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!

This week the children were excited to find lots of Autumn leaves in our outdoor areas.
In our Phonics labs we often practise recognising and writing the letters we have been learning. We are getting better and better every day and we love this activity. We play some gentle music for 5 minutes and the children walk around the room, find a letter and practise writing it three times. We continue until the music stops.
After our phonics learning some of the children chose to use whiteboards and pens to practise their skills.
Well done everyone for working super hard in Phonics labs.
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!
It was lovely to be able to welcome Class 10’s family back into the classroom this week. The children enjoyed sharing everything they’ve learnt about Romans with their parents. They were also involved in some hands on activities.
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!
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

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.
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!
We had a great day at Danum Museum today learning even more about the Romans and how we know they used to be in Doncaster.
