Beautiful Work This Week
Ready, Steady, Grow!
In the spring of 2023, the KS1 pupils from primary schools across the XP Trust undertook a cross-curricular learning Expedition called ‘Ready Steady Grow’, where they looked to answer the guiding question…
‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’
The Expedition culminated in this beautiful collaborative book – filled with recipes, healthy eating advice and the story behind the students’ learning!
‘What will I do to be a champion in my community?’ Pledges at Norton Infants!

Fun in the sun! 🌤️🕶️
What an absolutely beautiful few days we have had at school this week. Year 3 made the most of the sunshine by taking part in a maths and SPaG treasure hunt in the quad this morning in preparation for test week next week! 😀
Preparing for Sports Day 🏃♀️🎽👟
This week, year 3 have begun their preparations for our upcoming sports day in July. Sprints, hurdles, relay and egg and spoon races to name but a few. Not only did all children give it their all in the warm condition but the amount of sportsmanship show was phenomenal! Bring on the competition Miss Gate! 😀

3LG Are Rock Detectives
This morning, 3LG have been investigating the different properties of rocks.
We started our investigations by scratching different types of rocks with our fingernails, a coin and a paperclip to test the hardness. We then tried dropping water onto the rocks to test whether they were permeable or impermeable. We finished by dropping vinegar on the rocks to see if they fizzed, showing us whether or not they contained calcium. These tests allowed us to decide whether the rocks were sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to buy or make donations for the Year 6 bake sale! The cakes and biscuits were incredible and thoroughly enjoyed by children and staff! A full total of money raised will be available soon after we have counted it all. Once again a huge thank you!
We’re stoked! 🔥
After months of discussion and deliberation, NJS is pleased to announce the creation of its brand new fire-pit! Thanks to the diligence and hard work of our own Mrs Blunt, Norton Junior’s fire pit is complete with log stools and a fire ring, ready for exciting crew and activity sessions to come. We can already taste the smores!
4GC loves reading (and Mrs Blunt).
We retuned to school to be greeted by an amazing seated area and fire pit lovingly constructed by the selfless Mrs Blunt (during half term). Basking in the sunshine, we engaged in a spot of reading this morning and didn’t we just love it! Welcome back everyone and many thanks again to our awesome Mrs Blunt.
