It’s been a fabulous start to our new term with lots of exciting things happening in Early Years! Watch to see everything we have been doing!

Amazing first week back! It has been such a great first week with Crew Shields and we’ve loved being back together and building up crew again. The children have settled back into our routine and continued to support each other. I have been extremely impressed with the positive attitude to learning that they’ve all demonstrated this week.

Crew Shields Average : 3.4

Targets for this week : 3.2

How can we improve?

To further improve, Crew Shields need to ensure they start responding to feedback without prompts.

Crew Shields Work Hard Howl Hero – Tommy

Tommy has been working extremely hard on his presentation by working on his handwriting. He is even working on his fine motor skills/handwriting at home to ensure he is getting lots of practice. Keep it up.

A great end to the week. Today we celebrated Lydia’s Learning Legend award and completed our Wizard of Oz slice. We have seen determination, perseverance, pride, kindness and lots of children working hard to get smart!

Our Howl Average today was 2.9

Our Weekly Howl Target is 3.0

This weeks HoWL average was 2.9

We need 8 more ‘3’s’ to earn our Nelli day! 🐶🐶

Today’s Howl hero was Alkim. He has worked really hard today (and this half term) to improve his writing and to blow the reader away.

Our Learning Legend this week was Lydia B. Lydia was chosen because of her teaching skills. She has been heard and seen teaching a crew mate and helping them to get smarter. She has such a sweet manner and helped them to achieve. Well done !

What a great start to the Summer term, UKS2! Enjoy your weekend, guys!😆

What a busy week we have had! That didn’t stop us working hard today though!

After a busy week we enjoyed a day out in the fresh air! We especially enjoyed seeing the children playing so kindly with each other in the kitchen! They really used their social skills to share, listen and support each other.

Make sure to watch This Week in the Phase to see the highlights of our Wizard of Oz week!

Today’s HOWL hero is Presley! She has been a joy to have in Crew this week, showing all aspects of HOWLs. We are very proud 👏🏻

Also a special mention to Layla! When Layla joined our crew in March she found it a little bit scary but you would never know that now! The progress she has made is amazing and we can’t wait to see what she does next!

We hope you have a lovely weekend! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled as we have something very exciting happening on Monday! 👨🏻‍🌾

Fabulous FriYAY! 🙌

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s ‘star moment’ has to be our art lesson this morning! Some of the children really blew me away with their Dorothy designs. Children carefully chose appropriate colours and patterns to build up an image of the main character. We have some very talented and creative members of our crew! Well done! 👏

Todays HoWL average is: 2.8

A slight dip in the score to end the week but this is mainly down to some absences and some children not quite working as hard as they could of.

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this next week? 

All crew members need to support each other in ensuring that everyone is working hard to allow all crew members to be the smartest that they can be!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Laila! Laila was praised by several crew members today for ‘being kind’ which I have to agree with! I also wanted to praise Laila for producing ‘beautiful work’ in art this morning. Her portrait of Dorothy was amazing! She had taken her time to ensure that her design was neat and she also thought about her colour and pattern choices. A piece of work that Laila should be very proud of! Well done! 🙌🤩👏👍🖍

We have had a brilliant first week back in Crew Wilson!

Highlight of the Week:

It was hard to pick what just one favourite part of the week, but we spoke as a crew and decided that we have really enjoyed our expedition lessons where we have continued building our castle, and we also loved the Wizard of Oz day! We have worked so collaboratively this week, and have listened carefully to instructions to ensure we were completing tasks to the best of our ability, well done Crew Wilson, you definitely deserve a rest this weekend!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This goes to Tia today for coming back with a big smile on her face and getting stuck in to all of our learning, welcome back Tia!

Get Smart: This goes to Perrie today for going above and beyond in expedition and really thinking carefully about what she needed to do to paint bricks effectively, well done Perrie!

Be Kind: This goes to Stevie today for looking after her crew and being a good friend to children who may have been feeling sad, keep it up Stevie!

Howl Average:

3.4 – we have ended our week with a very respectable score of 3.4, hopefully we will be able to get it even higher next week – fab fours across the board is the target!
