Crew Welburn’s Daily Blog 13.10.20

Tuesday✔

Highlight of the day: 

We practiced our paper mache skills again today, this time on our trees! We had lots of fun getting stuck up to the eyeballs with glue! We can’t wait to paint our trees tomorrow

Our HOWL heroes are…

Work hard: Kyden 👏

Get smart: Bronwyn 👏

Be kind: Harry 👏

Our HOWL average was 3.1 today. A little lower than yesterday but still great ✨

Crew Boswell – 13.10.20

We’re starting to become more confident when writing and showing more signs of our inner authors.  It was amazing to see so many trying to add a little more of their own ideas into their writing and I hope this carries on through the rest of the sessions!

Today’s HoWL average is: 2.4

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 2.8

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can come back fresh tomorrow and act on our pledges from the end of the day.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Work Hard hero today is Ryan!

Ryan has had a superb day today and continues to focus on his learning and what he needs to do to get even better at things.  His writing today was a definite highlight with improving handwriting and pace helping him to get smart too!

Crew Shields – 13/10/20

Crew Shields have absolutely blown me away with their writing today. I can really start to see their imagination shine through and they are starting to magpie ideas from their peers. It is pleasure to read their writing and definitely a part of the day I look forward to.

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 become more resilient when completing their learning.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is Chloe!

Chloe has had a few ‘wow’ moments in writing. It is very clear she is listening to the input which she then weaves her own ideas into. I really enjoy picking up her book to read her writing.

Crew Wilson Daily Blog: 13/10/2020

We have had a terrific (and wet!) Tuesday in Crew Wilson!

Highlight of the Day:

We have had a very sticky afternoon completing the next phase of our box model village – putting paper mache on our wire trees. Some children found this trickier than others so we had some fantastic collaboration going on, it is great to see our Crew working hard together to produce beautiful work!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This Howl goes to Perrie for always contributing positively to group discussions.

Get Smart: This Howl goes to Tia for using our new maths vocabulary correctly in the lesson, she has really taken this on board and is growing in confidence.

Be Kind: This Howl goes to Finlay for being a Crew Wilson superstar today and helping his friends when they found tasks difficult.

Howl Average:

3.2

We’ve had another dip in our average but I really appreciated the honesty of the children today, they have been very reflective and have actually told me what their target will be for tomorrow. They are really understanding what they need to do to demonstrate our Howl’s and are needing fewer reminders every day, so I am confident this score will soon shoot back up!

Crew Gerrard (13/10/2020)

Crew Kent Blog 13.10.20

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

Work hard: Sophia 👩

Get smart: Crystal 👩

Be kind: Kelby 👩

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.0We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Well done Crew Kent 👍

Crew Marsh: 13/10/20

In Crew Marsh today we had a fab writing lesson! I thoroughly enjoyed reading their sentences. Not only was their sentence quality good but the children did really well at chotting down their ideas. ✏

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.7! 🙌

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.2

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow, Crew Marsh need to make sure they are not getting out of their seats in learning time and if they need to, to put their hand up.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is Aaliyah!

Aaliyah has blown me away with how hard she has worked all day! She really has been a superstar and I am so impressed with her! Keep it up Aaliyah!😊

Crew Elmer Daily Blog 12.10.20

Manic Monday! 😊

Today has been very busy in Crew Elmer but we have all had lots of fun and most importantly learnt lots enabling us to ‘get smart’!

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today there have been many moments that I have praised in Crew Elmer… The first one being our ‘experience’ lesson in ‘The Write Stuff’ today. The children got to experience what it was like for a miner working in the coal mines all day! The children had to crawl under tables in the dark, carrying ‘coal’. The children also had a go at doing one of the jobs that the children would of done in the mines including a ‘putter’, a ‘getter’ and a ‘stopper’. The children were great at working in role, even if they did find it tough! They all very much enjoyed their reward which was a chocolate coin! Great experiencing Crew Elmer!

The second moment that blew me away today was our online ‘Parliament workshop’ with some lovely people who were actually IN parliament today! WOW! 🤩 They chatted to us about the different houses, coloured seats, prime minsters, petitions, laws etc. It was very interesting and the children learnt lots! They also aced the quiz at the end! 🙌 Well done Crew Elmer! 👏 You represented our school well! 😊

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4

WOW! 😁 This is a great score for a Monday and much better than last week’s score so well done! 👏 I wonder if we can keep this up all week and get a spin on the wheel?!….🤞

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow Crew Elmer need to be as FAB as they were today, ALL day! More days like this please Crew Elmer! 🙌

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Well… honestly… Miss Hart has been back for one day and she was asked to have the crew for the afternoon… when it came to chose our HoWL hero she had been away for so long and forgot to only choose one and chose 3! 🤣 Honestly Miss Hart! 14 days off and I leave you for one afternoon! 🤣 Therefore the three HoWL heroes are…

Lacey-Niia for ‘working hard‘ in expedition recording all of your fabulous answers from the meet and greet with our ex-miner last week. You had remembered lots and used your best handwriting to record your sentences. Well done! 👏

Ray for ‘getting super smart’. Ray achieved all 4’s in his HoWLs today and really blew the Crew and Miss Hart away with his knowledge in Maths and Expedition today! Excellent stuff Ray! 🙌

Leo for ‘being kind’. Leo was praised by his crew for his great help throughout our different lessons today! I know this will really cheer Leo up crew as he was feeling a little blue this morning so thank you for that! 😊 And of course well done Leo! Same again tomorrow please!

Crew Nicholson Daily Blog 12.10.20

Monday ✅ We have had a very busy day in Crew Nicholson today! The children come back to school after the weekend full of energy but by the end of the day we had some sleepy little heads 😴


This morning we started our day with P.E with Kixx. We had so much fun practising our gross motor skills whilst practising our colours at the same time! We are also getting fantastic at walking down to P.E in our smart straight line, I was super impressed how quickly we got to the hall today. Practice makes almost perfect 🌟

At story time we listened to the story ‘The smartest giant in town’. This linked perfect to the HoWL ‘Being Kind’ and the children were able to identify how the giant was kind and we discussed ways we could be kind to each other 🥰

HOWL Hero

Working Hard – Freya

Freya worked very hard in P.E doing excellent listening and working hard to practise her colours. Well done Freya 🌟
