Visit to Doncaster Museum!

22nd September 2021Gavin Chadwick

A truly fantastic time was had by all during our year group trip to the rather impressive and recently opened, Doncaster Museum. Here, the children participated in an array of activities such as workshops, scavenger hunts and expert talks about all things Roman. I must also add that the staff were very welcoming, our children represented their school and families with great maturity doing us all proud in the process. Indeed, I would recommend – in fact urge – any Doncaster patron or those living beyond our borders to experience this superb, free resource that is just on our doorstep. Lovely stuff.

➖Negative numbers!

22nd September 2021Charlie Cicero

After finishing their unit on place value and rounding, 6CC and 6SO explored negative numbers through the medium of a very frustrating ladder climbing game. The tension between the pairs was palpable as the luck of the dice mostly favoured one or none!

Expert Visitor!

21st September 2021Stephanie Oliver

Today, Year 5 and 6 had the pleasure of speaking with an expert visitor, Martin, who has worked on the railways for over 49 years driving trains. The pupils found out all about Martin’s long career, the trains he has driven and Doncaster’s significance in terms of the development of the railways. Thank you for speaking with us Martin!

The Magic of Harry Potter!

17th September 2021Emma Gould

What a magical day Year 5 had at the Harry Potter Studios! The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and were engaged, enthusiastic and mezmerised by the props and special effects. From evading giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest to walking the cobble stones of Diagon Alley, fun was had by everyone!

HARRY POTTER STUDIOS!

15th September 2021Stephanie Oliver

Wow what an amazing day Year 6 had at Harry Potter Studios. The pupils were enthusiastic, beautifully behaved and really did NJS proud. We saw a whole array of magical wonders from flying motorbikes and fire-breathing dragons to gigantic spiders and a goblin bank! It was a truly magical day!

A very Roman visit from Ronulus

15th September 2021Helen Jenkins

Rewind some 2000 years and 3HJ found themselves in Roman Britain! What a wonderful day we had learning all about the Roman way of life from a huge selection of artefacts including children’s toys, coins and jewellery. The children got so much from a hands on learning approach and we’re amazed to discover how Ronulus spent his time!
Check out the amazing costumes too!

Scientific Enquiry

15th September 2021Rachael Smith

There’s no better way to delve into a scientific investigation than by getting your hands dirty, which the children learnt this afternoon. The pupils completed small group work to explore the difference between reversible and irreversible reactions with some messy results!

Relentless fun with Roman Ron

10th September 2021Lauren Gate

Today Year 3 were transported back in time to Roman Britain. The children dressed up as Romans and even had a visit from Roman Ron. They spent the morning learning all about roman artefacts, from children’s toys and games to parts of a wall! This afternoon the children then took part in a “Roman Army Workshop”, where they learned to march and stand to attention like the Roman Army. We think y3 look amazing in the Roman armour, even if the helmets were a little big!

Representing Numbers

10th September 2021Helen Jenkins

3HJ have had their heads in the game this week and have made an awesome start to their maths work. The beautiful weather has enabled us to to take lots of our learning outside. Today Children challenged each other to represent a range of numbers in many different ways. Here we are using Base 10. Super learning on a super morning!
