🎶🎵🎤 Young Voices 2022 🎶🎵🎤
What a fabulous time we all had at the long anticipated Young Voices concert in Sheffield Arena last week. Each and every child was an absolute credit to our school and all sang with such passion. The dances moves weren’t too bad either! 😎 Massive thanks to all the staff who accompanied us too!
Case Study 3 – Music
3HJ have thoroughly embraced our third and final case study. This week has seen us stacking ostinato, reading rhythms and playing them simultaneously using non-tuned percussion.
Who? With what? And where?
Maths lessons are far more enjoyable when they include a murder mystery! This week, y5 put their investigative skills to the test to solve the mystery of who murdered the young millionaire, Henry Baskerville, following a dinner party at Baskerville Hall. Our young detectives had to calculate the perimeter of all the rooms in the hall in order to generate an 8-digit code, which opened the padlocked journal of the murderer. Who needs Sherlock Holmes with y5 on the case!
World Book Day!
It was wonderful to spend this year’s World Book Day with both years 5 and 3 as they celebrated their favourite works of literature with some fantastic costumes and themed activities!
World Book Day
Y5 Celebration of Learning
This week, the children’s hard work during their first expedition, The Magic of Motion, was acknowledged by their celebration of learning presentation, which also gave the pupils the opportunity to unveil their final product: an information board that will be displayed at one of the local train stations. Throughout the event, all of the students in 5RS demonstrated impressive presentation skills. They were extremely mature and spoke knowledgably with great confidence, which was wonderful to observe!
Recorders at the ready!
Sadly, today was the last of our recorder lessons. 3HJ have thoroughly enjoyed learning how to follow standard notation, play in unison and maintain their own part in a group. We were very lucky to have this opportunity and can’t wait to keep practising the skills we have learnt.
Sharing into equal groups
This week in our maths lessons have moved on to explore division. We have been sharing into equal groups and looking at different ways to represent calculations using counters.
Our ‘Roar-some’ trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park
What a wonderful we had during our visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park! To immerse our children fully into our expedition ‘What a Wonderful World’, we visited many amazing breads of animals from all around the world! Particular favourites of 3HJ were the red pandas, sea lions and of course the polar bears. The absolute highlight however was the parading leopard who seem to enjoy his time with us and put on a great show. Lots of happy memories were made today and the children were a credit to NJS! 😊
