This morning we completely immersed ourselves in the rainforest by reading the many clues to find out about the different layers of the rainforest. We treasure hunted new vocabulary around the classroom, looked at an image, read lots of facts and shared a poem; all of this helped us collaborate to create anchor charts. We went on to produce our own rainforest flap books and I was blown away by not only the recall of facts but by the time and care taken in ensuring their work was presented to a high standard.

Keep up the great work everyone! Mrs Jackson x

This afternoon the children wrote letters to themselves about what they want to achieve by the end of Year 6. The children all thought really carefully about their own personal goals and aspirations – considering their HOWLs, character growth, crew, SATs, academic success and beautiful work. After they finished, they were sealed in envelopes addressed to themselves and put away to save for the end of the year. The children will get to open and read them again in July and see the progress they have made and how successful they have been towards achieving their goals.

What a morning of super collaborative work we have had in Crew Jackson. The children worked so hard applying their knowledge of antonyms, synonyms and well-known sayings to solve the murder mystery at the orchestra. Keep up the hard work!
