What a great start to the new year we have had! It has been so lovely to welcome our children back into school and hear all your Christmas adventures.
Immersion week has seen some truly wonderful art projects happening for our exciting new expedition – What a Wonderful World!
We have got our hands well and truly sticky with papier-mâché as well as creating paper collages of our beautiful Earth! We can’t wait to show you the finished products!
It was such a treat to invite parents into school to take part in Our Christmas craft afternoon! We demonstrated patience and resilience whilst making Hama bead decorations and also ‘Elf-ed ourselves’. Thanks as always to our wonderful parents and carers for supporting your children.
As part of our Christmas Expedition slice, year 5 have stepped into the streets of Dickensian London where they have encountered the covetous, old sinner, Ebenezer Scrooge! After recreating the famous character description of A Christmas Carol’s frightful protagonist, the pupils have worked collaboratively to generate powerful vocabulary that will enable them to produce a contrasting description, following Scrooge’s transformation at the end of the novella. What better way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!
This week has been full of Christmas Crafts at NJS and there was no exception for 4TE! Fresh from the weekend on Monday morning, 4TE went straight into creating some amazing Christmas crafts. There were creative cards, delightful decorations and beautiful beads! Everyone had a great time and it was a super start to the week!
This term 3LG have been working with Doncaster Rovers during our PE lessons. The children have been playing lots of Christmas themed fitness games, even turning into naughty elves stealing presents from Santa.
This week, 4TE has been grappling with multiplication using grid method. Today we have been battling the same challenge as a crew, we are getting better!!
Yesterday, 3HJ saw the return of our very own pesky elf – Egbert! We noticed that he had climbed into our Christmas tree and hidden amongst the branches with a letter from Santa at the North Pole.
Crew Jenkins really got into the Christmas spirt decorating the Christmas tree and adding lots of tinsel to the classroom! I really hope our friend Egbert isn’t going to be too much trouble!
After a busy unit of work spent practicing the four mathematical operations, budding pupils got their chance to strut their understanding in teacher-student pairs. Many completed the series of progressively challenging arithmetic style questions to discover the secret code…
This week has been maths week across the nation and across the school, our wonderful crews have been preparing individual colour cube.
