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

Work hard: Crystal – for amazing effort in her online learning.

Get smart: Grace – for fantastic editing of her writing.

Be kind: Kai – for being helpful and supportive to everyone in class.

🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.7! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.

Terrific Tuesday! I am happy to hear that the in school we have had another strong day of working hard and I can assure you that I have seen some fantastic work from the online workers (not just Crew Gerrard’s)! It’s been a tricky choice selecting our HoWL heroes, but they are:

Work Hard: Sapphire and Riley for excellent work, especially their reading 😀

Get Smart: Emily for producing some really great answers in reading and fantastic paragraph for expedition 😁

Be Kind: Ellie-May for always smiling and being such a cheerful character 😃

Our HoWL average stayed at 3.2 today guys, so I wonder if we can improve that again tomorrow!

Well done guys! 😆

Good evening everyone.

The children in crew today have been thinking a lot about being kind in all areas of the school day.

We spoke about how being kind isn’t just holding doors for each other or helping our peers pick things up that they may have dropped.  Its about using kind words and supporting each other throughout the whole day.

By actively listening we can become kinder learners and really show consideration of others in the classroom. In the last few weeks since I entered year 2 we have really tried to build a positive relationship together and we have spoken today that our crew is a like a real family. We are working hard to acknowledge each other respectfully and think how others would feel with our actions. Its lovely to see everyone trying so hard.

Well done x

Monday ✅ We began our day with PE with coach Alex. We had lots of fun learning physical skills and moving our bodies in different ways. We practised balancing on one foot, walking backwards and crawling. After this we were all warmed up and woken up to start our day 🙌🏼

We continued our space topic during playdough disco, where we rolled our play dough like a rocket 🚀 and used our fingers to moon walk on our moon playdough 🌚 This really warmed up our fingers and will help us to get strong muscles to write ✍️

We have finished the final stage of our alien pictures, where we learned to mix the colours blue and yellow to make green. We then painted our aliens and added underpants to them like we saw in the story ‘Aliens love underpants’. We have put some up in the classroom so the children can be proud of their work and visitors in our class can see the beautiful work they produce 🤩

We are working hard to teach our new crew members what it means to be kind and the children have made me really proud demonstrating positive attitudes towards their learning.

Monday✅

What superstars we have been in writing today! In our Write Stuff lessons, Miss Welburn and Miss Gillies have been pushing us to write more than one sentence for our plot points, and today, we worked really hard as a crew to make sure that everyone achieved this. We shared our chotting ideas, used our Fred fingers and re-read our sentences to check they made sense. We really impressed our teachers!

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Harriet👏

Get smart: Darcie👏

Be kind: Lylah 👏

HOWL Score: 3.1 Well done Crew Welburn, you all worked so hard today 🌟

Manic Monday! 😵

It has been a very cold day in school today ❄😨 but we have still managed to work hard and get lots done! 🙌👍

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be our Write Stuff lesson. I was blown away with the ideas that the children generated on the back of watching a clip about ‘The Eruption of Vesuvius’. All crew members contributed well to our class word bank that consisted of adjectives, expanded noun phrases, similes, nouns, verbs and adverbs. This will be incredibly beneficial for all crew members when writing our final plot points this week. Well done Crew! 🙌👍⭐📝✏

Todays HoWL average is: 3.0

A great start to the week! Well done Crew Elmer! 👍🙌⭐😁

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

All crew members need to remember to follow the HoWLs at all times, especially those around ‘listening carefully’, and ‘focusing on my learning’, as there has been a lot of chatting in class again today!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Harley! Harley was praised my several crew members as well as myself and Miss Hart. Harley has been focused on his learning and has worked hard all day. He achieved ‘Green Standard’ in a number of lessons and produced a great timeline in Expedition this afternoon. I am personally really proud of how hard you have worked today Harley! Well done!  👏⭐🤩🙌😁

We have had a good start to our week in Crew Wilson.

Highlight of the day:

Our writing today! We have started writing a narrative about the Zog story and we have written four sentences over two plot points – what an achievement Crew Wilson!

Howl Heroes:

Some reflections and pledges made at the end of the day from some of the Crew, hopefully we will be able to gain a higher score tomorrow by listening and working hard all day.
