Year 5/6 Football

NJS’ first tournament of the year and on this occasion, the year 5/6 boys headed to Campsmount to take part in the Leger Sport football competition. With many schools now part of the Leger model, the team faced stiff competition but played well as a collective and enjoyed the chance to compete against other schools. Also, a shout-out to Mr Hayward and Mrs Gill for accompanying the team. Well done all!

Human Settlements

This week, 5HJ have been learning about human settlements. The children were given a range of different physical features and human features such as mountains, rivers, town and created their own settlement. Each group was able to explain why the key features were placed in their location, justifying their reasoning.

Rainforest Survival Guides

This week, we have been busy working on our rainforest survival guides. We drafted our different sections, critiqued our work and our friends, and used our rubric to assess our writing before finally typing them up on Google Docs. You can see a few examples of the different sections on this week’s beautiful work slides!

Maths in 5JC

Some of the students were exploring powers of 10 in maths this week and had to follow the loop around the quad area!

🍰🤍🧁 Act of kindness 🧁🤍🍰

During crew week, our guiding question was – How can crew be strengthened by acts of service to others? After holding crew sessions, Yr5 decided to litter pick whilst on our walk to Brockadale, visit The Laurels residential home to take gifts and spend time with residents as well as hold a bake sale to raise money for charity.

We are we’re blown away with the amount of donations received across Norton Campus and are excited to share that we raised a whopping £142.70. As a crew, we will decide where this money goes.

We Are Crew 😊

What a first week we have had! 5HJ have visited the infants and shared stories with Yr 2 children, baked mountains of buns for our bake sale, taken part in various team building games including getting extremely soaked and built bridges out of art straws. It’s definitely been a busy week!

Brockadale Nature Reserve

On Tuesday, Yr 5 & 6 were given the challenge to complete a 12 km walk to Brockadale Nature Reserve and back. 5HJ supported each other along way and showed huge levels of determination and stamina. The sun was shining and we all had a fabulous time. I can’t wait for the fantastic year ahead! 😊
