Another lovely week celebrating lots of success in our Year 5/6 Crews! Once again it was lovely to hear lots of shout outs linking to our character traits and hearing positive things about different children!
Keep up the great work everyone!
The children enjoyed this week’s Hindu story of the 6 blind men and the elephant. The message of the story was that the truth can be seen in different ways because all of the blind men thought that the elephant looked differently. They had a go at the quiz and even took turns to wear a blindfold and guess what the object was that they were holding. Another fantastic discussion was had about truth and integrity. Well done class 8!
This week in crew, Crew Knowles shared their writing with each other offering verbal critique. We remembered to be kind, helpful and specific with our critique to support our peers with the rest of their writing!
So parents and carers are aware, as part of reading week, our KS2 children will be visiting Thorne Library at different points during WC 6th October and we can’t wait!
During Reading Week, our reading ambassadors will be hosting a family learning session to celebrate all things reading! The session will take place between 2pm – 3pm on Thursday 9th October.
There will also be a book sale, our crack the code competition and other bookish items to buy at the event!

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who could attend our family learning event today … we hope you enjoyed our Roman Numeral Crack the Code experience! And for those that managed to uncover the secret the message – well done!
We have watched an E-Safety video today and the children have sorted some scenarios into true or false. I was really pleased that they listened and understood how to stay safe when online!
A big thank you to Miss Myers who brought two piglets from her farm to visit nursery this morning. This was to support our phonics learning this week when we have been singing ‘Old McDonald had a farm’ and learning about animal sounds.
The children showed great care for the piglets and thoroughly enjoyed stoking them.
Here is this week’s spelling practice: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Nb7RT0YlzLpH9ZohSyduZjiqCWUE5QM/view?usp=sharing
Crew Rodgers exercised their right to be part of decisions which affect them TWICE this morning. First we discussed and suggested new items for Relish to offer on the salad bar at lunchtime – and the children came up with some delicious ideas, and then we were tasked with holding a vote on which platform we think our recent musical project “A Place Where We Belong” should be hosted. We linked the decision to our Character Traits and voted unanimously for the platform which offered us the opportunity to help other people with our song. I was so proud of the mature way the children debated the issue to make the decision.
Great job Crew!
