Friday✅

Today we have practiced our arithmetic skills. We looked at addition within 20 and practiced writing our number correctly. We got really smart!🌟

Highlight of the week:

This week, it has been lovely to see the children working so hard in their writing lessons this week. They have been so caring towards Teddy and fixing his arm and we are seeing some amazing letters to send to Zog and the Flying Doctors. Keep this up Crew Welburn.

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Charlie👏

Get smart: Kairen👏

Be kind: Scarlett👏

HOWL Score: 3.4 Well done Crew Welburn! Keep it up!

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

Star moment

Star moment today was completing 99 club, it was great to see how the children applied all of their time table knowledge to answer the questions in a quick time. Time tables in Crew Marsh have massively improved since the start of the year and now some of our crew members are on the 77 club!! Very impressive! 👏👏👏

Average is: 2.9!

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh’s target for next week is to make sure they are concentrating on their learning and not as much talking, today this seems to have been all day and I have had to constantly remind children about what working hard and getting smart looks like.

Howl hero: 

Work hard hero today is Preston and Millie 😁

Preston has really stood out today for always making sure he is working hard and doing the right thing. Every time I have asked the class to stop, Preston has been the first to do this. Well done! 😎

Millie has concentrated on her learning all morning, she has made sure her work has looked neat and has shown that she is listening by looking at the front. 🙌

It has been a lovely Friday in our Crew today. We have been improving our handwriting and letter formation. Everyone has worked really hard to do this and be successful.

HOWL heroes

Work Hard

Archie for practising his letter formation.

Get Smart

Amelia for listening carefully in her reading lesson this morning.

Be Kind

Honey for helping her crew friends when they find something tricky.

I wonder who will be our HOWL heroes next week.

Crew Shields have completed a Children’s University learning activity today to further explore teeth. They worked in pairs to complete the activities and earn themselves a certificate. I will ensure these are sent home over the next few days. It was lovely to see the children supporting their peers and helping with things like reading and understanding.

Crew Shields Average : 2.6

Targets for this week : 3.2

How can we improve?

To further improve, Crew Shields need to ensure that they are being kind by listening to and following instructions.

Crew Shields Get Smart Howl Hero – Maddie
Maddie is a member of Crew Shields that can always be relied upon to listen carefully and complete her learning. She tries her best in everything she does and is polite and helpful to her peers.

Another busy day, looking at multiplying and beginning to write our new story ‘The Incredible Book Eating Boy!’ We have had some challenges along the way, but are working hard as a crew to meet these.

HoWL score today: 2.6

Howl Target for the week: 2.8

Howl Hero for today was Chase. Well done Chase. He was chosen for working hard across all lessons, trying his hardest and being a great crew mate and helping others to learn!

We can’t believe what a windy day it has been!

We have really focused on getting smart today! We have been talking about our mummies and special adults we have in our lives ready for mothers day at the weekend. 💐

In reading we talked about this weeks class text ‘There’s an Alien in your Book’ (we really love this one, especially all the fun actions) and drew a house with Mr Jones for the alien to live in while he stays on earth 🌎

We have also been hard at work creating some beautiful gifts for the special ladies in our lives but we can’t show any pictures of these, we don’t want to ruin the surprise! 🌺

Today our HOWL hero is George! George spoke so clearly today, shared lots of lovely ideas and even began to speak in longer sentences by using ‘because’! 🌟

Tiring Thursday! 💤 Today has been another very busy day in Crew Elmer that has left us all feeling very tired! 💤

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today ‘s star moment has got to be our Expedition lesson this afternoon. I was blown away with how well the children had retained their knowledge about the tooth structure from Monday’s lesson and were able to apply this to create some amazing teeth structures using marshmallows! Take a look at the snaps below! 📸 😁👍

Tomorrow, we need to have another great day like today to top the week off! 👍

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Ray! Ray was chosen by myself for HoWL hero due to how well he has settled in this week. He has worked incredibly hard in all lessons and has even tried hard in lessons that he hasn’t enjoyed completing showing that he is a good role model to others, maintaining that positive attitude to learning at all times. Excellent work Ray! Well done! 🙌🤩👏👍

Thursday complete after another busy day in Crew Gerrard. We started off today by writing a section for our Expedition blog (keep your eyes peeled 👀). We have also been working hard on equivalent fractions, so that we can become really secure for the next steps. After that we began writing our non-chronological report. This afternoon – the highlight of the day – we looked into how day and night occurs, pretending to be the Earth and the sun. Our HoWL Heroes were:

Work Hard: Evie for thinking carefully about how she could solve equivalent fractions. 😁

Get Smart: Jolie trying hard to improve her listening skills to ensure she was able to learn her best. 😃

Be Kind: Belle for respecting other people’s feelings and being considerate of others. 😄

Our HoWL average was 2.8 – luckily we have tomorrow to be able to improve that score! I wonder if we can all show that we are listening carefully? 😆

Star moment

Star moment today was seeing the children create their teeth in a mouth, the children used marshmallows to create the different teeth and were able to show all of their learning by labelling them. Well done Crew Marsh! Your knowledge about teeth has really impressed me! 😁

Average is: 2.7!

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh’s target is to make sure they are concentrating on their learning and not as much talking, today this seems to have been all day and I have had to constantly remind children about what working hard and getting smart looks like.

Work hard hero today is Harlie!

Harlie has worked really hard all day today. She always makes sure she applies herself to her learning and listens to all of my instructions.

Well done Harlie, you have really stood out today in Crew Marsh! 💕💕
