3LG’s Bridlington Adventure

13th July 2022Lauren Gate

I think it is fair to say 3LG had quite the adventure on Friday.

We set off from school heading for Bridlington, only to get to Beverly and have to disembark the coach. We owe a massive thank you to Beverly High School for putting us up for an hour on their school field. The children of 3LG and 4GC were a credit to and great representives of NJS, showing beautiful manners and respect. Thankfully, after an hour having a play on Beverly High School field and eating ice creams we were back on the road and heading to the beach.

Once we arrived and lunches had been eaten, it was time for the real fun to begin. 3LG were in their element on the sand, from digging holes and building volcanoes to being buried in the sand everybody was having a fabulous time.

Then came the main reason for our visit, the John Bull factory. Rolling the rock was a highlight (as well as the biscuit and sweet tasting) and every child got their own stick of rock to roll and take home.

Sports Day Extravaganza

3LG had a fabulous day last week at their very first NJS sports day. Every child tried their hardest, from sprints to egg and spoon races and wellie wang to kick ball, 3LG threw them selves into everything.

Each and every member of the crew displayed amazing sportsmanship, cheering on their friends and congratuating everybody after each event. Well done 3LG!

Sports day prep! 🏃‍♂️🎾🌤

Year 3 are taking their very first NJS sports day extremely seriously and what fun we’ve had practicing a range of track and field events this week from sprinting to hurdles and throwing. Some phenomenally talented children have come to light but what really stood out more, was the way the children supported and congratulated each other! We really can’t wait until we can compete in front of our family members!

🍭 Sweet Tasting 🍭

20th June 2022Helen Jenkins

Last week, 3HJ enjoyed spending the afternoon testing a range of different kind of sweets as part of our market research to decide which sweets were popular and which weren’t a hit. Haribo Tangfastics seems to get the seal of approval based on qualities such as appearance, taste and texture. Surprisingly, my favourite – jelly babies – came out quite low!

Product testing in 3LG

Yesterday we had a blast in 3LG as we spent the afternoon testing a range of different sweets. As we go into case study 3, where we will be making our very own sweets, it would have been rude to not do any product testing. We tried everything from flying saucers to strawberry laces and marshmallows to Haribos, discussing what we liked about their appearance taste and texture.

Pop art circulatory system!

13th June 2022Charlie Cicero

We always look to end our weeks with a bang and what better way to conclude our week than by combining to very interesting, unrelated concepts: the circulatory system and pop artwork!

In the morning, 6CC took part in an outdoor treasure hunt to scour the school grounds for their name, function and location in the body. The children enjoyed their search in the sun before returning to class to recap their understanding of the circulatory system and its main components.

With a more artistic focus, the children then explore the works of Andy Warhol and pop artwork. The bright, contrasting colours captivated many and all were inspired to choose their favourite piece of the circulatory system and to ‘pop artify’ it!

Circulatory system pop artwork will be on show here soon!

Happy Half Term

27th May 2022Lauren Gate

A big Year 3 thank you goes out today to the 5 members of Year 6 that have been our helpers this week. From being classroom TAs to playing dodgeball, we have absolutely loved having them in our classes. The children have loved having them in class and they were amazing models to the younger children.

Today they teamed up with a few year 3 children to create a fabulous pairing to celebrate the Platinum’ Jubilee
