As part of our Friday crew session, 6CC took it upon themselves to creatively reimagine each other through the artistic scope of Caricature.
As you can imagine, the excessively large noses, bulging eyes and wacky jawlines resulted in quite a roar of laughter. Full of smiles and laughter, perfect way to begin the end of the week!
That’s right. NJS have been back only a few days after half term but were staright into the pyramid competitions by competing in a basketball festival. Even though the prepration had been minimal, the children who participated very much did some ‘on the job leanring’ and grew in confidence and stature as the competition wore on. Below are some pictures of the team bedecked in their classic NJS stadium tracktops – striking a casual group pose then conversely, and rather frantically, participating in a mass warm up. As always, our children represented the school by demonstarting all our core values and being the absolute best version of themseves: a real credit to NJS. Well done all!
On Monday, 6CC delved into the industrial history of “The Plant” aka Doncaster Plant Works. This organisation provided Victorian Doncaster with new employment opportunities as well as a name for producing some of the world’s most famous locomotives.
This afternoon, the children worked collaboratively to critique and correct their arithmetic strategies. Through listening and learning from each other, our crew are making tremendous progress in their number knowledge! Well done 5RS!
This week 5EG have been exploring making music! We have been practicing keeping the beat, passing the sound along and following a rhythm. Over the next few weeks we will be creating our own piece of music based on the sounds of the different trains we have been learning about.
Year 6 have started a new unit of work in PE tis half term: gymnastics! We began by looking at different kinds of balance. The pupils worked in pairs and offered critique to one another via our praise and wonder protocol to help each other to improve. It was great to see the children collaborating and supporting one another.
Year 3 were very excited to be joined by dancers from the Royal Ballet this morning as we continued with our Chance To Dance programme. The children danced in role – choosing to be either Odette or Rothbart, the main characters from Swan Lake. We learned all about different types of movement and jumps, dancing at different levels and using facial expression to convert feelings. It is wonderful to see how far the children have progressed since beginning this programme and we can’t wait to see what comes next.
This morning year 3 were lucky enough to be joined by representatives from the Chance to Dance programme. We got the opportunity to work with an artist from the Royal Ballet and a local dance teacher. The children learned all about different stage directions and the mappings of movement that come together to make ballet. The children worked in their groups to create “flocking” movements in the style of the characters from the Royal Ballet Swan Lake. In their groups the children put together a routine using these movements and performed these in front of the whole class!
