Who is in our support network? – Children’s Mental Health Week
This morning in Crew Jackson, we discussed who supports us to grow, who lifts us up and who teaches us new things. We recorded these by beginning to create ‘support network hot air balloons’. The children were very reflective when sharing who is in their support network and why those people are important.
We are scientists
Keep working hard guys!
Celebrating home learning
A massive shout out to Oliver for his awesome home learning. I was blown away with his hard work at home to produce the layers of the rainforest. This morning he showed great confidence in explaining it to our crew.
Thanks for sharing Oliver. You definitely deserve 50 Work Hard HOWL points!
Celebrating Maths Day in Crew Jackson
It was lovely to see so many children dressed up for the NSPCC Maths Day. Big shout out to Summer-Mai and Jakobi who won a small prize for creating their own unique maths themed tops.
We enjoyed a chilled out afternoon to end a work of hard work by eating biscuits and practicing our times tables on ttrockstars. Our Crew are determined to win Mr Ambler’s Year 5 Battle of the Bands!
This week we realised how important knowing our times table facts is. We needed to know them for converting fractions to the same denominator and also for calculating perimeter during our maths talk session.
Keep practicing guys!

We are biologists!
This afternoon, in Crew Jackson we began our case study 2 on the biology of animals. Today we focused on animal classification. Everyone was full of enthusiasm for sharing their prior knowledge and then after research we shared further knowledge we had gained. The children were very proud of the anchor charts they created.
Focused reading in ALL BLock today
Well done Crew Jackson on concentrating on developing your reading skills during our session this morning. You were all super focused and this meant you got smarter at reading. Let’s keep this up every reading session!

Digital Leaders
Notice for all students in Year 2 to Year 5!
Students in Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 have an amazing opportunity to become a Digital Leader within their class.
This is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their own individual skills when it comes to the latest technology. Children who are successful will get the opportunity to visit XP East and potentially the Apple Store to have further training on how to use technology including iPads, MacBooks and some of the other great products that are used throughout school. Our Digital Leaders will then become the experts who can then pass on their knowledge to others.
Below is a link to the Digital Leaders website where you can find out further information.

Applications will need to be sent to Mr Taylor by Thursday 3rd February explaining why you would make a fantastic Digital Leader. This can be done in a format of your choice including a letter, slides or even a video showcasing your IT skills.
We look forward to receiving your applications!
Climate change
This afternoon in Crew Jackson, we discussed the causes and effects of climate change. The children were really interested in finding out new information as well sharing what they already knew. It was really powerful to see how passionate some children are about helping our world survive!
Keep up the great work guys! Mrs Jackson
