A Crafty Christmas

10th December 2021Lauren Gate

Yesterday 3LG had their Christmas Crafts Morning. We had so much fun making Christmas Hama beads, turning ourselves into Christmas elves and designing Christmas cards. We spread Christmas cheer (and lots of glitter) all around. A great morning all around and the children made some great crafts. We all had a blast and were so thrilled to be joined by so many parents and carers.

Crafting for Christmas

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.

“God Bless Us, Every One!”

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!

Christmas Crafts!

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!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

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!

Why should Doncaster remember the Romans?

12th November 2021Helen Jenkins

Yesterday, our Year 3 children embarked on a trip around Doncaster town centre, looking for clues to help answer our guiding question of “Why should Doncaster remember the Romans?” We had a thoroughly exciting day, which kicked off by catching the local bus into the town centre, finding the “Frenchgate’ and Baxtergate” as well as exploring the site of the Roman Fort in the grounds of Doncaster Minister. All our children were a credit to Norton Junior School and many members of the public commented on how sensibly they behaved on their journey into town and back. Absolute superstars!!
