Crafting for Christmas
It was such a treat to invite parents into school to take part in Our Christmas craft afternoon! We demonstrated patience and resilience whilst making Hama bead decorations and also ‘Elf-ed ourselves’. Thanks as always to our wonderful parents and carers for supporting your children.
“God Bless Us, Every One!”
As part of our Christmas Expedition slice, year 5 have stepped into the streets of Dickensian London where they have encountered the covetous, old sinner, Ebenezer Scrooge! After recreating the famous character description of A Christmas Carol’s frightful protagonist, the pupils have worked collaboratively to generate powerful vocabulary that will enable them to produce a contrasting description, following Scrooge’s transformation at the end of the novella. What better way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!
Christmas Crafts!
This week has been full of Christmas Crafts at NJS and there was no exception for 4TE! Fresh from the weekend on Monday morning, 4TE went straight into creating some amazing Christmas crafts. There were creative cards, delightful decorations and beautiful beads! Everyone had a great time and it was a super start to the week!
Christmas fun and games with Doncaster Rovers
This term 3LG have been working with Doncaster Rovers during our PE lessons. The children have been playing lots of Christmas themed fitness games, even turning into naughty elves stealing presents from Santa.
Don’t be a Scrooge!
Year 6 have started their mini Christmas expedition and were given the guiding question, ‘How did the Victorians influence our Christmas traditions?’ We began by looking at A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and analysing the characters. The pupils took part in a silent conversation whereby they used descriptive vocabulary to describe some of the characters from the story. The vocabulary that they generated will support their character description writing.
Christmas Crafts at NJS!
What an absolutely amazing afternoon we had this week at NJS! Parental engagement has been a source of real frustration over the last 18 months and we haven’t always had the opportunity to work with our wonderful families. However, on the afternoon of Monday 6th December, we invited a family member of each year 4 child to engage in a Christmas crafts afternoon. Here, we created tree decorations using Hama beads as well as make Christmas cards for friends and family. Overall, is was a super afternoon and I thank all involved for making it work. Christmas is coming…
Stockings of success!
The class enjoyed sinking their teeth (or needles rather) into the task of making their own Christmas stockings from scratch. With resilience and the support of their parents, guardians and teachers, the class produced some fine, festive designs. Thank you to all the adults who came in to visit their children. We hope you have a very, merry Christmas! 🎄

Christmas Crafts
This afternoon 5EG enjoyed the beginning of our Christmas celebrations by welcoming parents into our school to create and decorate a Christmas gift box. With a little bit of imagination and inspiration, and of course some Christmas tunes, everyone created a beautiful gift box ready to be filled.
