Crew Jackson: Practical science learning

15th October 2025Jillian Jackson

Year 6 have been learning all about plant reproduction this morning. To build their background knowledge, the children explored informative videos, engaging reading materials, and class discussions about how flowering plants reproduce. With their curiosity sparked, they then had the opportunity to dissect lilies and carefully identify and label each part of the flower. Everyone worked together to deepen their understanding. Fun was had by all, and the pupils demonstrated excellent learning attitudes throughout the activity!

Year 6 – Guess the sweets!

9th October 2025Jillian Jackson

It was so lovely to receive this wonderful letter about our Year 6 children. During the transition event at Axholme Academy, the maths department had a guess the number of sweets in the jar competition. What a surprise that one of our children was the closest in their guess! Carter has gone home today with a bag of sweets, certificate and a copy of the letter. Well done!
