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.
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! 🎄

Year 5 Visit to Danum Museum
This week, as part of their The Magic of Motion expedition, year 5 and 6 visited the Rail Heritage Centre at Danum Museum, which is home to two impressive locomotives (No. 251 and Green Arrow) and a large selection of railway memorabilia from the Doncaster Grammar School rail collection. The children were also treated to a fantastic workshop that explored how trains have been on a journey of change over the years. This supplemented their classroom learning brilliantly and provided an exciting, hands-on experience for all of our pupils.
Magnificent Multiplication!
This week, 4TE has been grappling with multiplication using grid method. Today we have been battling the same challenge as a crew, we are getting better!!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Yesterday, 3HJ saw the return of our very own pesky elf – Egbert! We noticed that he had climbed into our Christmas tree and hidden amongst the branches with a letter from Santa at the North Pole.
Crew Jenkins really got into the Christmas spirt decorating the Christmas tree and adding lots of tinsel to the classroom! I really hope our friend Egbert isn’t going to be too much trouble!
Need for steam (and speed)!
Year 6 enjoyed a thrilling trip to the recently opened Danum museum in Doncaster City Centre on Wednesday. Learning about Doncaster’s deep rail heritage that began with George Edmundson; the classes learned about the mechanic of steam locomotives as well as the business brought to Doncaster that developed it into one of the UK’s industrial heavy weights.
Definitely worth a family visit!
