6CC have been busy this week delving deep into the mysteries of the Amazon rainforest. After some paired research, the children have produced their own rainforest flap books, illustrating and explaining the differences between the four layers of this diverse environment. Year 6 have been keen to extend their writing using causal conjunctions to explain facts further. Some of our class crew also demonstrated their artistic skills creating their own pictures for each layer. Top work, crew! 👍🏼😁
In our continued quest to commit acts of kindness, 4GC are ready to distribute over 240 bookmarks made from repurposed materials to each and every pupil of NJS. A nod to Mrs Flint and Miss Wilkinson in this regard as they have laid the final touches to said items, largely, and unsurprisingly, in their own time. Alas!!
Today 5JC spent some time on Sumdog consolidating our learning around Place Value. They’ve still got plenty more questions to work through in their free time!
Year 6 have been learning all the about the layers of the rainforest and the features of each layer including the conditions and the animals that live there. We then brought our learning together in the form of a flap book!
This morning, 6CC’s pencils were ablaze as they scorched their books with their hard work and resilience. Looking at column addition, the children have begun effectively and efficiently find the total larger numbers and demonstrate their reasoning through identifying misconceptions of people in the problem-solving and showing their thinking through pictorial representations. Top effort, guys! 😊👍
This week Yr 5 we’re practising dribbling skills in PE. The children used different parts of their foot to control the ball and enjoyed playing a range of games to develop these skills.
Children in 6EG have worked collaboratively to create an awesome piece of art work of an animal from the Amazonian rainforest. They had to work carefully and precisily together to ensure the sections of the image matched which took concentration and teamwork!

During the first few weeks of term, Y4 have been working feverishly to restore the Nursery garden to its former glory and this week we sowed some wild seed that will hopefully bloom in the coming months. The activity required the children to work together in stages to go from a weed ridden area to something that we can be proud of.
Didn’t they do well!
During hook week, 6SO created some amazing Amazon habitats complete with model animals! They researched the kind of habitat that their creatures would live in and recreated this using paint, card, tissue paper and more! We then did a gallery walk and praised all the hard work and effort that the pupils put in to their mini habitats. Great work 6SO!
