HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Charlie 👏

Get smart: Harriet 👏

Be kind: Charlie – as nominated by Lylah👏

HOWL Score: 3 You have made me really proud today Crew Welburn, keep it up! 🌟

Talkative Thursday! 😁

Today the children have been very chatty! Maybe the wind is to blame! ☁🌪

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be our Expedition lesson this afternoon. I absolutely loved seeing the different Roman mosaic designs that the children created. The children used a variety of colours to create some very creative designs. Watch this space for some photos of the crews fabulous work! 📸

Todays HoWL average is: 2.9

Another good score this week Crew Elmer! 🙌🤩⭐👍👏 However, I think that with less chatting tomorrow that we can improve this! 🤞

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.0

How can we develop this tomorrow? 

All crew members need to ensure that they are focused on their learning at all times tomorrow!

Today’s HoWL Hero: 

Today’s HoWL Hero was Ray! Ray was praised by lots of his crew members today for a number of reasons including being there for his online crew members when they wanted to chat, praising other crew members work, submitting every piece of work that he had completed at home and producing some great work throughout the day! Excellent work Ray! Well done!  💻👏⭐🤩🙌😁🕺

What a brilliant Thursday we have had in crew today!

The children celebrated their expedition learning by having a medieval banquet complete with our very own Lord and Lady! 🤴👸

They turned our class story “George and the Dragon” into an action sequence, sang songs and learnt how to bow and courtesy properly before the banquet began. They then enjoyed fresh fruit (thankyou kitchen staff) and crusty bread served to them by the servants (the teachers 😂)

We have had a brilliant day! Well done crew! X

Thursday ✅

What a lot of fun we’ve had this afternoon. We got to have our very own banquet with a king and a queen! We had a feast, were entertained by jousting and sword fighting, and we danced around our castle!

HOWL Heroes:

Work hard: Darcie 👏

Get smart: Lylah 👏

Be kind: Nathan 👏

HOWL Score: 2.7 We need to work on this tomorrow Crew Welburn.

We’ve had such an exciting day today! The alien wrote us a letter ❤ he is so scared and worried and has asked for our help. The children were so excited to receive the letter and set off to work straight away.

“Mrs Godley’s Crew

Please help me! Something terrible has happened! I went to visit my family on planet Venus for Christmas, but when I was travelling back to my own home on planet Mars, my Spaceship was hit by a giant rock flying through space!  My spaceship was badly damaged! It lost power and it fell quickly to planet Earth. I was so scared! My spaceship hit the ground and broke into lots of small pieces. Luckily my spacesuit protected my tiny body and I am still alive but my spaceship is broken and I don’t think that it can be fixed! I am lost and I feel very scared and worried. I have never been to your planet before. Everyone that I have seen looks strange – they don’t look like me at all!  I need your help. How can you help me? I need to get back to my family on plant Mars but I don’t know how to get there. I need you to help me to hide and to stay safe while I am resting on planet Earth. My arm is broken and it needs time to heal before I can travel back to Mars safely.

Thank you ,

Zig Zog,

Your new friend  from planet Mars”

This led us to explore the planet Venus – what did the planet look like where the alien was traveling from? We used pastels to create our own planets to share with the alien to make him feel welcome and show him that we want to help him get home to Mars. This sparked discussion about the alien and it’s appearance and what he might need to survive on such a hot planet! We wrote a letter back to the alien to gather more information. We then used our fine motor skills to sculpt what we thought the alien may look like, we know he is tiny!

Our crew today really has shown we are crew by their kind and thoughtful discussions around supporting the alien. Shania even offered to take the alien to the doctors to ensure his arm could be fixed ❤

Today’s HoWL heroes are:

Working Hard – Dylan. Dylna worked hard today with his art skills and carefully selected colours to represent the planet Venus.

Getting Smart – Lilly and Reggie. Both Lilly and Reggie worked hard today in quick maths to recognise and form numbers correctly. Reggie absolutely blew me away with how much he has been practising at home, keep up the great work!

Thursday ✅

Highlight of the day:

We have had a medieval banquet in our expedition lesson this afternoon and have had a real taste of castle life! We bowed to the Royals, ate some yummy bread and fruit, we had a jousting battle and we even danced a medieval jig, it was so much fun!

Howl Heroes:

No Heroes today as we were so involved with our banquet we forgot to do them!

Howl Score:

2.8

We have been very reflective as a crew today.  Whilst we have had fun this afternoon, some of the crew could have worked a lot harder this morning, so that is their challenge for tomorrow to get those Howl scores higher!

Another busy day for the two crews. Today we have been reading for understanding, improving our handwriting and learning about Roman mosaics.

Longley Crew Average:  3.4

Shields Crew Average : 2.7

Targets for this week : 3.3

How can we improve?

Tomorrow, we need to ensure that we are listening and ready to work hard. When learning we sometimes drift and we need to make sure that we listen, try and work independently.

Online Howl Hero – Lydia B. This was for a fantastic rap that she had created about the Romans

Shields Howl Hero – Maddie. She really has tried hard, shown beautiful presentation and independence.

Longley Howl Hero- Sophia. Sophia has blown us away with her presentation and her positive work ethos today.

My star moment today was seeing the improvement as a crew they have made to correcting their learning with purple pen, this is a massive step forward and has made a real difference in their learning. Well done Crew Marsh, keep it up!! 😁😎👏

Average is: 3!👌

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.1

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh need to continue to be more mindful of putting their hand up rather than getting out of their seat, and making sure that we are listening and following instructions the first time.

Today’s howl hero is:

Get Smart hero today is Mark! 🙌😁😁😁

Mark has blown me away today with his amazing ideas in the writing lesson! His handwriting was lovely and he tried really hard. Well done Mark, it is well deserved today!💕
