Developing empathy in diversity week

31st March 2022Jillian Jackson

As part of diversity week, yesterday we watched a short film called ‘Umbrella’. I am so proud of the wonderful human beings the children in Crew Jackson are. They showed a real understanding of what empathy is and demonstrated this through the discussions they led about the characters feelings at different points in the story.

Crew Jackson love XP outdoors

Wow! I am gutted that I didn’t get to take part in this weeks XP outdoors sessions! The kids talked with such enthusiasm about the soup and s’mores they cooked and enjoyed today. The big smiles and the chocolate round the mouth said it all! Check out the happy faces in the photo gallery below.

Y5/6 Celebration of Learning

A huge well done to Y5/6 who shared their expedition learning this afternoon in the sunshine! They presented their gorgeous art work in their photo frames which were handmade by themselves!

I was also so proud of their passionate speeches about endangered animals and it was lovely to see how proud all of the children were when they saw their product hung up around the school grounds!

Well done to all of Y5/6 today who celebrated their learning from our current expedition ‘How can we help our world survive?’ The children spoke with great enthusiasm and could recall prior learning throughout our 3 case studies. In addition to this, their art work was amazing and we would all like to give a shout out to Mrs Green for her awesome art lessons in G Block! Well done Y5/6 everyone is very proud of you 🙂

Editing and improving our writing

23rd March 2022Jillian Jackson

This week in Crew Jackson, we have been critiquing our speech writing against the rubric and specific features. I have been so impressed with the way the children have supported each other with the editing and improving process.

I can’t wait to read their final touchdowns and listen to them read their speeches.

We are crew!

This afternoon, I was blown away by the collaboration and kindness shown in Crew Jackson. The children encouraged, supported and coached each other through the challenge of sawing wood to make their frames for their final product. Their attitudes were so positive and I could not have asked for more from them. I loved the save the animal posters the children created that go with the speeches they are currently writing in English. It was definitely a ‘Happy Thursday’ in our crew today!

I am super proud of you all. Mrs Jackson x
