Star moment

Star moment today was seeing the children play a hockey game using the skills that they have learnt. It was great to see how they all played as a crew and made sure that they cheered each other on if needed. Coach also said that our sportsmanship had improved since September. This is a real positive Crew Marsh, Well done! 👍👍

Average is: 2.7 – This has dropped today because there has been so much chatting in the crew today!

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: 

Get Smart hero today is Lottie!

Lottie has made sure all of her learning has been incredibly neat today. She has also made sure that she has concentrated on her learning and got smart today. Well done Lottie! 😁😁👏

Tuesday✅

What a terrific Tuesday! We have all really enjoyed writing and maths in Crew Welburn today. In maths, we were exploring adding two numbers together and showing this using a tens frame and the practical resources. We then got really smart by applying this onto our sheet independently! In writing, we were practicing producing beautiful work that we are proud of as we wrote up our letters ready to send to Zog!🌟

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Charlie 👏

Get smart: Heartley 👏

Be kind: Frankie 👏

HOWL Score: 3.0 Well done Crew Welburn! Keep it up!

Happy Monday! 😁 Today has been a fantastic start to the week for Crew Elmer! 👍

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today ‘s star moment has got to be our ‘Write Stuff’ lesson. Today was an ‘Experience Day’ which involved us all partaking in a number of activities ready for our writing lessons this week. We enjoyed completing ‘role on the wall’, punctuating speech, listing and acting out different speech verbs and predicting alternative endings through drawings. It was a very productive lesson with us all achieving Gold Standard and I am sure it will be very beneficial for our writing lessons this week! 😁👍

A great score to start the week! Well done Crew Elmer! 🙌👏👍

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

Keep up the great work so that we can secure those 3’s and 4’s! A few of us also need to make sure that we are being ‘positive’ at all times.

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Harry! Harry was praised by several crew members for being kind and helping others with their work today. He was also praised for being kind at crew playtimes and for working hard in all lessons especially Expedition this afternoon. For this reason I couldn’t not choose Harry for HoWL Hero today! For working hard, getting smart and being kind you are our well-deserved HoWL Hero today Harry! Well done! 🙌🤩👏👍

One of our best Mondays yet!  From experience days thinking about characters and their speech to thinking about how to form an investigation to support our expedition, it’s been a busy day.  The highlight has to be our work on fractions though.  They can be tricky at the best of time but that hasn’t stopped us, we’ve aced it!

Today’s HoWL average is: 3.3

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 2.9

I wonder if…

I wonder if we can really focus on improving our handwriting tomorrow.  We’ve started getting our own next steps so it’s time to act on them now.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart HoWL Heroes today are Bobby and Tia!

What a great day it’s been for Bobby.  Not only has he been working to green standard in his arithmetic and maths but he blew us all away in our expedition lesson by explaining what a control variable was and how we could use one for our upcoming investigation.

For Tia, it’s been a day of beautiful work and smashing her ME in maths as she hit her green target.  Awesome concentration to achieve this, Tia, but even better determination to achieve as much as you can and this was helped by some great listening!

Such a lovely start to our week!

The highlight of today was all the wonderful time we spent outside enjoying the sunshine! ☀️ We spent our whole afternoon learning outside. The children found bugs, practiced their name recognition and writing skills and built important sharing and cooperative skills that will help us learn.

The best part was enjoying our first afternoon snack outside! We can’t wait to do this lots more in the sunny weather!

Today’s HOWL hero is Charlie-Jade! She is always a kind and happy member of our crew and brings a smile to our faces! 😀

This morning we enjoyed PE with Coach Dylan. We had so much fun pretending to be fish while Coach Dylan was a shark and we had to work hard to listen to instructions so that he didn’t catch us! 🦈 🐟

The sun definitely had his hat on this afternoon ☀️ We enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine and took our learning outside. In between finding worms, we did our name practice and practised writing the letter ‘a’ which is our sound of the week this week! We were getting smart by thinking about what objects we know that begin with an ‘a’ sound.

We enjoyed our first of the year outdoor snack time, it was so lovely to sit in the sunshine together 😍

Highlight of the Day:

We had a brilliant expedition lesson exploring the different parts of Lincoln Castle. We worked really hard to create some beautiful sketches of the key areas in the castle, and will put them all together to make one big design, ready for our final product!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This goes to Finn for his super speedy sentences in writing today, well done!

Get Smart: This goes to Perrie for her fantastic observation skills in expedition, nothing gets past Perrie!

Be Kind: This goes to Stevie for being kind to her friends on the playground.

Howl Average: 3.9 !!! Only 0.1 off of a perfect four! What a brilliant start to the week, lets keep improving those listening skills every day!

Crew Shields have enjoyed an experience day in writing that has allowed them to generate ideas in preparation for their writing lessons this week. They have created a bank of synoyms for said and started to think about the characters in the story. It was a proud moment to see the children working collaboratively in their mini crews and ensuring everyone had a opportunity to partake.

Crew Shields Average : 3.0

Targets for this week : 3.2

How can we improve?

To further improve, Crew Shields need to ensure that are continuing to develop their independence and not relying on adult before starting a task.

Georgie has been working really hard in maths and therefore, has been able to apply her prior knowledge to complete her arithmetic. She has completed a mix of operations but did a great job solving them. Well done.
