Crew Jackson – Excellent English learning

Well done everyone on a fantastic English lesson today. You analysed the model text so well and confidently identified the criteria for writing a good science report, considering layout, vocabulary,, sentence types, punctuation and grammatical features. I am so proud of you all for your hard work.

Crew Jackson – Exploring gravity

This morning, we began our case study on forces. First, we built up our background knowledge on forces and gravity using videos, discussion and reading facts around the room. Then we explored what happens when we drop two identical bottles containing different amounts of water. The children were surprised to discover that they hit the ground at the same time – despite many attempts to prove the theory wrong!

Well done everyone – you all worked so hard in our double expedition lesson today! #Ogdentrust

Crew Jackson – Vocabulary lesson

This morning, in our reading lesson we used the thesaurus to find synonyms for given words. Everyone worked hard to understand the meaning of the vocabulary in our story and could explain the definitions.

Crew Jackson – Accelerated Reading

Today, we enjoyed reading books of our choice in Accelerated Reader Time. Everyone is working hard to improve their reading fluency and trying to increase their minutes by quizzing more frequently.
