Diversity Session 2

In this diversity session we looked at hope and empathy, the children were really engaged in this and really thought about our HOWLS in relation to this. To end the lesson the children created their own posters for things they hope will happen and their aspirations in life.

We then displayed their posters around the classroom so everyone could admire each others hopes for the future and had a lovely gallery walk of these.

SUPER SHOUT OUTS for class 5!

WHAT a week this week, we have been working so hard in our assessments this week and to top it off, class 5 have had some amazing work to celebrate this morning! Here are our Be Kind, Work Hard and Get Smart post card winners this week. Everyone deserves a huge shout out though, it’s been a tough old week so far but the hard work is really paying off in the outcomes of our assessments!

Crucial Crew

Really proud of how maturely my class participated in some really tough scenarios today at the Crucial Crew workshop.
The sessions were taught by expert volunteers from South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership and covered a range of serious issues in our local surroundings.

Editing and improving our writing

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.

Phonics Update

The children have been working super hard in their phonics and shared reading sessions over the last few weeks and we are seeing lots of success!

The sounds we have covered so far this year are:

It has been lovely to read so many lovely comments from proud parents in the children’s reading diaries.

Academic Crew – Crew Jeeves

This morning during academic crew the children looked through their maths book and found a piece of work that they were proud of. They then wrote down what they were most proud of and gave themselves a praise for their work. It was lovely to see the children reflect on their work and be proud of their achievements. Well done Crew Jeeves some amazing work.
