Are we sure it’s only Tuesday?! We have had a very busy but tiring day in Crew Elmer today and we sure are ready for half term!

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Two spring to mind today! One being how kind Crew Elmer were towards our trainee teacher Miss Clarke today as it was her birthday! 🎈 The children sang, made her a card and said sent lots of well wishes her way. I really think we made her birthday is school a good one and one to remember! Well done Crew Elmer! 👏

The other ‘Star moment of the day’ was PE this afternoon. The children were challenged to run for 4 minutes without stopping and I was really impressed with the stamina of some children. When they first did this in September lots of children gave up too easily and did not have much resilience…but today I was blown away with how much progress the children had made in a short space of time and were able to run the 4 minutes easy! Rowen, Lacey-Niia and Hannah you are just a few of the ones that stood out to me. I was particularly impressed with how you kept up with me, even when I challenged you to sprint the final minute Hannah!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.3

WOW! 🤩 We are on a roll this week Crew Elmer! Keep this up to the end of the week please! 🤞

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Tomorrow Crew Elmer need to make sure that they continue to work hard, get smart and be kind at all times! If we can repeat today that would be fab! 🙌

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Today Crew Elmer had LOADS of praises that they wanted to give to each other starting from first thing this morning which was great to see! Crew Elmer jointly nominated Kacey-Leigh for ‘working hard’ ALL day! I also recognised this! The quantity and quality of work that she produced in our core subjects today as well as Expedition and PE blew lots of us away! Excellent work Kacey-Leigh! Well done! 😁👍🙌

We’ve had lots of great, independent learning happening today! Even though we’re all super tired, we’re powering through!

Work Hard: Chloe

Get Smart: Ebony

Be Kind: Issac

HOWL average today was… 2.7

Team work has been the motto of today! We have shown we are ‘Crew’ in so many ways ☺️

It was great to observe our children working independently as a crew to play outdoor games. Normally the games we play need a lot of adult interaction, today the children amazed me by working collaboratively with very little support 🤩 The children were able to solve their own problems and work our solutions. It made me so proud that they were able to do this at such a young age.



We continued to work on our expedition today and there was some fantastic role play taking place! See if you can guess what they children were pretending to be 🚗

SJ the Lollypop Man

Today as a crew we loved eating jam sandwiches in our writing lesson. Eating the sandwich meant that we could really describe how the miners would have found eating their sandwich after a long shift down the pit.

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.3! 👍

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 Sophia!

The Crew recognised that Sophia has been working really hard all day and that Sophia always works hard and therefore this will make sure that she will get smart. Well done Sophia, Crew Marsh is proud of you!

Another great day. We have begun to look at subtraction and using the column method. We have also been exploring road safety in Crew.

Today’s HoWL average 3.1

Our HoWL target is: 2.6

How can we develop  Crew Longley really need to continue getting smarter by reading each day.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Howl hero today is Layton

We have been blown away by Layton’s attitude in phonics and his smile was massive tonight when he showed me that he could read all the sounds he had been working on with Miss Holdsworth!

RWI Reading

Yesterday we had 10/14 people read. This is heading in the right direction!

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

Work hard: Kelby 👩

Get smart: Chloe 👩

Be kind: Sophia 👩

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 2.9! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Well done Crew Kent 👍
