Year 5 were singing stars today performing the Bon Jovi classic Livin’ On A Prayer.
They then listened to the rock anthem We Will Rock You by Queen and each class agreed that the hook of the song was the famous ‘clap, clap, stomp’ rhythm. They identified the similarities and differences between the two songs and then blew me away as they recorded the various musical elements, including the pulse, rhythm and texture of both songs.
Well done my super rockstars!
Check out the fabulous Jubilee art work produced in Crew Jackson this morning, during in G-Block with Mrs Green.
I am super impressed with everyone! x
So lovely to see everyone working collaboratively in XP outdoors this morning. The children worked together to collect their own resources from the outside classroom to then build and make a catapult.
Well done Crew Jackson!
Wow! Year 5/6 had such a lovely Family Learning event this afternoon! They were each able to choose an activity to participate in and each activity linked to our current expedition about looking after our minds and bodies.
The activities on offer were Zumba, football rounders, tag rugby, bench ball, outdoor cooking and making healthy meals!
It looked like all the children and adults were having lots of fun and it was great to see the adult participation. Thank you to all that attended and we hope you enjoyed it!
This afternoon in Y5/6 Family Learning the children took part in different activities linked to our expedition. I enjoyed hosting a Ready Steady Cook challenge and we had a fantastic time creating healthy and creative dishes. Well done everyone – I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Y6 are looking to raise money to help fund some of our upcoming leavers celebrations such as buying leavers hoodies and autograph books.
We have 2 fantastic Harry Potter hampers to give away to 2 lucky winners!
Your child will bring home a strip of raffle tickets this week which are 50p per ticket. If you would like to buy any, please add in your tickets and the correct amount of money in to a sealed envelope and pass on to your class teacher. If you would like more tickets, please see the school office.
The raffle will be drawn on Friday 17th June. Good luck!
In Crew Jackson we genuinely do love our monthly arithmetic test! The competition was on and everyone was determined to beat their April score. I was so impressed with their attitudes and hard work. They well and truly smashed it and I could not be prouder of each and everyone of them. Take a look at the focus on their faces in the photos below.
On Friday afternoon after a downpour at lunchtime, we decided to do dance in the classroom instead of risk the weather and slippy grass for cricket. What a fantastic decision! It was great to see everyone joining in, getting a fabulous workout and having fun as a crew. I loved it and as you can see in the pictures the kids did too!
On Tuesday 24th May at 1:45pm it is our Y5 and Y6 Family Learning event. The children will be asked to select from a range of activities that link to our expedition ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact our mind and body?’. Many of these activities will be taking place outdoors and we suggest you come suitably dressed for if your child selects to do a sporting activity.
We hope you can join us!

Today in Crew Jackson we began our draft touchdown writing. The children are writing a diary entry through the eyes of Cameron, the main character in our class text ‘Pig heart boy’. The children were so focused on ensuring they produced their best written work, including many of the features of a diary as well as grammar features from year 5. I can’t wait to read the final written pieces as the children showed so much empathy with the character and really considered his thoughts and feelings.
Well done guys!
