What a super Friday to end our Spring term! Today, we finished our final assessment. I saw lots of determined faces during the test, which was great to see. Then we finished our plot point for our persuasive writing. I am happy to say that the challenge of increasing our pace was met – it was much better Crew Gerrard! Our HoWL Heroes are:

Work Hard: Kian for improving his handwriting during our English session – you concentrated so hard! 😁

Get Smart: Jolie for a superb plot point that was full of persuasive language! 😃

Be Kind: Skyler for helping out myself and Mrs Gilliland all day! 😄

Our HoWL average for today was 3.1 and was 2.9 for the week overall!

Have a lovely break Crew Gerrard and lets hope for a more settled summer term! 😆

Have a lovely Easter everyone, all the children deserve a well earned rest after the hard work they have put in this term!! Well done superstars!

WOW! I cannot believe that we have reached the end of Spring term! It definitely has not come without its challenges but as a Crew we have achieved a lot since Christmas. Have a well earned rest and a lovely Easter break and I cannot wait to see all your smiley faces in two weeks time! 😁🌼🐰

Star moment

Star moment today was spending time as a crew together, it has been lovely that we have been able to spend the day in each others company without the pressures of learning.

Average is: 3.6! 

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh’s target for tomorrow is to make sure that they are putting their hands up if they need something, we are starting to get out of our seats again far too much.

What a bizarre and quiet week we have had in Crew Wilson! Whilst Crew Welburn have been isolating, we have been in school working very hard! We have completed maths assessments, independent writing and have even got a head start on our final product in expedition!

We have also enjoyed having extra space in the playground, have collaborated brilliantly on different activities and have made the most of the sunshine that we have had this week!

Howl Heroes:

The whole crew are our Howl Heroes today – they have worked so hard since returning for this term, and even with the challenges we have faced they have been so resilient and focussed on their learning.

The progress we have made across all of our subjects has been phenomenal, and when I look back at our first pieces of work from September I am blown away and so proud of how far we have come as a Crew!

Howl Average:

We have ended the week on a 3.4! This week we have had less reminders than usual for working hard, getting smart and being kind, so we are really growing together as a Crew and it is wonderful to see.

Crew Wilson have definitely earned their break from school over half term, so please keep safe, be kind to each other and get plenty of rest (I plan on sleeping for a week!)

See you all in two weeks!

It’s Easter in Crew today!

We have had a lovely day celebrating Easter 🐣 We had yummy hot cross buns for breakfast this morning, lots of children tried something new and loved it!

Then we went and rolled eggs! Despite getting getting bit soggy in the rain we had a great time! Make sure you watch This Week in the Phase to see how much fun we had!

Easter bunny popped up at the window and hid eggs outside so this afternoon we went on an Easter egg hunt!

Such a lovely day of Crew time and we have lots of lovely memories! The children have worked so hard this term and deserve a good rest so that they can continue to work hard, get smart and be kind next half term!

Todays HOWL hero is Thomas! He has had such a wonderful day and is showing how he is getting smart by starting to use full sentences when he speaks!

We had a slightly sad morning crew session on Google Meet today in Crew Welburn…We had to say goodbye to two members of our crew 😔 Although we are really sad to see both Bronwyn and Nathan go, we know that they are going to be amazing in their new schools, and they are going to make so many new friends! Although we couldn’t do what we would normally do when we have to say goodbye to someone in our crew, we still wanted their last day to be special, so we put together some videos to help them think of all of the amazing memories they have made since September. Take a look at what we put together…🎬📽

Good luck Bronwyn and Nathan, we’ll really miss you both 🥰

Tomorrow we are celebrating Easter in our Crew so today we have been busy getting ready! We have made yummy chocolate crispy nests, decorated real eggs and finished our little chick’s! 🐣

Egg decorating was a great test of our fine motor skills, not only did we have to use our best pencil grip but we also had to draw on a round surface that wouldn’t stay still!

We worked as a Crew to make our crispy buns! Baking is such a good learning opportunity, without knowing it we were scientists talking about melting, mathematicians counting bits of chocolate and writers thinking about how we can describe the delicious, runny chocolate!

Today’s HOWL hero is Charlie-Jade. She was so kind during baking, passing the bowl to her partner to have a turn without even having to be asked! Such an amazing crew mate!

Thoughtful Thursday! We’ve had another day jam packed with assessments, in Crew Gerrard. We’ve been thinking carefully about our arithmetic and reasoning papers, in maths. We’ve also been continuing our persuasive letter in writing, which we are really working hard on. Today, our HoWL Heroes are:

Work Hard: Keegan for having such a fantastic attitude to his learning. You worked so hard in your writing and came up with fantastic ideas! 😁

Get Smart: Amelia for showing wanting to really improve in her writing and thinking carefully about how to do this! P.S. Thank you for the Easter egg 😃

Be Kind: McKenzie for helping your peers. You are such a team player and we’re lucky to have you in our Crew! 😄

Our HoWL average was 3.0 today and we have met our target. We pledged to pick up the pace in our writing tomorrow. 😆

Another fab day in Crew Wilson!

Highlight of the day: We have loved having the playground to ourselves today, and have worked together on lots of different activities in small groups. We have been so kind to each other today!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This goes to Perrie and Finn for their fantastic hard work in our maths reasoning test today – they both listened carefully to the question and took their time to work out the correct answers, well done!

Get Smart: This goes to Luke today for his brilliant listening skills and his writing improvement – Luke is trying so hard to make his work beautiful, well done!

Be Kind: This goes to Dalton today for looking after his crew in the playground and making sure everyone had someone to play with!

Howl Average:

3.3 – A great day for listening and working hard, we have had such fun! Let’s see if we can get our score even higher for the last day tomorrow!
