are so proud of you!
Getting Smart – Victor
Victor has made fantastic progress with his phonics, he is beginning to recognise sounds and write these. Well done Victor, keep up the great work!
It was a tough decision in Crew Mcloughlin for todays HoWL heroes but the lucky three were…
Today in Crew Shields, we have enjoyed working on equal groups in Maths. This allowed us to make links with out multiplication and nearly everyone accessed a reasoning question today. This is amazing! I am very proud of the learning attitude we had in Maths today and hope this continues for the rest of the week,
Today’s HoWL average is: 2.9
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0
How can we develop this tomorrow?
To improve further, Crew Shields need to ensure they are actively listening and not fiddling.
Our Get Smart hero today is Georgie!
Georgie is being very proactive with her learning because she is constantly practicing the skills we learn in class at home. She has even been teaching her little brother and has brought me in writing, maths and science learning she has done in her own time. Georgie clearly understands that to get smart she needs to practice at home. Well done Georgie!
Today, we could’ve given anyone HOWL hero… but the lucky 3 were:
Work hard: Kelby
Get smart: Sophia
Be kind: Chloe
🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.1! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.
Well done Crew Kent 👍
Fun Friday!
Highlight of the day
It was so lovely to see all the children all cozy in their pyjamas and snazzy in their spots today! 🛌🏻 Everyone did an amazing job helping to the Carcroft Crew towards raise a fab fundraising total for Children in Need.
Highlight of the week
This week we have been learning all about the Hindu festival of Diwali. The children have learnt about the story of Rama and Sita as well as making diva lamps like at the end of the story. 🪔 Our favourite part of this was our Diwali dance session. Keep your eyes peeled for This Week in KS1 for all the pictures! 🥻
We also had some really wonderful conversations in Crew this week about remembrance. The children showed how mature they are becoming by asking meaningful questions and showing respect throughout.
HOWLs
Our HOWL score today was 3.1. This means that our weekly score is 3.1! Well done Crew 👏
Today our HOWL heroes were
🌟 Work hard – Charleigh
🌟 Get smart – Catalina
🌟 Be kind – Taylor
Friday ✅ Another fantastic week in Crew Godley. Today was Children in Need, the children looked fantastic in their pjs and pudsey clothes 🐻💛 We had some lovely discussions around how we could help those less fortunate than ourselves. I’m so proud we have such caring and considerate children in Foundation stage. SJ and Shania blew me away with their suggestions, I often forget our children are only four and five as they as so caring and considerate of others.
We have started practising our production which will be shared during the Christmas period. The children have already learnt one song this week which will make you smile 😊 compete with makaton signs 🥰 we are so proud of them and we can’t wait to showcase our final expedition piece. Although we won’t be able to do a Christmas performance, we have come up with a plan to get round this so we can still get into the Christmas spirit🎅🏻
Don’t forget to bring your homework sheets back on Monday and there will be treat jar rewards for those that have completed it!
Have a great weekend everyone 💕
Another good week for us! We have continued to develop our HoWLs and have even extended our skills when looking at how to reduce waste with some basic cooking skills when it came to the start of our new expedition of learning. Our Children in Need day today was also a lot of fun and we ended the day with a rendition of Mamma Mia. Play it at home and see for yourselves!
Today’s HoWL average is: 3.2
Our Weekly HoWL average is: 3.1
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0
I wonder if…
I wonder if the start of our expedition this week has inspired anyone to try their hand at some baking or cooking over the weekend. There were a few that sounded like they were going to try to!
Today’s HoWL Hero:
Our rollover Work Hard HoWL hero from yesterday is Troy!
Troy continues to develop in confidence and continues to focus on his own learning and his next steps to help him to understand problems he comes across, especially in maths. It’s hard to ask for help sometimes and it’s great to see that Troy isn’t afraid to do this anymore. Well done!
Our Be Kind HoWL hero today is Maddie!
Well done for a great day, Maddie! She has listened to others and has worked hard to ensure that everyone in our crew feels valued and is a friend to all. She has also shared some thoughtful praise to another crew when providing feedback.
Learning Legend:
Freya!
What a week back it’s been for Freya! She has listened to feedback and has worked hard to act on it. She takes pride in her work and makes every effort to produce beautiful work which, coupled with using feedback to reach her ME, is helping her to get smart. If this wasn’t enough, she will always try to be kind to everyone and often uses her confidence to help to resolve differences when they occur. Thank you for showing us how to be better versions of ourselves, Freya!
