It’s a hat trick!
It’s been a very thought full Thursday today - The St Jude’s leadership team spent time with individual teachers discussing the progress of the year groups and distributing our new tracking documents for writing. Year 3 marvelled at the magnificent Mary Rose and learnt about what life would have been like on board Henry V111’s warship and some year 6 pupils shared their ideas about starting a newspaper!

Pupil Progress
Today we met staff from year 1 and 4 and started looking at the progress children had made over the school year so far. It was a great opportunity for staff to talk about ideas for the rest of term to ensure progress continues to be a priority - while planning new opportunities for next year - we look forward to carrying these discussions on tomorrow with Year 3 and 5 and catching up with Years 2 and 6 next week. We were also able to share our new termly tracking system for writing which will show individual target areas and how successfully a child has met and objective - we look forward to sharing this with our stakeholders very soon.

Mary Rose
As part of their learning this term, Pipits and Swifts spent the day in Old Portsmouth visiting the Mary Rose Museum and finding out about the sinking of the great ship in 1545. IF you would like to find out more, why not visit the site http://www.maryrose.org/discover-our-collection.

Newsflash
Perhaps we have some budding journalists in our midst.

This afternoon a group of year 6 girls started planning, researching and trialling their interviewing technique as they began to put together a Year 6 newspaper.  With a pot full of ideas stewing nicely, I look forward to helping put together the final piece - under their watchful eyes of course! 
Hoping everybody has an enjoyable, sunshine filled Thursday evening!
