Well done to our Y5/6 footballers who took part in our first Legacy competition of the year yesterday. Despite their great effort throughout the tournament we lost out 1-0 in the quarter finals. Well done boys!

Y6 Rock & Roll
Yesterday, Y6 had great fun listening to Mr Pickles play some classic rock & roll songs and drumming along to the music!
Year 6 – Sharing our own stories
After a morning of editing and improving our stories, we enjoyed sharing them in small story-telling groups. It was lovely to see the courage that everyone showed at reading their own story out loud for others to listen to, as well as the compassion and respect the children showed each other when listening.
Well done Year 6 – we are so proud of you all! x
Year 6 – Shout out to Esmae
Well done Esmae for winning Mrs Fitz’s Year 6 attendance raffle prize today!
Crew 5/6 – Community Crew!
Another lovely week celebrating lots of success in our Year 5/6 Crews! Once again it was lovely to hear lots of shout outs linking to our character traits and hearing positive things about different children!
Keep up the great work everyone!
Crew Jackson – Active spelling
In year 6, we continue to work on the spelling pattern of adding able, able, ably, ably to the end of words. Yesterday we kept ourselves active by playing a game of ‘Boom boom clap’. It was great fun but also it was fabulous to see the children recalling the correct spelling patterns.
Crew Jackson – Shout out for home learning
Last night, I was blown away when Layla’s Dad shared these photos with me. A massive shout out for some amazing home learning linked to our expedition on rainforests. Layla has spent time at home this week building an Amazon Rainforest hut and I think the children in our class text ‘The Explorer’ would welcome this as a new home to stay in. Thank you for bringing it in to share with our crew – it looks fabulous on display in our classroom.
Crew Jackson – active learning in English
Today in our English lesson we ensured we kept ourselves active as this not only helped us stay engaged but meant we had opportunities to move around the room and work collaboratively with others. In spelling we went on a treasure hunt around the room to read the words and select the correct missing word for each sentence. After we completed our story plans, we danced around the room to music and when the music stopped we shared our ideas and told our story verbally to a new partner. Some were more willing dancers than others!
Well done everyone – great learning!
Crew Jackson – peer critique
This morning in English we applied our knowledge of speech punctuation and how to use dialogue to show character and action. The children produced some excellent short extracts linked to our class text which were proved further through the use of peer critique. Well done guys – I am excited to plan and write our chapters next week.
Crew Jackson – Expedition Learning
This week we are geographers as we explore how the physical characteristics of a location impact the human activity that takes place there. We have compared Brazil and the UK, focusing on farming, transport and leisure activities. I am really impressed with the craftmanship and quality shown in the children’s work.
