A fabulous Friday in Crew Flaherty today.

Highlights of the day:

It was lovely to see all the children supporting World Mental Health by donating and/or wearing yellow. The children have enjoyed sharing the things, places and people that make them feel happy.

Learning Legend

Our learning legend this week was Thomas  for striving to succeed in every lesson. Thomas has a positive attitude to his learning and applies his new knowledge and skills to his work. We couldn’t ask for anymore. You are a role model to others in your Crew. Well done Thomas, keep up the good work!

Handwriting Golden Ticket

Maria enjoyed her shake and cake this morning for improving her handwriting over the last couple of weeks. Well done Maria!

HOWLs

Our HOWL average for the day was 3.1. A great score today, well done Crew

Our weekly Crew average was 3.1. Unfortunately a little lower than last week. Let’s improve our listening skills next week and I’m sure our Crew average will increase.

What an amazing week we’ve had in Crew Godley ❤️ The children have exceeded expectations in so many ways. We have been developing Crews, working independently and using our initiative. The children have shown great resilience and worked together brilliantly.

To finish off the week we’ve celebrated ‘World Mental Health Day ❤

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Our ‘star moment of the day’ was when the children were listing which people and activities which made them feel happy 😊 It was lovely to hear so many thoughts and feelings being discussed so positively.  The children then created their own wellbeing handprints to be displayed on the wall in the hall! Watch this space for the final product! 🤩

We also did some mindfulness yoga 🧘 this helped regulate our breathing and develop our gross motor skills. It was great fun! We also thought about how we could help each other if we were feeling a little sad. We made our very own hearts ♥️ and made them magic by adding an invisible sting. If we are ever feeling a little sad at school all we have to do is think about our heart at home and it will make us smile 😊

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Lily-May for our ‘HoWL hero’ today, for ‘being kind’. Lily-May has helped her friends on numerous occasions today by finding coats, helping tidy provision areas and just being a little star ⭐️

We are so excited to see the children back in school in Monday, the EYFS crew have been very busy creating lots of opportunities outside for the children to develop their role play skills moving into our ‘People who help us’ expedition. Here’s a sneaky peak of what we’ve been up to 🚌 🚗 🧼

Have a fantastic weekend everyone 😊

We’ve enjoyed our #HelloYellow day today and have completed some thoughtful activities on kindness and how to look after our mental health.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.1

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can come back fresh after the weekend and focus on our get smart scores by listening carefully to instructions and each other.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Work Hard hero today is Lexi!

Lexi has had a great day today.  She has quietly focused on her work and this has helped her to get smart.  She continues to be a great example for us all!

Learning Legend:

We’ve been really impressed with your HoWLs this week, Troy, and your constant desire to improve in every way.  What has really stood out though is your growing independence, especially with your recent writing.  Keep using the three Bs before me to continue this progress, well done!

Friday✔

What a fantastic week we have had in Crew Welburn. The children have been kind and caring towards each other and have really shown that they are working hard 😁

Highlights from the week:

Expedition – DT:

Our expedition work has really hooked the children in this week. They have shown how well they can work in pairs to listen to each other and have worked really hard to create physical features for our community model.

World Mental Health Day:

The children have had so much fun today. We have learnt lots of different ways to help keep our minds healthy. We listened to each other’s ideas about how to make each other happy before printing our hands and writing these on, and we did some yoga to help us to clear our minds. The children really enjoyed yoga!

Our HOWL Heroes:

Work Hard: Harrylee

Get Smart: Bronwyn

Be Kind: Kyden

This week’s Learning Legend:

This week’s Learning Legend is Elijah.  Elijah has been such a fantastic role-model for our be kind focus this week in Crew Welburn. He always includes children in his crew so that they do not feel left out, he shows kindness towards adults by listening and following instructions, and he is always willing to do extra jobs to make sure out team base is tidy and ready for the next lesson. I couldn’t ask for anything more Elijah!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4 ✅

This weeks HoWL average is: 3.1 ✅

Weekly HoWL target: 3

What a wonderful week we have had in Crew Wilson 😁

We have learned so much throughout our lessons, here are some highlights!

