We have had a brilliant first week back in Crew Wilson!

Highlights of the Week.

We have started our new expedition this week, focussing on different cultural celebrations. We have explored the story of Rama and Sita and how it links to Diwali, we have acted out the story with role play activities and are writing about the characters in our Write Stuff lessons. The children have responded so well to this new topic and we are very excited to learn more about Hinduism, Diwali and celebrations!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: Our work hard howl goes to Daisy today for using fantastic inference skills in our Book Talk lesson, well done Daisy!

Get Smart: Our get smart howl goes to April today for creating beautiful sentences to describe the Snail and the Whale, great work April!

Be Kind: Our be kind howl goes to Bobby-J today for his great attitude towards his teachers and his big beaming smile as he came in to the classroom, well done Bobby-J!

Howl Average:

We have ended the week on a 3.2 for our Howl average. A good start for our first week back but I am confident that next week we will be ending on a number a little higher. Great work this week Crew Wilson, enjoy your long weekend and see you on Tuesday for another fab week of learning!

Yay! 😄 It’s FriYAY! 🙌 After a very busy week lots of us were very happy this morning that today is Friday and we get two days rest! 💤

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be how hard the children worked during our arithmetic test this morning. The children all had their heads down and tried their best to answer each of the different questions. No children complained or got upset that they couldn’t answer the more challenging questions. Crew Elmer really showed resilience this morning. Great work Crew Elmer! 👍 Well done! 👏

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4

Today our HoWL average is back up there! 🙌 3.4! This is a great score to end the week! Well done Crew Elmer! 👏

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.3

How can we improve this?

After the weekend Crew Elmer need to come back refreshed and ready to work hard to enable them to get super smart!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 🙌

Today Crew Elmer had lots of praises for each other mainly around kindness at crew play times which was lovely to hear 💕 The HoWL Hero for today was Lily-Beth for being really kind and supportive to her crew members during maths today. Lovely work Lily-Beth well done! 👍⭐🤩

My star moment today is the children showing their resilience and hard work in their arithmetic tests that we have been completed today. I was very impressed to see what knowledge the children had remembered and how they applied it to a range of different questions.

Well done Crew Marsh – you made me feel very proud! 🙌

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4! 😊👌✨

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 2.7

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Next week, Crew Marsh again need to make sure they are not wasting learning time. We have been a lot more fussy today and it has had an immediate impact on the atmosphere in the classroom.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Be Smart hero today is Harlie!

Harlie is always trying her best in every subject and working hard to ensure that she is consistently getting smart. Well done Harlie, you make Miss Smith and I feel proud. 💕😁

It has been lovely being back in school with the children and hearing about the things they had been doing during half term. The children have settled back into our routines very quickly and we’ve had a really good week. As mentioned before, the children are becoming more confident in all subject areas and becoming more engaged in their learning. I really enjoyed reading the children’s writing this week as I could see the skills we learned before half term, filtering in to their writing.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.0

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this Next week?

Next week, Crew Shields need to ensure that they continue working on their listening skills so they understand the tasks they are being asked to do.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is: Chloe

Chloe has been a superstar in writing and I love reading her writing each day. She is starting to use prior learning in her writing and I can tell her confidence has grown.

A snippet of her writing today:
A huge tank exploded his space and thundering noises (playing  with rage) blasted his afternoon. He looked so annoyed but nothing would stop him from playing his big game. His mum entered the war zone. She gently opened the blinds and a blast of light brightened the room. 

Well done to our HoWL heroes today!

Head over to our expedition site to see more of what we’ve been up to!
