What a terrific Tuesday we have had in Crew Wilson.
Highlights of the day:
Moving around school: Today we had school photographs and our Crew were showing the ‘Green Standard’ to everyone they saw around school. They have made their teachers very proud at how sensible they have been, well done Crew Wilson!
Phonics: Today we have been smashing our Read Write Inc phonics! We know that reading and writing is very important, so we have been practicing lots of speedy sounds throughout the day! We have got so fast at this, we managed to get through our Set 1 sounds twice in 60 seconds!! Tomorrow’s target is to get through the pack three times in a minute – We can do this!!
If you would like to help with this at home, there is a video that you can watch with your children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYuzt5qv1ZI – the faster they can do this, the better their recognition is.
Theme: In our theme lesson we have been continuing with our box model representation of our community – today’s focus was on the wonderful trees that we can see out of the school windows and along the streets of Carcroft. We were being wonderful sculptors, taking our time to mould chicken-wire to get our desired shape, then added pipe-cleaners for branches, which will then be paper-mached and painted. We found working with metal was quite tricky but the Crew were very resilient and worked collaboratively to make sure everyone had a good final product.
Howl Heroes
Work Hard: This Howl goes to Eva for showing the ‘Green Standard’ across the board in our class today, Eva is always willing to have a go and will try doing something herself before asking for help, great resilience Eva!
Get Smart: This Howl goes to Finlay for contributing to class discussions with some great points – especially when we have recapped our learning so far this term in Crew this morning. Finlay has shown that he is actively engaged in our lessons as he can explain and describe everything we have learned about so far, well done Finn!
Being Kind: This Howl goes to Miami today, for contributing to our classroom organisation and keeping areas tidy. Miami noticed that coats were on the floor and went to find their owners without being asked, brilliant work Miami!
Howl Average
3.8 today! We have worked hard today to get our average score up, the biggest improvement today has been our listening skills!
