Crew Jackson enjoying reading for pleasure


In Crew Jackson this afternoon the children have enjoyed sharing books and reading for pleasure. They loved looking at our new expedition train books and reading our class text Harry Potter, our transition stories and our selection of new reading for pleasure books.

I can’t wait to get started on Accelerated Reader!

Fantastic Crew building in Crew Jackson

What a great start to the new year in Crew Jackson today!  We have had the busiest day ever and the children have all worked incredibly hard in their learning.  I have been particularly impressed with the reading and retrieval of information both in our English lesson and in our artist research lesson.

The day started with a variety of crew building activities and it was so lovely seeing their great collaboration skills.  Fantastic free-standing shoe towers were created and a great fact finding mission took to place to find out all about the other members of their crew.  Check out the photos below.

Keep up the hard work tomorrow guys!

Cocoon D’s awesome transition work

Check out the amazing transition work done today by the brilliant children in Cocoon D.  They used water colours to create a patterned hand and I was so impressed with their careful work.  After that they generated words to describe themselves.

Great work guys.  You were all amazing!
