Hello March! 🌷☀

Pinch, punch, first of the month!

It was lovely to start the month with having 3 of our crew members return to the crew today! Welcome back Jazmin, Hannah-May and Kacey-Leigh! It was so lovely to see your faces today! 💕

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s star moment has got to be our ‘Hooked on Books’ session today. We tried a ‘pick and mix’ approach to answering questions in today’s lesson and the children really enjoyed it and as a result many children achieved ‘Green standard’! Great work today Crew Elmer! 📚👍

Todays HoWL average is: 2.9

This is a great score for a Monday and for the first day of the month! Hopefully we can keep this up and when our fellow crew members return on Monday we can above a 3.0!

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

Some members of Crew Elmer need to make sure that they are focused on their learning at all times as some children were very chatty today and this caused their HoWLs to be a lot lower than they should be!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Lacey-Niia! Lacey-Niia was chosen by myself for working hard in Maths this morning. Lacey-Niia found division a little bit tricky after missing out on this due to home learning previously but she asked for help and this enabled her to gain a better understanding and she was then able to complete a range of division calculations independently using the bus stop method. I was so impressed with Lacey-Niia’s willingness to learn and how quickly she grasped this new concept. Amazing work Lacey-Niia! Well done!  🙌😁⭐👏

It’s a day of lovely new things! A new day, a new month and a new crew blog!

It’s been such a pleasure spending the last week getting to know the children and we were so excited to come together properly as our new crew today! ❤

The children have shown me just how well they can work hard, get smart and be kind! I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together, watch this space! 👀

Today’s HOWL hero 🌟

Get smart – Today Riley has shown his fantastic listening skills. He used his looking eyes and listening ears to show that be was focused and joined in with lots of reading! 📚

LKS2 are looking for some help! Do you know a dentist or dental nurse who would be willing to do an expert visit or talk to the children as part of their next expedition.

Please let us know if you would be willing to visit (or Zoom) or if you know someone who could help.

Any help would be really appreciated 🤞

The LKS2 team

Happy March!

A grey, foggy start to the day could not dampen our delight at being back as a crew! We have had a wonderful day settling back in, completing reading, maths, writing and expedition!

Our HoWLs for today were: 2.7

Our weekly target is: 2.9

Our target: TO be really proactive and work hard to produce beautiful work in a quicker time.

Our HoWL Heroes today were Kayden and Lydia S.

We were blown away with how well Kayden returned to school and his positive attitude towards his work!

I was really blown away by Lydia’s writing today and the paragraphs she produced.Well done!

A new start to the week and month! It’s been a great day in Crew Gerrard where we have discussed our new logo design, which the Crew are keen to design tomorrow morning. I have noticed that we’ve shown a great attitude today and I can’t wait to see that continue tomorrow. Our HoWL heroes for today:

Work Hard: Belle for showing a great attitude to her learning 😁

Get Smart: Ruby for using her reading skills brilliantly 😃

Be Kind: Emily for really cheering me up 😄

Our HoWL average was 3.2, which is a great start to the week! Please keep it up tomorrow, Crew Gerrard 😆

What a great day. It has been lovely being back in our own classroom today and establishing some of our usual routines. I know I benefit from these as much as the children so we are looking forward to getting back to some normality.  The children did a fantastic job of consolidating some of their multiplication work from last half term and demonstrated how they have retained some of these skills.

Crew Shields Average : 2.9

Targets for this week : 3.2

How can we improve?

To further improve, children need to ensure they take care with their presentation so they are producing beautiful learning.

Crew Shields Work Hard Howl Hero – Kaleb
Kaleb settled well with our move back into class. He tried hard to listen carefully to instructions so he was able to complete his learning. Well done Kaleb.

Highlight of the day:

We have had another fantastic PE lesson with Coach Dylan where we pretended we were the characters in Toy Story and had to move around the hall in different ways. When Emperor Zurg came along we had to run and hide quietly, we worked great together as a team and we won! Well done Crew Wilson and thank you to Coach Dylan!

Howl Heroes:

Work Hard: Toby for his brilliant independent sentences for our non chronological report, well done!

Get Smart: April for consistently showing teachers she is ready and listening first time, every time!

Be Kind:  Bobby-J for helping keep the classroom and the cloakroom tidy, well done!

Howl Average:

2.7 – Not the best start to our week but hopefully we will have a better day for listening and paying attention to instructions tomorrow, as some of the crew have some personal targets to work on!

WOW, I cannot believe it is March!

✨Star moment✨

Star moment today was seeing the children take charge of their own reading learning in our reading lesson today, the children loved choosing their own questions to answer in their book. It was great to see how confident they were when answering them also. Well done Crew Marsh!!😁😁

Average is: 3.0!

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow?

I just want to praise Crew Marsh on their improvement of working as a crew/team, this has massively improved over the last few days. I feel very proud!💕

Crew Marsh’s target tomorrow is to make sure they are concentrating on their learning and not as much talking.

Howl hero: 

Work hard hero today is TommyE!

Tommy has worked hard in all of his subjects today and has really blown me away with how much knowledge he has used to be able to work hard in his lessons. Well done! 🙌
