🌎 Why should we help our planet survive? – Hook Week

Thrown into the vast and dense Amazon Rainforest, 6CC have answered the call of planet Earth’s SOS to learn about the importance of this natural beauty and the to raise awareness of its vital role in regulating our world’s climate.

This week, years 5 & 6 have been introduced to several of the endangered species inhabiting ‘the lungs of the world’ and where they belong in this complex eco system. 6CC have produced wonderful piece of split artwork through teamwork and determination, as well as creating their own plea to stop deforestation via a group made news report. 📽️

Back to school with a bang!

What a great start to the new year we have had! It has been so lovely to welcome our children back into school and hear all your Christmas adventures.

Immersion week has seen some truly wonderful art projects happening for our exciting new expedition – What a Wonderful World!

We have got our hands well and truly sticky with papier-mâché as well as creating paper collages of our beautiful Earth! We can’t wait to show you the finished products!

Christmas Quiz Madness!

It was final week before Christmas and all were relaxed, quietly reading their reading book. Then, Mr Cicero thought it best to introduce his big Christmas Quiz…

The tranquility was shattered. Friendships fractured (momentarily). Christmas chaos had well and truly begun!

Safe to say, 6CC fully enjoyed the start to their week! 👏🏻👍🏼😂

A Crafty Christmas

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!

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! 🎄
