6CC have been thrown into the shoes of historians this week, delving into the history and development of locomotives. Their research has spanned from the Victorian era all the way to present day with their intention being to produce a fact file, either on Google Docs or Slides, to educate the rest of the school and wider community about our expedition. Stay tuned for more info on their creations!

📍 With Neville (me) ruining the felix felicis potion, it was 6CC’s task to filter the potion back to its original state. Through many stages of experimental filtering and sieving, all groups were able to systematically filtering out gradually smaller solids from the potion until they were left with the clearest liquid they could create. Yet again, each team demonstrated excellent problem-solving, collaborative and communication skills. Awesome effort, Crew Cicero! ✅

➖Negative numbers!
After finishing their unit on place value and rounding, 6CC and 6SO explored negative numbers through the medium of a very frustrating ladder climbing game. The tension between the pairs was palpable as the luck of the dice mostly favoured one or none!

Expert Visitor!
HARRY POTTER STUDIOS!
Wow what an amazing day Year 6 had at Harry Potter Studios. The pupils were enthusiastic, beautifully behaved and really did NJS proud. We saw a whole array of magical wonders from flying motorbikes and fire-breathing dragons to gigantic spiders and a goblin bank! It was a truly magical day!
Wicked Wizards
Look at our young Hogwarts students duelling with their homemade wands! The pupils had to decide which ingredients to include inside their wands that reflected their personal qualities. These ranged from unicorn hair to represent honesty to lion claws for courage! The finished wands look fantastic….EXPELLIARMUS!
Maths in the great outdoors!
The recent heatwave has made classroom learning a little… toasty, and so on Wednesday, 6CC and 6SO opted for an outdoor Maths treasure hunt aiming to boost their place value problem-solving skills!
Looking to build a winning team spirit, they have also enjoyed rounders in the sun on Wednesday afternoon and taken part in some team building activities during morning crew each day. Onwards and upwards for 6CC (no brooms needed)!
I solemnly swear we have been up to no good…
If you’d have examined 6CC’s activity on the Marauder’s map, you’d have noticed how busy their week has been, from participating in their very own Hogwarts’ sorting ceremony to making their own magical wands!
During their first week back, the class also took part in a range of enchanting activities such as quidditch, defence against the dark arts and potion making. As their professor this year, it has been lovely to see the teamwork and determination shown by each member of the class in every activity, however Gryffindor are the leading the house points charts after the first week. Let’s hope the other houses catch up in due course!

Movie Magic!
During their first day back, the Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in lots of exciting Harry Potter themed activities as part of our ‘The Magic of Motion’ exhibition. The children dressed up as witches and wizards and through the magic of technology, photo shopped themselves into various Harry Potter movie sets!
