Crew Jackson – active learning in English

25th September 2025Jillian Jackson

Today in our English lesson we ensured we kept ourselves active as this not only helped us stay engaged but meant we had opportunities to move around the room and work collaboratively with others. In spelling we went on a treasure hunt around the room to read the words and select the correct missing word for each sentence. After we completed our story plans, we danced around the room to music and when the music stopped we shared our ideas and told our story verbally to a new partner. Some were more willing dancers than others!

Well done everyone – great learning!

Class Spetch – We love reading!

Yesterday in our reading lesson, we investigated the meaning of some of the tricky vocabulary in this weeks text. We had a little bit of word bingo to spot some of the words and then practiced reading around the word to see if we could predict what the words meant. It was lovely to see lots of great collaboration around the classroom when the children independently answered their vocabulary questions! Well done everyone!

Class 10 – Peer Critique and Coaching in Handwriting

24th September 2025Claire Dutton

Class 10 are busy working on their handwriting and today, in our handwriting lesson, we worked in pairs to give specific and helpful critique to our partners in order to help them improve their quality and craftsmanship. I was super impressed with the excellent conversations I could hear between everyone – well done boys and girls!

Crew Jackson – peer critique

24th September 2025Jillian Jackson

This morning in English we applied our knowledge of speech punctuation and how to use dialogue to show character and action. The children produced some excellent short extracts linked to our class text which were proved further through the use of peer critique. Well done guys – I am excited to plan and write our chapters next week.

Crew Jackson – Expedition Learning

24th September 2025Jillian Jackson

This week we are geographers as we explore how the physical characteristics of a location impact the human activity that takes place there. We have compared Brazil and the UK, focusing on farming, transport and leisure activities. I am really impressed with the craftmanship and quality shown in the children’s work.
