Crew Jackson – We can find factors
Well done everyone – you smashed maths this morning and could find the common factors of different numbers using your times table knowledge.
Times Tables Rockstars Day! 🎤🎸
Check out our video from Times Tables Rockstars Day!
Now this is dedication to practicing your reading!
Check out how dedicated Summer-Mai is to practicing her reading outside of school. I love how Summer-Mai has combined two of her favourite past times – dancing and reading! If she isn’t dancing or doing gymnastics then you will always see her settling down to enjoy a good book. Keep up the hard work Summer-Mai! 🙂
We are biologists!
This week Crew Jackson have hooked themselves into our Biology case study. We have learnt about the main parts of the circulatory system, focusing on the parts of the heart and their functions. Yesterday, we dissected a lamb’s heart to deepen our knowledge and understanding. I was so impressed with their attitude to something that was completely different and out of our comfort zone. Well done everyone with a great week of expedition. 🙂
Hooked into our new class text
This morning in year 5 we introduced the new class text to the children. The children were given different snapshots of the front cover and had great discussions about what they could infer and predict about the book. They eventually worked out that the book was called Pig Heart Boy.
I loved listening to the children’s discussions and hearing them apply their scientific learning from yesterday’s expedition lesson as we read and discussed the first two chapters. Silent discussion was used to reflect on chapter one and the children were fab at reading and agreeing with others comments. It is not often Crew Jackson can have a discussion without talking!
Musicians in the making!
Wow year 5 have been absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in G-Block the past couple of weeks with our new music sessions! Not only do they look the part, but they are sounding brilliant and are developing and deepening their knowledge and understanding of music too! We have looked at different music notes, revised key words such as tempo and pitch, and the children can tell you the importance and purpose of a beat, as well as the style of different songs. They have enjoyed the vocal warm ups and have also loved learning our main song ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ which we will continue to practice over the next few weeks ready for a final performance!
Keep it up my little rockstars!! I’m really impressed 😀

National Numeracy Day – 18th May
We are looking forward to celebrating National Numeracy Day on Wednesday 18th May!
Maths is all around us and in the run up to National Numeracy Day, I would love for you to take some photos of you that link to maths! Maybe it will be a picture of you using money to pay for something in the shop, maybe it will be of how many steps you have walked in a day, or maybe it will be of you practising your maths skills!
How creative can you be finding maths around your home and in the community? Please send all of your photographs to [email protected] so that I can make a video to celebrate maths!
Also, check out the official website (link below) because there are lots of fun activities that you can do with your children!

Y5 and Y6 Out of this World Winners
A massive shout out for Friday’s winners for Out of this World. In year 5 we had Faith, Danny, Courtney and Lola, who have all shown excellent learning attitudes over the last couple of weeks. In year 6 we had Levi, Reion and all of Crew Knowles for their excellent attitudes as they have prepared themselves, ready to tackle their SATs this week.
Better World Day
In Year 5 this morning we discussed Better World Day and how many of our expeditions have linked with making our World a better place to live. We went on to make posters about all the things we can do to support this further.
