Fire Safety

Last week we were very lucky to have had Fireman James from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue visit the children to talk about fire safety and how to keep safe on Bonfire Night.

The children thoroughly enjoyed his visit and loved seeing the uniform he wears.

Thank you for coming to see us Fireman James!

#Take10toRead in Crew Jackson

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!

 

#take10toread

Aidan was making the most of the glorious weather today and decided to take 10 minutes out to enjoy a book. What a place to read it too 🙂

Hope everyone manages to take 10 minutes out for themselves today too…nothing better than getting engrossed into a good book.

Enjoy your weekend

It’s okay to be okay!


In
 Crew Jackson we have explored our new feeling charts and the 5 point scale they represent. We have spent time in crew circle discussing how it is okay to feel okay! We explored how in the past the children have said they are feeling angry or sad but now when they reflect they realise they are “ okay but tired…okay but something upset them…okay but something hurts.”

We talked about how it feels, what it looks like and what it sounds like when we have a serious concern or are out of control. It was good to hear the children reflect on behaviours linked to these feelings.

 

 

 

Class 6 Learning Legends

Lots of fantastic learning attitudes in Class 6 yesterday in all areas of the curriculum.

Olivia showed she was a real Have a go Henry in our maths blast off by challenging herself to give every question a try no matter how tricky.

Harrison’s hand was forever in the air as he volunteered answers to every question asked during Mrs Walton’s RE session in G Block.

And Logan produced some outstanding adjectives to label a picture of himself in our Literacy Labs.

You are all-round, out of this world superstars Class 6 and we are very proud of you!

Daddy Bear or Baby Bear?

In Nursery this week we have been getting better at using mathematical language to describe the size of different objects. We started this topic by reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and comparing big Daddy Bear, middle-sized Mummy Bear and tiny Baby Bear. Today the children were given the challenge of sorting out which items belonged to Daddy Bear and Baby Bear. They loved exploring the feely bag and deciding which shoes, socks, tshirt, shorts, cup and spoon belonged to who. I was so impressed with their use of words such as ‘bigger, smaller, huge, little and tiny’. Well done Nursery Crew!

We are Artists

Class 6 have been showing their artistic flair today by drawing Matilda from our new core text in the style of it’s illustrator, Quentin Blake. I’m sure you will agree, Reeva, Deacon, Harrison and Imogen thoroughly deserved our Learning Legend postcards today.

Great job guys!
