3HJ have been immersed in everything Roman this week.
Here you can see the wonderful shields that have been designed. painted and decorated. We used our observation skills to make them as authentic as possible and are very proud of our results!

Movie Magic!
During their first day back, the Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in lots of exciting Harry Potter themed activities as part of our ‘The Magic of Motion’ exhibition. The children dressed up as witches and wizards and through the magic of technology, photo shopped themselves into various Harry Potter movie sets!
Jungle Fever!
All of our little monkeys have been going wild on our brand new Jungle Trail over the last couple of days. The newest addition to our outdoor provision has certainly been a hit with the children! Tarzan has got nothing on us!

Final Word Presentations
The Year 6 pupils have spent the last few weeks tirelessly working on their Final Word presentations and today have started to present them to family, staff and friends. We have been blown away by the quality of their reflections on their time at NJS and have loved hearing about their character growth over the last 4 years. A lot of the children have been extremely nervous about presenting in front of an audience but we couldn’t be more proud of their achievements. Well done Year 6!
Football’s Coming Home!
We know that some of you will be up late Sunday night watching the football match, and it’s going to be a late night. We want the children to enjoy the evening and rather than come in tired, or not at all we’re extending our opening times! This is for Monday only!
School will be open at normal time but you will have up to 10am to arrive, after this late marks will be applied.
It is 55 years since England reached a major football final so let them watch, talk about the importance of the National Anthem, talk about pride and resilience and possibly (but hopefully not) disappointment. This is a learning opportunity in itself.
Please stay safe, but most of all enjoy the event and have fun!
Come on England! #NortonInspired
Veni, Vedi, Vici
Alas, the crescendo of our expedition – a phase trip to Castleton to face, and subsequently scale, the dizzy heights of Mam Tor. Why? Well, this was the last of our 6 epic adventures into the outdoors: walking over hill and yonder to reconnect with nature and take in that northern fresh air – the best there is I’m told! On this particular adventure, we made our way – weary eyed amidst the dawn chorus – to the heart of Derbyshire to take on the challenge of this unique peak – affectionately known as ‘Mother Hill’. Of course, our tough Doncaster children just reveled in the challenge and I’m pleased to say that each and every one of them managed to reach the summit. There reward? Well a deep sense of achievement – but of course, that must always be complimented by ice -cream, Soleros and ice-pops. What a day!
Year 6 have 14 new maths teachers!
6CC enjoyed working in student-teacher pairings on Thursday, teaching each other bus stop division in a variety of contexts. By the end of the session, all pupils had developed their understanding of short division and some had even deciphered the secret message at the end of the treasure hunt: IT’S COMING HOME!
Local Litter Pickers!
In a recent Crew session, 6SO voiced their concerns about the amount of litter in the local area so they decided to do something about it! On Thursday, we went out armed with bin bags and litter pickers and did out bit for the community by collecting litter in nearby woodland. What a wonderful group of young people!
