We spent a very chocolatey afternoon in class 6 making delicious Easter treats. The temptation to lick the spoon was almost unbearable, but I managed it…just!
The children will be bringing these home tomorrow along with their other Easter goodies.
Developing empathy in diversity week
As part of diversity week, yesterday we watched a short film called ‘Umbrella’. I am so proud of the wonderful human beings the children in Crew Jackson are. They showed a real understanding of what empathy is and demonstrated this through the discussions they led about the characters feelings at different points in the story.

Family learning fun!
Class 5 had a brilliant morning of family fun, collecting up lots of resources to make bug hotels with! We used techniques like shredding and glueing that we have been looking at in art to get creative with compostable material safe for our wonderful wildlife.
Have a look at some of our work…
Celebration of Learning

Today’s diversity learning
As part of diversity week class 6 watched a video about disability called The Present. A boy is gifted a puppy but is very unkind to it when he realises it has lost one of its legs. The children’s shocked faces when they saw how cruelly the boy treated the puppy were clear to see, showing just how they felt about his behaviour. He eventually warms to the puppy and takes it to play outside. It is at this point it becomes clear that the boy has also lost part of his leg. The children discussed how this would have made him feel and was perhaps the reason he was so unkind to the puppy.
What amazing empathy the children showed towards the situation and what mature conversations they had about how being disabled did not mean you were any less of a person than a boy or girl who is able bodied.
So proud of you all!
