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!

Crazy Crew Caricatures!
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!
Doncaster Plant Works!
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.
Visitors from the Royal Ballet
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!
Community, Crafts, and Cake!
4TE finished off a fantastic first half-term with an action-packed fun-filled day! Firstly, the whole school had a brilliant opportunity to plant some trees alongside the school field. Crew Edwards and Crew West relished this unique experience and had a terrific time planting and naming their trees. In years to come as the children grow older and even when they leave NJS, they will be able to walk alongside the school and spot the very same trees that they planted today. After this, the children got to create some Halloween themed crafts. Spooky spiders and ghoulish ghosts were haunting the classroom this morning, it was a spooky time indeed! Finally, the children had been very busy at home and had baked an incredible amount of treats. There were cakes, biscuits, cookies, flapjacks, you name it, it was there! 4TE got to snack on their treats and we shared the goods with the rest of the school as well. It was a magnificent way to conclude a brilliant day and start to term. I’d like to finally thank everyone in 4TE for such a fantastic start to the year. I hope everyone has a great couple weeks and we shall see you soon!
