Today, we enjoyed reading books of our choice in Accelerated Reader Time. Everyone is working hard to improve their reading fluency and trying to increase their minutes by quizzing more frequently.

Girls Tag Rugby Winners
Well done to our Y5&6 girls who won the tag rugby festival on Friday at Thornensians. Even though the girls have never played rugby before they played fantastic throughout the whole tournament and won every game they played. Well done girls!
Crew Jackson – Library visit
As part of National Libraries Week, we paid a visit to Thorne Library this morning. Everyone enjoyed sharing books, completing activities and helping put books back on to the shelves. Edward even learnt how to be a librarian, checking books in and out!
Crew Jackson – Fabulous home learning
A big shout out to Charlie for producing more fabulous home learning. Thank you for sharing these pictures of your solar system recreated using lego. This shows not only your scientific knowledge but your creativity too. Well done Charlie!
Y5/6 Arts and craft club
Crew Jackson – What is religion?
As part of Green Top Faith Day, we explored the question ‘What is religion?’. The children were very reflective in their thoughts and then went on to look up the definition in the dictionary. In small groups the children explored one of the six main religions and then presented their findings to the class.
Well done everyone.
Crew Jackson – Fantastic story maps
This morning, we created story maps to plan our own version of the next part of the story. I was blown away with the ideas the children came up with – using both their imaginations but also their background knowledge from the reading so far.
I can’t wait to write the chapter next week and read your amazing versions of the text.
