Nearing the conclusion of our learning about perimeter, area and volume , 6CC began looking at the space occupied by three dimensional shapes today. By manipulating cubes, they investigated how to find the volume of cubes with varying height before exploring a variety of random 3D shapes and finding their volumes.
World book day. Bookshelves with hand drawn lettering.
We are going to be celebrating World Book Day in school (NIS and NJS) on Friday 3rd March 2023. Activities will be happening throughout the day in classes.
If children would like to dress up on this day – they are very welcome to do so. However, we would like to stress there is no obligation for anyone to go out and spend money on costumes. If children choose not to dress up they are welcome to come in their own clothes or pyjamas ready for a ‘bedtime’ story!
We are looking forward to celebrating all things book related together.
During yesterday’s crew session, year 3 had a lovely time eating delicious pancakes. It was a tough choice between Nutella, golden syrup, strawberry syrup or lemon with a sprinkle of sugar. Which topping is your favourite?
Happy pancake day from Y3! Yesterday for crew we had a lovely morning eating pancakes. With a choice of either nutella, golden sugar, strawberry syrup and the classic lemon and sugar we were spoilt for choice.
A big thank you to Mrs Jenkins who spent her Monday night making 70 crepes!!
Today 6EG enjoyed making, and eating, pancakes! The children cooked them and chose from a range of toppings to enjoy a sweet treat. Photos taken by our own class photographer, Shay!

This week has been Mental Health Week and here at NJS we have learnt about the importance of having good mental health and how we can help ourselves and others when we feel like we are struggling. Year 6 finished off the week in a lovely way and gave postcards including positive messages to our crew members to make them feel valued.
Today, Year 5 and 6 welcomed human rights barrister Peter Carter into school to speak to us about his amazing career and the history of civil rights – which linked to our expedition where we have been learning about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. The children created some excellent questions to ask Peter about the cases he has dealt with in his career and listened intently throughout his presentation.
