Crew Jackson – Reading letters we wrote to our future self

27th June 2024Jillian Jackson

At the start of year , everyone in Crew Jackson wrote letters to themselves about what they wanted to achieve by the end of Year 6. The children all thought really carefully about their own personal goals and aspirations – considered their HOWLs, character growth, crew, SATs, academic success and beautiful work. After they finished, they were sealed in envelopes addressed to themselves and put away to save for the end of the year.

This morning, they got to open their letters, read them again, see the progress they had made and find out how successful they had been at achieving their goals.

It was lovely to watch their faces and hear them talk about their achievements. You have an amazing year and I am so proud of everyone. Well done on all your successes this year! x

Class 8 handwashing experiment

26th June 2024Aime Shaw

In our morning crew sessions we have been learning about different ways to look after ourselves.

Today was all about the importance of handwashing. We watched a video about how easily germs spread. The children then took part in an experiment with glitter that showed how easily germs spread around.

The children then tested their handwashing techniques to see which method was the best and we decided that washing our hands in warm water with soap for 20-30 seconds got rid of the most germs.

Great work year 2!

Class 10 community delivery!

26th June 2024Simon Gerrard

This morning, Class 10 visited the pentecostal church in our local community. As part of our final product, we wanted to celebrate those who help our community. We knew we had to thank our local charities!

The children made brownies specially for the workers and produced their own Mayan inspired boxes to deliver the chocolatey goods in! It was a huge success! Class 10 were really proud of their beautiful work, appreciated helping in the shop and are even asking to go again ASAP!

I would like to thank the charity group for being so welcoming and brilliant with the children as well – it was really a lovely morning had by all and I suspect it won’t be the last!

Crew Spetch – WOW What a day!!

26th June 2024Sophie Myers

What a fabulous and busy day we had yesterday – I’m amazed we fit it all into one school day!

To begin with, we worked with Geoff from XP to film our final product. Everyone came to life on the camera, I can’t wait to see how fab the videos look!

Then, as part of our Fitness video, we had a Zumba class with Mrs Rayner, which everyone got really stuck into and enjoyed. After that, the children got changed into their Egyptian costumes and we finished our video with us dancing like Egyptians!

We even managed to link our science learning of the heart and dissect some pigs hearts! I was absolutely blown away by everyones courage handling the hearts but also hearing the use of correct terminology that we had learnt. The children were even able to identify the different components of the heart and discuss what the role of the part is. AMAZING!

What a fantastic day filled with lots of amazing learning opportunities!

Super proud!
