HOWL Average: 3.00

We have had a fantastic Thursday today and have been continuing our narrative writing in English, learning about equal groups in maths and working together in PE.

Our HOWL Hero for Working Hard today is Amelia, who tried her best in every lesson and helped other members of our Crew.

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.

I wonder who our HOWL hero will be on Monday

Today, we could’ve given everyone HOWL hero… but the lucky 3 were:

Work hard: Kai for working really hard on improving his writing.

Get smart: Kelby – for her fantastic logo design.

Be kind: Kelby – for being supportive to all her peers.

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.0! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

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!😁😁

Thursday ✅

Today, we enjoyed practicing our PE skills outside with the footballs and basketballs. We were learning how to throw and catch and kick accurately 🏀⚽ We’ve had lots of fun today and tried really hard to cheer each other up by making each other laugh!

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Tiarna 👏

Get smart: Heartley 👏

Be kind: Bronwyn 👏

HOWL Score: 2.9 We will try to get to our target of 3 on Monday Crew Welburn.

Woeful Wednesday!

Today hasn’t been the best in Crew Elmer… we are all feeling very tired and are most certainly ready for the weekend. One more day guys! Hold in there!!

Star moment of the day: ⭐

Today’s star moment has got to be our ‘Hooked on Booked’ session. Today we trialed ‘echo reading’ and I was really impressed with how in sync the children were with each other and also how quickly they picked up the expression that I was used when I read the different sentences first! We will definitely be doing this again! I think we all enjoyed it that much! 😁👍📚

Todays HoWL average is: 2.9

A slight dip from yesterday but nothing too drastic! I think the dip is down to some children doing a little bit too much chatting in some lessons and not being wholly focused on their learning. After a quick chat in crew I am confident that we can sort this tomorrow!

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

Tomorrow we need to make sure that all crew members are focused on their learning and that we do a little less chatting during lesson times!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Bobby-Joe! Bobby-Joe is a quiet member of our crew but today he really stood out to the teaching staff in Crew Elmer. Bobby-Joe completed all of the work that was expected of him and participated well in every lesson. I am sure it won’t surprise you but Bobby-Joe was also one of the few who weren’t chatting in lesson times! He is a great role model to the rest of the crew because he always has his head down and is focused entirely on his learning and how he can ‘get smart’. Well done Bobby-Joe a great day for you as always! 🙌😁⭐👏

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!
