The children have worked very hard on drawing Emperor Moths. When working on their drawing, they used shading skills, tone (both light and dark) as well as different stroke techniques to create the finished result. All children worked hard and showed a great amount of resilience and effort.
Years 5 and 6 have been busy creating the artwork for our calendar based on ‘Photographs that changed the world’ which is our current expedition. We are incredibly pleased to announce that £500 has been donated by several generous businesses to help fund our venture! In these difficult times, the staff and pupils are so grateful for the kindness that has been shown and we can’t wait to see the finished calendar including outstanding artwork and wonderful writing from the children. Here’s a sneak peek of some of the tremendous art work that the pupils have produced so far.
This week 3HJ have been looking at how compasses work and learning how to use them correctly.
We spent time orientating the compass to find the cardinal points. Finally, we planned a route using directions across the playground.
A tricky concept but we all did so well!
6SO have been working hard to produce some beautiful observational sketches of cameras over the past few weeks. Here are just a few of the amazing final sketches and we think you’ll agree, they are outstanding! These beautiful drawings will feature as part of a calendar that Year 5 and 6 are creating based on their current expedition ‘Photographs that changed the world’. The calendar will be professionally printed and available to buy at Christmas time so watch this space!
Don’t worry Mr Hayes, it’ll wipe off!

To launch our first term’s expedition all about mini beasts, we had a mini beast expert visit NJS. She bought in a variety of creepy crawlies from across the globe for the children to look at and handle. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience which was had by all!
At the beginning of our expedition, we had some ‘special guests’ visit NJS…

We are so lucky to have access to this amazing woodland area at NJS. We found so many different kinds of mini-beat which we identified.
