Welcome Back! 🖐

It was so nice to have most of the crew back in the classroom today! 🤗💕

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be our PE session this afternoon. I was really impressed with how well our crew worked together in small teams during games of netball and basketball today. The children played really fairly and were incredibly supportive of each other. I was also blown away with how well they praised each other, showing great sportsmanship.  😁👏⭐👍🙌

Todays HoWL average is: 2.9

A great score for our first day back in school, especially as there were still some crew members who were unaccounted for. I’m hoping that this number continues to rise!

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

Crew Elmer need to make sure that they continue to demonstrate all HoWLs as best as they can and aim for Green Standard in most lessons to help them to achieve those ‘4’s’.

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Laila. Today was Laila’s first day back in the classroom since last half term and she coped incredibly well. Lots of the Crew praised how Laila just got on like she has never been away! Laila worked hard in every lesson and I was really impressed with her knowledge in maths and her handwriting in The Write Stuff! An excellent first day back Laila! Well done! 👏⭐🤩🙌 

We enjoyed another snowy day in nursery and stayed out for a lovely snowy walk on the MUGA this morning ❄️ The fresh air woke us up ready for our day of learning 🙌🏼

We did write dance with Mrs Mason where we put together the final piece of the write dance sequence. Today was mark making to the music that we had heard, we did excellent listening and made some lovely marks 🤩

I noticed some fantastic maths learning through play where the children compared sizes of the towers, saying which was one biggest and smallest. We sang our favourite counting songs, practising counting to 5 and back again. We are getting good at showing the amount on our fingers 🤚🏼

What a wonderful Wednesday we have had in crew today. We have stated to think about a non chronological report in our English session, and to get out chotting ideas flowing we used hot seating to spark discussions.

The grown ups in the unit pretended to be different roles from medieval times to link with our expedition learning. The children had to ask them questions to find out who they were. Miss Ferguson started bossing everyone around and demanding food from all the servants! She was the King of year 2 👸

We also had the chande to speak to the lovely ladies who run tours of Lincoln Castle. They shared photos of the lovely grounds and answered questions the children had come up with deepen their knowledge.

Our HOWL average was 2.8 today. Well done everyone xxxx

✨Star moment✨

Star moment today was seeing the children create their Wanted posters, it was great to see all of their ideas on paper! 👍😁

Average is: 2.8

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh need to continue to make sure they are fully concentrating on their learning and listening to instructions, we have been chatty again today and I think this is effective our positive attitudes towards our learning.

Howl hero: 

Work hard today is TommyE!

Tommy really impressed Miss Smith and I in maths today, we were so impressed with how he tackled a problem solving question and applied all of his knowledge that he had learnt. Fab Tommy, well done 😁👌

What a wonderful Wednesday we have had in Crew Wilson!

Highlight of the day:

We have continued with our expedition learning and have explored weapons, today’s focus was shields! We know we would need a shield in a battle to keep us protected from our enemies attacks, so we designed and created our own in pairs. We collaborated so well and cannot wait to put on the finishing touches tomorrow!

Howl Heroes:

🟥Work Hard: Eva for showing her teachers she is ready to learn in every lesson, fantastic!

🟦Get Smart: Toby for only ever having to asked to do something once, very attentive!

🟩Be Kind: Mia for keeping her smile on all day and using her initiative to keep our classroom safe and tidy, well done!

Howl Average:

3.5 – Much better day for listening and following instructions, let’s see if we can get even higher for the last day of our school week tomorrow?!

Wonderful Wednesday! We’ve had another great day online, for Crew Gerrard. We kicked off our day by thinking about the logo for Carcroft and then moved onto reading. We then cracked our maths today and worked hard to really understand that. The best part of today though was expedition, where we are working on researching latitudes and creating information in an exciting way. I can’t wait to see the finished projects! So many of our Crew could have been one of HoWL heroes today, but the chosen three are:

Work Hard: Ellie-May – you made sure that you understood the maths and even kept working through the start of lunch to make sure of that 😁

Get Smart: Evie for flying in maths, you were so confident with the work 😃

Be Kind: Jolie – you are such a cheerful person and your positive attitude helps everyone us all in Crew 😄

Our HoWL average was 2.8, so lets make sure that we improve tomorrow!

Wednesday✅

We all had fantastic phonics lessons this morning. Crew Welburn is almost battle ready as we have been making our swords to go with the shields we made earlier in the week.

I have been really impressed with how you have worked with each other today Crew Welburn, sharing, taking turns and encouraging each other to Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind 🌟

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Mariama 👏

Get smart: Evie 👏

Be kind: Elijah 👏

HOWL Score: 3.0 Well Done Crew Welburn we have improved our score today keep it up tomorrow .

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

Work hard: Chloe – for a great improvement in her reading answers.

Get smart: Deacon – for fantastic ideas in expedition.

Be kind: Abigail – for helping out her classmates online.

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 2.2! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

A busy day in Crew Shields and Longley as we have continued to explore the Romans. We enjoyed a practical session that looked at the Roman army formations used in battle. This allowed children to understand how the Roman Army was effective and successful in building their empire.

Longley Crew Average:  3.1

Shields Crew Average : 2.5

Targets for this week : 3.2

How can we improve?

To improve our scores we need to ensure that we are listening to instructions so we understand what we have been asked to do. Demonstrating active listening allows us to get smart.

Crew Shields Get Smart Howl Hero – Alicia
Alicia always listens carefully to ensure that she can give her learning 100%. She is trying hard with her handwriting and letter formation.

Crew Longley Work Hard Howl Hero – Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn has been a superstar today. She actively listened and completed her learning to the best of her ability.
