Wonderful Wednesday! We have had a really good day in Crew Gerrard, where we have looked into our reading skills more. This is an area that we are all keen to work on and get better at, which I’m sure that we will. There have been so many potential HoWL Heroes today and we decided they are:

Work Hard: Brayden for showing great enthusiasm in his maths work 😁

Get Smart: Lucas for showing a tremendous attitude to all lessons 😃

Be Kind: Ellie May who is always kind to others in her Crew 😄

Our HoWL average for today was 3.1, which is an improvement on yesterday! Well done Crew Gerrard 😆

Today we have carried on our adventures in stories! We continued to look at our book linking to expedition, ‘Bringing Down the Moon’. We all enjoyed sharing the book as a Crew with Miss Nicholson and joined in with her; the moon is ‘not as near as it looks’!

Then we got to share the book independently with Miss Thiede. We talked about the different characters, their actions and ordered the pictures from the story. We had lots to share and showed we were working hard by focusing on the story.

Today our HOWL score was 2.6

Our HOWL hero today is Charlotte! She worked so hard in our story sharing and was even able to tell adults about the beginning, middle and end of the story through pictures!

Highlight of the day: We have had a great day for phonics today, I really enjoyed listening to the crew read their story book so beautifully, and they have tried so hard to sound out our new tricky sound in words, well done everyone!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: This goes to Mia for ignoring distractions in the classroom and focussing on completing her work, well done!

Get Smart: This goes to Bobby-J for listening carefully to instructions in our maths lesson, even though it was tricky he tried very hard to complete his work!

Be Kind: Toby for working hard and helping other children in the crew, well done!

Howl Average:

3.0 – we’ve finally got back up to three’s! A good improvement for listening but still some work to be done and some targets to meet, let’s smash it on our last day!

A great day in Crew Longley today. We have been working on our new logo. We have been working on our word reading, maths and sports.

Our HoWLs for today were: 2.8

Our weekly target is: 2.9

Our target: to remember what a noun, verb and adverb is!

Our HoWL Heroes today was Esme.

She has really blown us away working on her mosaic. She has worked so hard to produce her beautiful piece of work.

✨Star moment✨

Star moment today was seeing the children produce beautiful work in their writing books, I can see that they are really taking care and making sure their presentation is up to the high expectations. Well done Crew Marsh, keep it up!👍😁

Average is: 2.6 😢 – I feel sad about today’s score because our week started off so strong.

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh’s target tomorrow 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: 

Get smart hero today is Frankie!

Frankie your presentation has massively improved since the start of the year, this makes me feel so proud and hope you are just as proud of your work. You have also got a lot quicker in speed when completing work, this shows how much you have grown in confidence, Well done Frankie! 💕

Get smart: Heartley👏

Honey for working hard to make part of Lincoln Castle during our Expedition lesson.

Get Smart

Maria for getting smart in English and working independently throughout the lesson.

Be Kind

Hollie and Billie both win being kind in Expedition and helping their mini-crew and sharing resources.

A busy day as always in Crew Shields with the children giving all their learning 100%. I love the determination of Crew Shields to improve and ensure they are working together. It was delightful seeing the children collaborate on their ideas for the logo rebrand. They negotiated and reasoned their thought process for the elements for a logo.

Crew Shields Average : 2.9

Targets for this week : 3.2

How can we improve?

To further improve, children need to develop their pace when completing their learning.

Crew Shields Work Hard Howl Hero – Lacey
Lacey has blown me away in RWI this week as she is trying really hard to remember her sounds and to be able to read them in nonsense words. I love her determination and positive attitude to learning.
