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.
On Monday, 6CC delved into the industrial history of “The Plant” aka Doncaster Plant Works. This organisation provided Victorian Doncaster with new employment opportunities as well as a name for producing some of the world’s most famous locomotives.
This afternoon, the children worked collaboratively to critique and correct their arithmetic strategies. Through listening and learning from each other, our crew are making tremendous progress in their number knowledge! Well done 5RS!
This morning year 3 were lucky enough to be joined by representatives from the Chance to Dance programme. We got the opportunity to work with an artist from the Royal Ballet and a local dance teacher. The children learned all about different stage directions and the mappings of movement that come together to make ballet. The children worked in their groups to create “flocking” movements in the style of the characters from the Royal Ballet Swan Lake. In their groups the children put together a routine using these movements and performed these in front of the whole class!
