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!
Following a day of preparation in the kitchen, 6CC have designed and produced an array of astonishing gingerbread creations as one of their Christmas week activities.
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! 👏🏻👍🏼😂
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.
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!
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!
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.
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! 🎄
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.
