🍦☀️🕶A trip to the seaside 🕶☀️🍦
What an absolutely glorious day we had visiting Bridlington. We played in the sand, ate ice creams and had a sand castle building competition before enjoying a huge picnic. In the afternoon, we visited the John Bull rock factory and made a stick of peppermint rock. Such a wonderful way to end the school year! These kids are amazing!
Brilliant Bridlington!
What a wonderful day we had on our recent visit to Bridlington. Seeing the children play together on the beach and run around with smiles on their faces is perhaps my highlight of the year! Well done to all involved : )
Class 5EG has Talent!
This week 5EG organised and performed a talent show to coincide with their Celebration of Learning. They worked collaboratively to plan the event and everyone had a part to play. I didn’t realise how talented the class are!
3LG’s Bridlington Adventure
I think it is fair to say 3LG had quite the adventure on Friday.
We set off from school heading for Bridlington, only to get to Beverly and have to disembark the coach. We owe a massive thank you to Beverly High School for putting us up for an hour on their school field. The children of 3LG and 4GC were a credit to and great representives of NJS, showing beautiful manners and respect. Thankfully, after an hour having a play on Beverly High School field and eating ice creams we were back on the road and heading to the beach.
Once we arrived and lunches had been eaten, it was time for the real fun to begin. 3LG were in their element on the sand, from digging holes and building volcanoes to being buried in the sand everybody was having a fabulous time.
Then came the main reason for our visit, the John Bull factory. Rolling the rock was a highlight (as well as the biscuit and sweet tasting) and every child got their own stick of rock to roll and take home.
We are Chefs!
Today 5EG have concluded their DT Case Study by making a healthy three course meal. One group made carrot and coriander soup, another group made healthy wrap pizzas, and of course one group made dessert – a fruity flapjack. They did a great job working collaboratively together, and with minimal adult support – well done 5EG!
🏆🏀☀️ Sports Day ☀️🏀🏆
What an amazing morning we had completing our very first NJS sports day. I couldn’t be prouder of how all the year 3 children showed team spirt and sportsmanship whether they came first in their race or not! Super effort and determination on such a hot day! We are all waiting with baited breath to discover which class won!
Scorching Sports Day!
On Thursday, NJS welcomed back parents and carers to our annual summer sports day after two years of waiting! In the morning, years 3 & 4 enjoyed their time in the sun taking part in track and field events dotted around the field with plenty of spectator support! It is worthwhile noting our fantastic year 6s supported by leading the field events where they offered useful coaching tips and encouraged lower key stage 2 to try their best!
In the afternoon, years 5 & 6 took to the field – the last time year six’s took part in sports day with parents/carers present, they were in year 3! Most had their chance to run the track whilst our crews cheered them on from the sidelines. As always, a big thank you to our support staff, our supportive parents/carers and to Mr Chadwick for organising the event. May the hot weather continue! #SportsDay
Obi One-Love Coding!
6CC have begun their week with some Star Wars coding after an extremely hot weekend. All enjoyed taking control of BB-8 using code to dictate his movements and avoid the evil Sith hunters. More to follow on this coding adventure!
