Fantastic Footballing Skills! ⚽️

5th October 2022Charlie Cicero

On Wednesday 5th October, NJS sent a team of Y3/4s and Y5/6s to our first Leger Sport Competition of the year. Both teams performed excellently on the day and enjoyed the opportunity to perform against other well-coached teams in the small-sided games. Shoutout to Liam in year six for his leadership skills in helping to organise and encourage his teammates in the Y5/6 team!

Well done to all involved and thank you to the Leger Sport Staff, Campsmount and the other schools in the local area for an excellent event. May it be the first of many!

Factors of numbers!

Above: Finding factors of numbers using arrays!

Nearing the conclusion of our topic on place value and number in maths, this week we have been using counters to help us find factors and multiples of numbers in maths. When feeling confident enough to move their learning to a pictorial and abstract representation, the class then set about exploring common factors and multiples in separate lessons before identifying highest common factors and the lowest common multiples. A fantastic week by these enthusiastic, curious set of young mathematicians! Onto the next… ➡️

War do you think of that then!

29th September 2022Thomas Edwards

Last week, there were some special visitors who had made their way all the way back from 1939 right to our school playground in 2022 to show the children some artefacts and items from World War Two! The children had a great time immersing themselves and finding out some fascinating information about the war from some brilliant experts! What war experts we are now!

Y3 Get Evacuated

29th September 2022Lauren Gate

Last week Y3 fully immersed themselves in our first case study by replicating in the life of a child during World War Two. We got dressed up in our best 1940s attire and walked down to Norton Community Hall where we ate jam sandwiches, drank ovaltine and played games.

To top off an amazing day as evacuees, we had some exciting visitors in school. We were joined by WW2 experts who brought wartime veihcles for us to have a look at and sit in.

Space Descriptive Writing

22nd September 2022Stephanie Oliver

This week, we have been working on including figurative language in our space descriptive writing to help create a clear image of the setting in the reader’s mind. The children have done a splendid job including similes, metaphors and personification in their written work. Some of the pupils then read their work aloud to the class.
