Evacuation!
This morning 3EG were evacuated (temporarily!) to the mission rooms in Norton. We listened to 1940s music, played musical statues and circle games. We also enjoed jam sandwiches and the classic Ovaltine!
Crew Team Building Olympics!
Last Wednesday, Years Five and Six took part in the ultimate challenge, testing both wits and might. All crews across the phase took part in eight mind-boggling challenges on the third day of Crew Week, demonstrating teamwork, critical thinking and communication skills. Well done to all!
And on the first day, Year 5 made papier mache planets!
To begin their ‘To Infinity and Beyond’ hook week, Year 5 started making the eight planets, the Moon and the Sun to create a classroom Milky Way solar system. In teams of three, the class used a mixture of PVA glue and water to layer old newspaper on top of different sized balloons representing a given planet.
More exciting planetary news to follow later in the week!
How can we get everyone to the top of the mountain?
Year 6 had an amazing crew week focused on the guiding question: How can we get everyone to the top of the mountain? Take a look at our fantastic artwork including all the qualities that the children think they will need to succeed in Year 6.
Brockadale Nature Reserve
On Thursday, 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!
Back with a bang
Last week saw 5HJ fully immersed in a whole host of crew building activities from problem solving to bubble art pictures. During our Crew Olympic Games, we saw fantastic team work, communication and most importantly smiles and laughter.
First Week Back!
What a great first week for 3EG at NJS! There have been plenty of smiles and lots of laughter! 3EG have taken part in a mini sports day, made kindness pebbles, and enjoyed lots of team games.
Trek through the wilderness!
Yesterday, Year 5 and 6 took part in a trek around Brockadale Nature Reserve. It wasn’t easy but the pupils showed resilience, perseverance, positivity and they supported each other which was lovely to see.
First week back focus, fun and frivolity!
It’s been quite the first week back so far and the children having been busy getting to know each other through engaging in a variety of activities and tasks. Here, we have problem solved, worked on teamwork and communication as well as exploring what Crew means to us.
