Today we have been mathematicians! 🧮

This morning we did some yummy baking with Mrs Rafter. We counted how many spoon fulls of flour and sugar we needed to make our batter, then we shared the mixture into bun cases. We were careful to make sure they were all the same! 🧁

This afternoon we explored the number 1. We worked so hard doing lots of fun things to help us understand it in lots of ways. We did 1 jump, 1 hop and even stood on one leg before using objects to show what 1 looks like.

Keep your eyes peeled for more maths fun on This Week in the Phase! 👀

Today our HOWL score was 3! Well done, Crew! 👏🏻

Today our HOWL hero was Rose.🌹 She has been such a good example of our HOWL values today. Showing her good listening skills, helping her to get smart and being a role model to her crew!

Thursday ✔

Highlight of the day: We’ve had a fantastic today and the highlight of my day was RWI. My group worked so hard and it was a pleasure to hear the children so excited by their learning. The children were so kind to each other, we had a multitude of praises to give to each other. Noah praised Dom for his fantastic blending skills, Dom absolutely blew me away today with his determination.

Howl Heroes:

Get Smart: Shelby worked so hard today in math’s to complete her addition sentences independently. She was so impressed by herself she continued this during her independent learning time.

Get Smart: Evelynn worked independently today in the writing area to draw an alien family like the one we had discovered in a text we had read. She then labelled her masterpiece with a caption using the resources available to her, this is getting smart as she had carefully listened to instructions and created beautiful work.

Howl Average: 3.1

A great end to the week, we’ve finally cracked back into the 3’s and have improved our listening skills and work hard ethic. There is always room for improvement and we reflected on our targets for next week. Well done Crew Godley!

⭐️Star moments of today ⭐️
Today nursery have worked hard on their maths skills in lots of ways. The children made buns with Mrs Rafter where they measured and weighed the ingredients, counted their bun cases and shared out the mixture evenly. This is such a fun way to do maths! 🧁

We also worked in groups looking at the number 1 again to ensure we are really confident in recognising the number. We counted out 1 object, practised writing the number and matched the number to 1 object. Some children even began to look at simple number problems adding objects. Fantastic work 🌟

HOWL Hero 🦸‍♂️ Kaison for getting smart in maths and completing number problems ⭐️

Today we have continued to develop our writing skills by continuing to write our own “Dragon Post” story. We worked hard to add the conjunctions so, but, because and even with to extend our sentences.

We worked hard to write through the action and feelings lenses using time adverbials. Miss Ferguson has been blown away with our thoughts and ideas and can’t wait to continue this learning next week!

Our Howl average today was 2.9 which is higher than yesterday. Well done everyone x

Our last day before we’re back as a full Crew and we can’t wait to welcome back our online learners on Monday. We have had a really positive day and managed to get to grips with our fractions. We had a great attitude towards our learning! Our HoWL Heroes were:

The HOWL Hero for Getting Smart is Archie, for always listening in every lesson and showing that he is ready to learn.

Our HOWL Hero for Being Kind is Millie, who hasn’t changed and has been as helpful and considerate as always.

Star moment

Star moment today was seeing the children’s finished artwork. They have all worked really hard and we have got some beautiful mosaics as a result. Well done Crew Marsh!

Average is: 2.9 – an improvement from yesterday!

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh’s target 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…. again

Howl hero: 

Work hard hero today is Aaron!

Aaron has worked so hard all week! He has really shone and tried so hard in all of his lessons every single day! Well done Aaron, I am so impressed with you!😁😁