Writing: This week we have been re-telling the story of the 3 little pigs. Our first plot point was all about describing the straw, and what the first little pig thought he could do with it. The Crew have created some fantastic sentences with a little additional support from the teachers, so next week we are focussing on independent writing and producing beautiful work!

Check out some of their work below👇

Theme: We had a great time in our Theme lesson making bird feeders to spread kindness to the local animals around Carcroft. We used toilet roll tubes, string, lard and bird seed to make the bird feeders, and whilst using lard was not anyone’s favourite part of the day (teachers included 🤮), the final products were great and the children know they have made a small difference to help their community.

We have also been making trees to add to our box model village. This involved sculpting chicken wire, wrapping with tape and adding pipe-cleaner branches. We will paper mache and paint next week. The Crew collaborated brilliantly as some people found it trickier than others, working together to overcome barriers and telling each other helpful tips, great team work guys!

Check out some action shots below👇

Mental Health Day: Today we wore yellow in support of Mental Health Day and undertook some mindful activities that helped the children relate to mental wellness. We discussed what makes us happy when we are sad, had a Sonic themed Yoga Session (Much to Finn’s delight!) and created a handprint rainbow that will be displayed along side the other crews in school.

Check out some of our work below👇

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This Howl goes to Daisy today, as Daisy has shown all of her teachers how hard she has been concentrating in every lesson to create beautiful work. Daisy always aims for Green Standard and is working so hard, keep it up Daisy!

Get Smart: This Howl goes to Debbie-Mae today, as she has demonstrated fantastic listening skills throughout the day and has been on task at all time, well done Debbie-Mae.

Be Kind: This Howl goes to Eva for being a superstar in the classroom. Eva always looks out for her crew mates and encourages people to work hard. Eva is also always kind to her teachers by looking for jobs to do to help out, fantastic work Eva!

Learning Legend: Jake has learned over the past few weeks how to share the air with his crew and is working hard on taking a back seat and letting others lead, which is really kind and compassionate. Keep it up Jake

Howl Average:

We ended the week on a 3.6, 0.2 points higher than last week, so we are on an upward trajectory! The Crew have worked fantastically all week, they definitely deserve to give their brains a rest over the weekend, ready to come back and smash it all again next week.

Well done Crew Wilson, you make me so proud every day!

FRIYAY 🙌🏼 Another week in Crew Nicholson that has absolutely flown by! I am so proud how well the children are now settled into school routine, making lovely friendships and I feel a real sense of ‘crew’.

Highlights from today: 

Today was ‘World Mental Health Day’ and the children looked fantastic in yellow 💛 We did some rainbow handprints, some yoga and talked about being kind and what that means. We passed around smiles to each other and were getting smart by thinking about different ways we could cheer someone up.

HOWL Hero

Being Kind – Oliver

Oliver was so helpful and helped sweep orange peel (that wasn’t his) off the floor after snack time without being asked. This was a lovely gesture and shows me that Oliver has taken on board what has been said about being kind and used his own initiative to do something kind. Well done Oliver 🌟

Outdoor DIY Makeover 

After the children had gone home, the foundation team worked together to start the process of enhancing our outdoor area. (I got to use a drill for the first time ever 😂) The new activities will link perfect with our expedition work where we will be looking at people who help us within our community. I can’t wait for the children to see it on Monday!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you all next week ❤️

Today, we we all dressed in yellow to support World Mental Health Day! In our crew time, we spoke about different types of mental health and what this looks like for different people. Myself, Mrs Rhodes and Mr McCusker are all so proud of how mature children were today, we had a few tears due to people sharing feelings and emotions, and the children were so supportive of each other! Giving each other hugs, trying to make each other laugh and flipping the negatives into positives. This was so heart warming and we all felt like we had become closer, learning more about each other. Today, we really saw and felt what it means to be crew!

Wow! What a week. We have been super busy this week, learning, creating, relaxing and being kind.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.4

Our Weekly HoWL average is: 3.0

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

How can we develop this next week?
