This week we are revisiting how to spell words with the letters ‘ough’ in them. Did you know the letter string can make 7 different sounds?
Check out the video below as a reminder.
The children enjoyed testing themselves on their spelling whilst doing a word hunt in class today.
This afternoon, we looked at and discussed lots of different photos showing significant events from the past. The children worked collaboratively to sequence the events into chronological order. Great work guys!
Great team effort this week to try and complete a jigsaw…even I got to do a few pieces!
Well done Crew Jackson on some excellent collaboration and discussion about character traits in our English lesson today.
The children discussed the meanings of the words, grouped the traits into sets of synonyms and antonyms and finally went on to select which words best described ‘Scoob’ the main character in our new book. All children could explain why they had selected different words and used evidence from the story so far to support their impression.
Keep up the hard work guys!
Today we started our science case study – the aim to prove that light travels in straight lines. We had a fantastic time investigating and could give clear explanations of our findings. I was particularly impressed with the scientific diagrams the children did to evidence their work.
Keep up the hard work guys! From Mrs Jackson
All the children in year 5 and 6 worked really hard last week to bake and decorate shortbread and gingerbread ready for the Christmas Fair. They all looked delicious – a fantastic job everyone!
A fabulous party day has been had in Crew Jackson – from Christmas singing and dancing to party games. The day was finished with presents from Santa!
In science club this week, we used the Ipads to take pictures of things with different properties. We recorded our findings on a Jamboard.
Another week, another lovely opportunity to get our Y5 and Y6 crews together to celebrate all things Green Top!
Lots of shout outs for yesterday’s trip to Trinity by the athletics team – well done all for coming 2nd overall. And, more shout outs across the phase for some fantastic collaboration going into preparing our lectures on space for next week – we can’t wait to see you there.
A huge well done to all of our HOWL point winners as well as our OOTW champions too, and thank you to those parents who were able to join us as part of their celebration.
