The Learning Council members really enjoyed visiting the Year 5/6 classrooms yesterday to watch maths in actions! They captured lots of lovely learning happening which you can check out below!
Also, a big thank you to all those that have taken part in our ‘guess the sweets’ activity! We will be visiting EYFS on Friday to take their guesses and then will reveal the winner next week! The Learning Council can’t wait!
Crew Jackson are blowing me away at the moment with their awesome reading skills. Not only are they confidently developing their fluency when reading non-fiction, they are showing they can use their inference skills to match dates and facts that show the evolution of trains over time.
Keep up the hard work guys!
Mrs Jackson
Well done Crew Jackson on fantastic history learning this afternoon. You all used your reading inference skills to match facts about Doncaster Plant Works to the correct phase in its history. I was so impressed with your collaboration and communication skills.
Keep up the great work!
Mrs Jackson
Great collaborative learning this morning with lots of discussion with peers on which calculation needs to be done to solve a problem. The children are really starting to gain a better understanding about when to use inverse calculations.
Keep working hard everyone!
Mrs Jackson
This afternoon Crew Jackson worked collaboratively to research about some of the engineers that influenced the Industrial Revolution and the progression of the railways during this stage in history. They worked hard to gather as much information as they could, ready to create fact files tomorrow. Keep up the great work guys!
Thank you to everyone who came to support our event this afternoon! What a great way to help our community and be kind! We are looking forward to working with the experts from the park railway after half term and also handing over the money we raised today.
Thanks to everyone who had a go on our ‘guess the …’ games!

On Friday morning, in Crew Jackson, we took part in the the National Literacy Trust take 10 to read challenge. The children really enjoyed listening live to Tom Percival read an extract from his new book then teach them how to show different emotions in their drawings. We went on to escape for 10 minutes with a good book. There is nothing better for your well-being than reading a good book!
REMINDER
Dear parents/carers,
On Tuesday 12th October 2021 we will be inviting you to join our family learning celebration. Our current expedition is centred around the history of rail and we would like to work closely with the local community by supporting Thorne Miniature Railway, who are currently fundraising to keep their service running.
This will be taking place in Thorne Park where our children will be hosting stalls to raise funds in support of the miniature railway.
On Friday 1st October we will be taking part in a non-uniform day. To come in non uniform we would appreciate a donation for the tombola that will be one of the stalls at our fundraiser.
On family learning day we would like to invite you to join us at Thorne park and support your children. On 12/10/21, Year 5 and 6 will be running stalls and have the opportunity to have a ride on the miniature train and learn about how it works.
To enable this to happen children will need to be collected from Green Top at 2:00pm and meet us in the park by 2:15. This will give you a chance to enjoy the event prior to the rest of school and the local public being invited to join us at 3:00pm. Unfortunately if you are unable to join us children will remain in school until 3pm where they can be collected as usual.
Please email [email protected] to let us know your intentions.
Thank you, Team 5/6.
