We have had a brilliant week in Crew Wilson. The Crew have completed lots of learning, have been very kind to one another and most importantly have used their ✨listening ears✨ to get smart! Let’s keep it up!

My highlight of the week has been our expedition lessons, we have worked so hard to learn new skills to help us build our final product and are so excited to try them out next week!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This goes to Dalton for his fantastic effort in maths today, every single question I asked Dalton had an answer for – keep it up!

Get Smart: This goes to Bobby-J today for working hard at keeping his spellings on the line in phonics, great work Bobs!

Be Kind: This goes to Keira-Leigh, Perrie and Mia for all taking care of each other today when they were feeling sad, well done girls!

Howl Heroes:

3.7 – a really improved score for Crew Wilson this week, lot’s of the Crew received 4’s across the board today for their fantastic effort throughout the day, well done everyone!

Friday✅

What a fantastic Friday we have had in Crew Welburn! We started our day by really impressing the rest of school with our good sitting on the carpet for assembly, and then we got really smart in our phonics and reading lessons. Some of us even asked to stay in to do some extra practice!🌟

Highlight of the week:

The highlight of this week has been our expedition lessons. We’ve really enjoyed testing lots of materials to see which on will be best to make our castle with. We also really enjoyed our DT skills lesson this week where we got to practice the skills we would need to be able to create our castle.

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Frankie👏

Get smart: Scarlett 👏

Be kind: Harrylee👏

This week’s learning legend is Tiarna. Tiarna has been an all round super star in Crew Welburn over the past weeks and is working really hard in every lesson by listening to the adults and her friend’s ideas. She has also worked really hard on her handwriting in every lesson and is striving to get the golden ticket one day in the near future! Tiarna is such a polite member of our crew and goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone is happy and to cheer her friends up when they are sad. Keep up the good work Tiarna, we are all really proud of you!

HOWL Score: 3.1 Well done Crew Welburn! Keep it up!

This week’s HOWL average: 3.2 Amazing Crew Welburn!

Highlight of the day: We had a bit of a change to our timetable today and had expedition as our first lesson of the day. In this lesson we practiced design technology skills in preparation for creating our final product, and worked hard at scoring, cutting, layering and bending card. I was absolutely blown away at how amazing the Crew’s listening skills were, they worked so hard and collaborated brilliantly together! Our visitors were very impressed with our learning and we had a fantastic lesson, well done everyone!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This goes to Aleks today for his great work in expedition, Aleks listening carefully to the instructions and worked brilliantly in his group to practice those creative skills, well done!

Get Smart: This goes to Eva today for always being ready with an answer for every question I asked, and for using our working walls to help her remember what we have already learned about, great work!

Be Kind: This goes to Stevie today for being kind to her teachers by always being ready to learn, well done!

Howl Average:

3.9 – lots of 4’s across the board today, well done Crew Wilson! Let’s see if we can get a full house for the last day of our week 🙂

Tiring Thursday!

I’m not sure if it is my pregnancy or just these busy weeks but I have definitely felt tired today! It is reassuring to know that the children are feeling the same! Not long to go guys! The weekend isn’t far away!

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s ‘star moment’ has got to be Expedition. We had a great morning listening to our school nurse, Sarah, talk about dentists, teeth and mouth hygiene. It was incredibly informative and we learnt lots! Thank you Sarah!

Todays HoWL average is: 3.3

A slight dip but still great that we are above 3.0! 🙌👏👍

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.4

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

Our crew need to work together to ensure that EVERY crew member is focused on their learning and remains positive at all times.

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Ryleigh! Ryleigh was chosen by myself for working incredibly hard all day. In writing Ryleigh often struggles with her spellings and ensuring that her sentences make sense, so today she had a lot of ‘purple pen’ work. However, she didn’t let this faze her. She picked her purple pen up and edited all of her writing ensuring that it was the best it could be. I was super proud of her attitude and her determination, and like I said to the rest of our crew she is a great role model for others. A positive attitude will get you a long way! Great work today Ryleigh well done! Oh and not forgetting your excellent explanation in maths, informing the rest of the crew what ‘equivalent’ meant! 🙌🤩👏👍

Thrilling Thursday! We have done so much exciting learning today! Where to begin?

This morning we thought about how we can help our alien friend 👽 they are going home next week so we had to help them prepare for their journey. We talked about what makes a healthy pack lunch and started making sandwiches for the journey! Outside we thought about how to keep our bodies healthy so that we can show the alien how to keep fit on the journey. In choosing time we built a house for the alien to live in till his journey home, we think he’ll be very happy here till he heads home!

This afternoon we loved looking at the zoo animals outside. The children lead their own learning and wanted to look at images of the animals we have. We learnt that there are lots of types of elephant and that not all lions have a mane!

Today’s HOWL hero is Riley! He has lead so much of his own leaning today! Amazing independence 👏🏻

Terrific Thursday 🤗 We have had a great day in Crew Gerrard today. We have shown great perseverance in our writing of non-chronological report and especially in our maths. I am really impressed with this great attitude on display at the moment. Today, in our check out Crew, we were able to make some fantastic pledges to ensure that we have an even better day to end the week. Today, our peers chose HoWL Heroes and they were:

Work Hard: McKenzie has a great attitude to learning (Lucas) 😁

Get Smart: Evie has been praised a lot by her Crew Leaders (Amelia) 😃

Be Kind: Sapphire for putting a smile on our faces, listening well and being a great friend. She is kind to everyone (All of Crew G). 😄

Our HoWL average was 3.0! I wonder if we can keep showing that perseverance, especially in our tricky writing? 😆

Thursday✅

What a day we have had! We loved our expedition lesson today and we worked really well as a crew. We had to practice the skills that we would need to be able to make our model of Lincoln Castle today. We practiced things like scoring, bending, attaching and building up.🌟

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Harry 👏

Get smart: Nathan 👏

Be kind: Heartley 👏

HOWL Score: 3.3 Well done Crew Welburn! Keep it up!

Star moment

Star moment today was seeing the children listen to our visitor. The children fully listened to what she had to say about dental hygiene. I wonder if anyone can remember any of the facts that we learnt! 😁😁😁

Average is: 2.7

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. Make sure tomorrow… hands up!

Howl Hero:

Our Get Smart Hero today is Mark!

Mark has blown me away with the knowledge he has remembered about teeth! He could tell me what every tooth was in our mouths and explain what purpose they had. Well done Mark!!
