What a way to finish off an amazing start to Year 6! After a brilliant camp out last night where the children showed excellent behaviours, it was wonderful to see them still go home smiling (yet rather tired!) following fun with the water games. Have a relaxing weekend guys – you deserve it! This week you have proved that you are going to be a fabulous year 6 crew this year!

Yesterday, we took part in a whole KS2 orienteering competition where children had to use maps, teamwork and speed to get around the markers on the course in the quickest time! Shout out to all of Y6 for completing the course and working together as a Y6 crew. There was definitely some competition on show!
After a fun night camping, bacon sandwiches for breakfast and camp stewardship tasks, we are now enjoying some chill time – watching a film, drawing and even a game of draughts is going on! Tired but happy year 6 children!
Today we had some fantastic writing as the children wrote a letter to their future self about what their life in year 6 will be like. I know they will love opening and reading them at the end of the year!
We also completed a crew challenge – the boys smashed it again!
Please join us for our Year 5/6 family learning event on Wednesday 3rd September 2-3pm! Our family learning session will involve orienteering outdoors and we can’t wait!
This afternoon Mr Kershaw organised a crew water activity for Year 6. They were challenged to get the most water from one end of the area to the other using only 5 planks of wood and a bucket with holes in! Well done to Crew Jackson you smashed it and beat Crew Ambler both times!
Big shout out to Carter for his quick thinking and ability to problem solve – you were fantastic in ensuring we got the most water into our bucket.
Massive shout out to everyone in Crew Jackson for a fantastic morning – I love your hardworking, positive attitudes to school life. Well done for all taking on the role of ‘young learning coaches’ this morning – I know that Mr Kershaw, Miss Rodgers and Miss Walton really appreciated your support.
Wow! What a fabulous first day we have had in Crew Jackson. I have been blown away by the calmness at settling in, the positive attitudes and the hard work they have already displayed. We have done so much today including: creating our classroom norms, completing a fun collaborative crew task, work around pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, enjoyed some chilled reading for pleasure time, started some art work ‘all about themselves’ and established stewardship roles within our crew. Check out a few photos below that show case our amazing day.
Well done everyone from Mrs Jackson x
