Our first day as a super crew and the children have all blown myself and Miss Shields away. They have adapted to a new norm, classroom and crew with ease and made us so proud. We have been thinking about looking after ourselves in crew, thinking about vocabulary in reading, starting to learn about poetry and explored the Romans.

Shields Average is: 2.8

Longley Average is: 3.6

Shields Weekly HoWL target is: 3.2!

Longley Weekly HoWL target is: 2.6

How can we develop this tomorrow?

In class we are aiming to be ready and to start working with more independence.

At home, our target is to become more used to handing work in and opening docs.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Shields hero today is IJ! 😁👌 He blew us away with spelling

Longley hero today is Esme! She has really tried to be proactive and worked really hard

Our online hero today is Chase! We were really proud to see him supporting his other online crew mates

My star moment today was how engaged the children were in the new story we are reading and using for our writing lessons. It is called Survivor: Escape from Pompeii!! 😁

Average is: 3.1

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.2!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh need to continue to be more mindful in putting their hand up tomorrow rather than getting out of their seat, this is something as a Crew that we need to be mindful of.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is TommyE! 😁👌

Tommy has blown me away in our arithmetic lessons recently! I cant believe how much progress you have made, well done Tommy keep up the hard work!! 👏🙌😊

Happy FriYAY! 🙌

What a week it has been! Honestly when I thought about returning to school after Christmas and the New Year I did not anticipate the training day on Monday then Borris’ announcement and then to experience dual remote learning and in classroom teaching! This is my first lockdown experience in school and I really hope that it is the last! I must prefer having my crew in person! #missyou #wehavegotthis #crewelmer #lockdown21

Star moment of the day: ⭐

This has got to be our Expedition lesson this morning. This week I have slowly been introducing the Romans to children and explaining that this will be our Expedition focus this half term but today I was blown away as the children completed their KWL grids to show what they already know and what they would like to find out. The children listed some really interesting and thoughtful questions. Well done Crew! 🙌😊⭐🤩👏👍📝✏💻

Todays HoWL average is: 3.1

This is an excellent HoWL average to finish off a crazy week! Well done Crew! You really are proving that we have got this! 🙌👏👍⭐🤩

This week’s HoWL target is: 3.3

How can we develop this next week? 

All crew members need to ensure that they are either ready to learn in the classroom or online from Tuesday! I am hoping that we will get lots of 4’s next week! 🤞

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Today’s HoWL Hero was Jazmin! Jazmin was chosen by myself for consistently being on task. With having fewer children in the classroom and a lot of children accessing learning online meaning that the classroom environment has been very different this week. However, Jazmin has adapted well and remained on task. She has worked incredibly hard today and even when she has struggled she has maintained a positive attitude and asked for help. Excellent work Jazmin! Well done for coming to school and for trying your best! This is going to help you to make lots of progress this half term I am sure! 👍👏💻🤩⭐😊

Reminders:

Homework is going to commence from Monday so please can you support children at home with completing this. The children will also be expected to read at least 4 times a week as usual. For those children doing remote learning this will be added to Google Classroom for you. Please ensure that it is submitted by Friday!

PE is going to resume this week and will take place on a Tuesday afternoon. On this day children may come to school in their PE kits as they did last half term. Please make sure that children are in warm comfortable clothing as this lesson will take place outside! A dojo message has gone out about this. Please respond through Dojo if you have any questions or queries. Those children working from home will be supported by Miss Hart to complete a series of Joe Wicks work outs! 😅🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💪👟

Another lovely day of in school and online learning!

Today we continued our Fire Dragon writing! 🐉 The children thought about how the dragon was moving and its actions. We created some lovely writing. In maths we consolidated our column method for addition. 🧮

HOWLs

Today our HOWL score was 3! This is a big improvement thanks to more children engaging with online and in school learning.

Today our HOWL heroes were…

✨ Work hard – Preston for returning to school with a positive attitude

✨ Get smart – Rome for working beyond his expected standard

✨ Be kind – Darcie for kindness online

My star moment today was how everyone in Crew Marsh completed all of their learning tasks, showed they could focus on their learning and therefore produced some beautiful, neat work in their books. This has been great to see! 👍✨✨

Average is: 3.0

Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0!

How can we develop this tomorrow?

Crew Marsh need to continue to be more mindful in putting their hand up tomorrow rather than getting out of their seat, this is something as a Crew that we need to be mindful of.

Today’s HoWL Hero:

Our Get Smart hero today is Preston! 😁👌

Preston is a superstar in math lessons! He has blown me away with how much arithmetic knowledge he has remembered and is able to apply to a range of questions. He can also do this at a good pace! Well done Preston! 👏🙌😊

What a great week we’ve had in Crew Fox. In the past three days, we’ve achieved so much progress – we are overwhelmed with how smooth the online learning has gone. All children have accessed the same learning and today we reached 100% attendance – AMAZING. We hope this continues next week, super work by all.

Thank you to parents for ensuring children are logged in on time, this has helped with the smooth transition from morning task to crew and into the days learning.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
