At the end of the day Crew Marsh circled up for crew time. It was lovely to hear members of the crew giving compliments to each other and being kind. Picking out peoples strengths and mentioning where people had made improvements today.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.1! 👍

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.2

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow, Crew Marsh need to chat less about thing that wont help with the task, save these chats for break time.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is Millie!

The crew voted for Millie again, they said she showed good listening, on task and completed all of her learning.

Here we are already; the final Monday of this half term, and we have had a jam-packed day in Crew Wilson!

Highlight of the Day:

Today we have finally finished our paper-mache trees  and they look amazing!. As we didn’t have a lot of time to finish them off, some children were painting, some were cutting leaves and some were gluing leaves on a conveyor belt type system, the highlight of this day has been watching the children work together as Crew to achieve their goal. I’ve seen so much kindness been demonstrated between the children, helping each other out and celebrating successes, well done!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This Howl goes to Bobby-J today for his fantastic input in our maths lesson, where we have learned about the greedy crocodile who always wants the greatest number, well done Bobby-J!

Get Smart: This Howl goes to Tommy F, as he has had some time off of school recently, but has come back today and got stuck in with everything like he hadn’t missed a single day, keep it up Tommy!

Be Kind: This Howl goes to Tia for being so kind and offering to tidy up the resources from our Theme lesson, well done Tia!

Howl Average:

2.9

We’ve had a bit of a dip from our 3.0 average on Friday – we have established that we are all tired, but have decided that we need to power through this week and work as hard as possible, then we can have a good rest in half term. Lets aim for those fabulous fours tomorrow!

Monday ✔

What a great start to our week! We have begun our Halloween celebrations by exploring the text, ‘Room on the Broom’. I’m sure if you ask the children they will be able to retell the story with great expression!

You can see the story here 🧙‍♂️

We also began to create our final expedition piece, a banner to celebrate what wonderful things we do at Carcroft. In the words of Shelby, ‘we want everyone to come to Carcroft School. It’s the best place to be’. We used our knowledge of shapes to begin to create the front of the school.

Our HoWL heroes today were:

Working Hard – Noah and Declan.

Noah and Declan worked ever so hard in RWI today, they confidently blended Fred’s words together to say the real word. Declan also asked to practise his handwriting after our RWI sesion had finished – he was certainly ‘getting smart’.

Being Kind – Dylan. Dylan was being kind today by looking after his crew base. Whenever he had finished in a learning area he made sure it was just as he found it, without being asked to do so! Great work Dylan 😊

Hi everyone,

We have had a brilliant day in Crew Gerrard today, with lots of hard work. I am really impressed with the attitude shown today and can’t wait to see even more improvements tomorrow. Our HoWL heroes are:

Working hard: Jolie 🦸‍♂️

Get smart: Sapphire 🦸‍♂️

Being kind: Evie 🦸‍♂️

Our HoWL average was 2.9!

Let’s make sure that we continue to improve tomorrow and beat our score from today.

Monday✔

Our HOWL heroes are…

Work hard: Frankie😁

Get smart: Mariama😁

Be kind: Lylah😁

Our HOWL average was 1.8 today. We’ve had a chat about how we can improve this tomorrow during our afternoon crew session.

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

Work hard: Olivia 🤣

Get smart: Lexie 😊

Be kind: Abigail 😘

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.2! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Well done Crew Kent 👍

Today, Crew Shields enjoyed setting up and completing an investigation in Science. They put a flower in water mixed with food colouring to discover how water transports through the plant. Over the next couple of days they will observe the changes.

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 they complete all learning to the best of their ability.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Work Hard hero today is Maddie!

Maddie has given 100% to all of her learning today and always tries her best. She is also working hard to ensuring her handwriting is consistent.

Yay! It’s finally FRIYAY! 🙌 We have had a very busy week in Crew Elmer this week and we are all very much in need of some rest this weekend! 💤 Let’s hope we all come back refreshed on Monday ready for our final week! ☀

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This was a tricky one for me to pick as I was out for most of the morning! However, just seeing all of the Crew smiling when I came back into the class and greeting me with lots of lovely comments was pleasing to see and really put me in the ‘Green Zone’ after feeling very ‘red’ and ‘blue’ this morning😊.

Today’s HoWL average is: 2.9

Another good HoWL average for Crew Elmer today! I think this means that we might get a spin on the wheel next week! 😁 Watch out Mr Tucker!!! 🤣

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.1

How can we improve this next week?

Next week, Crew Elmer need to make sure that they are following all of the HoWLS. It might be the last week of half term but it is crucial that we are still behaving as we would any other week of the year!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 🙌

Today I nominated Leo for ‘working hard’. At times this boy doesn’t always have a positive attitude towards his learning and often finds some tasks frustrating, but today Leo worked really hard in Maths. He participated well during the lesson and worked hard during our diagnostic 5 and fluency tasks. Excellent work Leo! Please can we see more of this Leo! 😊

Golden Ticket Winner for Handwriting: 📝

Learning legend: 🤩

This weeks ‘Learning Legend’ was Ryleigh! This girl doesn’t always get the recognition that she deserves during her time in school due to her quietness however this week she has really stood out to myself and her crew members. She has been ‘working hard’ in all lessons , even on Friday when we were learning about World Mental Health Day. She is also getting incredibly smart especially in Maths and her writing in The Write Stuff is really coming along and she is also trying really hard to get the Golden Ticket for her handwriting and presentation. Many of Rhyleigh’s crew members have also praised her for her kindness at playtimes and lunchtimes. It hasn’t been an easy time with Miss Hart not being here but this girl has really played her part and tried to keep the peace at crew play times so thank you for this Rhyleigh. Keep up the great work, you are often very hard on yourself but this week you should be feeling incredibly proud of yourself! Well done! 🥇👏👍🙌🤩

See below our exciting phase video to sum this week up! 👇

Crew Attendance: 

Our latest attendance was 93.3% This means that we are working towards the minimum expected standard (97%) this week! I wonder if we can improve this next week? Don’t forget the Halloween Challenge! 🎃
