NJS Walk To School Week

23rd May 2023Lauren Gate

This week NJS have been taking part in the Walk With Wildlife Five Day Walking Challenge.

As part of this, we have been using our crew time to discuss how we get to school in a morning, whether this be walking, driving or cycling. This has tied in nicely with our Wise Wednesday crew sessions over the half term, in which we have been debating the benefits of exercise and getting active outside.

We have even taken our walking challenge one step further, walking a mile around our school filed every morning during our crew sessions. We have been clocking up the steps, averaging around 1800 steps!

Tag Rugby Tournament!

21st April 2023Charlie Cicero

This week, two teams made their way to Campsmount Academy to take part in a tag rugby tournament for year 3/4 and 5/6. Both teams played well, showing speed, agility and plenty of teamwork. 

Notable mentions to Charlie in year 4 and Reggie in year 6 for their impressive performances and leadership during the tournament.  

Marvellous Magna

21st April 2023Lauren Gate

Yesterday year 3 and 4 went on an amazing trip to Magna. We explored all four pavilions – earth, wind, fire and water. We saw lots of exciting exhibits such as both a wind and fire tornado.

To top off all the excitement we had a workshop all about volcanoes. We tested the properties of rocks, looking at which were magnetic and which could float. We then used vinegar and baking soda to make our own erupting volcano.

The children were a credit to the school, with exemplary behaviour and beautiful manners.

Magna Science Adventure Centre

Yesterday, LKS2 embarked on an exciting field trip to Magna Science Adventure Centre where we had an amazing experience for our pupils building background knowledge for our new expedition – Earth Shattering Events. During the day we explored the elements of earth, wind, fire and water with a highlight of watching the fire tornado. All children were an asset to our school and behaved perfectly.🔥🌎💦💨

🩰💫 Chance to Dance 💫🩰

21st April 2023Helen Jenkins

During the Easter holidays, year 3 children were given the opportunity to take part in a 3 day intensive ballet workshop at XP school. During this time, children took part in choreographing a dance which was performed with 4 other schools for parents. The children represented our school beautifully and both myself and Miss Gate were given lovely feedback! What an achievement!
