An action packed first week back!

In their first week back, the children of 6CC have truly impressed showing a bucketful of enthusiasm, teamwork and confidence; over the course of the week, they have taken part in a wide variety of activities, ranging from lung busting capture the flag to hilarious drama games. Despite the novelty of the activities, the children have out their best foot first and now cannot wait to begin their first expedition of the year… more on that later! 😉


A blinding week!

Punctuated by some challenging Crew building activities, working on both communication and trust. I’ve loved my first week at school. As usual the kids and staff have put in an amazing effort. Roll on next week (but enjoy the weekend first).

We are Crew!

This week 6EG have been focusing on team building activities and how important crew is to us. The class have really come together and enjoyed a range of activities and hopefully had fun!

The start of our NJS journey

In our first week at NJS, 3HJ have made ’Time Capsules’ reflecting on their summer break and setting goals for the new school year. Each time capsule contains photos, examples of some of the children’s favourite things, pledges for the forthcoming year and pieces of awesome art work. These time capsules will be sealed and ‘buried’ till July where we will be able to reflect on our journey through year 3!

Eden Camp excitement!

What an exciting start to NJS and Year Three these children have had. Today we undertook fieldwork for our autumn expedition – Lest We Forget at the amazing Eden Camp Museum. We were so excited to learn everything World War Two related from The Blitz, Women at Work and rationing. Our children were excellent ambassadors to our school and we all had a marvellous day!

Eden Camp Here We Come!

There was much excitment to be had today across both Year 3 and Year 4 as we ventured up to explore Eden Camp and all that it had to offer! The children were becoming immersed into the topic of the Second World War as we shall be exploring that further in this terms expedition. We shall see what else this expedition has to offer in the future and what else we can discover and explore!

Excitement at Eden Camp

Year Three have kicked off our autumn expedition, and their time at NJS, with a bang! We were so excited to learn all about what life was like during World War Two in all the different huts, experiencing everything from The Blitz and civilian life. The children were really enthusiastic and inquisitive and are very eagre to start our expedition “Lest We Forget”.

Trip to Eden Camp!

We’ve had a superb day undertaking some fieldwork at Eden Camp. The levels of curiosity and questioning by our pupils regarding the various experiences they had was excellent, as was their behaviour. And so our expedition begins!
