The first sporting fixtures of the academic year saw two NJS teams travel to Owston Park Primary for thrilling football tournaments over the last two weeks.
First up, on Thursday 2nd October, our Year 5/6 team competed in the Legacy Sport Yorkshire tournament. After progressing from their group, they secured a dramatic quarter-final victory against Balby on penalties. A hard-fought semi-final draw against eventual runners-up, Kirk Sandal, led to another tense shootout where NJS were narrowly defeated. However, the team clinched a brilliant third place, with defender Toby D sealing the win in the bronze final with a fantastic ‘top bins’ penalty.
The following week, on Thursday 9th October, it was the Year 3/4 team’s turn. They successfully navigated the group stage, which included a tense draw against fellow trust school, Plover Primary. After winning their quarter-final, they faced a strong Richmond Hill side in the semis, whose powerful forward play proved decisive.
Both teams represented the school with skill, determination, and excellent sportsmanship. A huge well done to all our players for such a fantastic start to the sporting calendar!
Year 6 have been exploring the sounds of the rainforest in our music lesson this week. We listened to a rainforest soundtrack and identified the sounds we could hear. In groups, we then made a sound map and used body percussion, voices and percussion instruments to create a rainforest soundscape.

5HJ have become mini rainforest survival experts, writing guides full of clever tips for finding food, collecting clean water, and building safe shelters. It’s inspiring to see their survival strategies and beautiful illustrations come to life on the page!
This week, Year 5 have been putting their creativity and research skills to the test by planning and writing their very own Amazon Rainforest Survival Guides.
From deadly predators to poisonous fruits, the children explored the challenges of surviving in one of the world’s most extreme environments. They thought carefully about the skills, equipment and knowledge needed to stay safe, and presented their ideas through engaging writing filled with detail and imagination.
