This afternoon, ten girls from upper school represented NJS in a netball tournament at the Laurel Academy. Across six fixtures against other schools in the Doncaster area, the girls performed well winning two games but not securing enough points to progress to the final.
For the majority of the team, it was a competitive debut in a netball team but there was great experience to hand with the likes of Olivia, Peggy, Dolly and Autumn. Standout performers include Lottie, who performed well in the final third of the court, and Katie who was fierce in the centre role, playmaking and interception passes. For both girls, it was their first time playing netball. Well done to all the girls for all their effort this afternoon, it was a pleasure to see!

A huge thank you to all the parents, students, and everyone involved for making this happen. Your hard work and generosity are helping provide food for families in need within our community.
The snow brought pure joy to the playground yesterday. Laughter filled the air as the children played in the fresh snow, making the most of every frosty moment.
It was the perfect day for outdoor fun and a reminder of how exciting nature can be! Letās hope thereās more snow to come!
5HJ have been diving into the method of column multiplication and it’s been fantastic to see their progress! With a bit of practice and plenty of focus, they’ve been mastering how to multiply larger numbers step by step. The children have really embraced the challenge showing a lot of determination and teamwork as they solve problems. Not only are they sharpening their multiplication skills but they’re also building confidence. It’s exciting to watch them grow in their understanding and enjoy the process of problem-solving!
5HJ have been busy using their sewing skills to create soft toys inspired by the rainforest. They’ve been carefully stitching colourful animals and itās been wonderful to see their creativity come to life. I canāt wait to see the final outcomes!
This week, Year 6 have taken part in lots of fun maths week challenges! Teamwork and collaboration was in full swing with pupils working together to solve a variety of challenging maths problems. All the children showed resilience and determination when solving problems!

This week, 5CC put their creative minds to the test and began crafting their rainforest animal soft toys. This follows a sequence of lessons where the children have conducted market research on existing soft toys before redrafting designs of their own soft toy. Using a variety of stitches to attach details and sew their fabric together, it is brilliant to see their designs come to life!
On Thursday 27th November, Year 5 will be unveiling their soft toys and rainforest stories to the Year 2 children of Norton Infant School. Both projects will hopefully spread the message of looking after our environment, including its plants and animals.
