To celebrate the end of our first case study of our Lest We Forget expedition, year 3 have used their knowledge and understanding of rationing as well as measures to bake bread from a traditional WW2 recipe. Obviously, the best part was getting stuck in with kneading and I have to say the bread was absolutely delicious and went down a treat!
4TE flexed their Maths brains today with some excellant collaborative demonstrations of their recent learning. They were actively venturing from question to question with their partners showing how far they have come in such a short space of time. Good jobs guys, keep going!
When learning how to round numbers this week, the maths lesson design weaved together a perfect storm of active maths, collaborative learning and use of technology. Needless to say, the children’s progress within the lesson and outcomes were execellent. Keep it up 4GC!
6EG have been busy planning, drafting and editing amazing stories about Space! They have worked independently and collaboratively with peers to be able to produce work to the best of their ability.
This week 3LG have been learning all about rationing and wartime food. To finish up our learning we made traditional WW2 bread, using only what people would have avaiable at the time.
We have spent the morning following a recipe, measuring igredients, mixing and kneeding dough.
We can definitely think of worse ways to spend a Friday than making the “best bread ever”

On Wednesday 5th October, NJS sent a team of Y3/4s and Y5/6s to our first Leger Sport Competition of the year. Both teams performed excellently on the day and enjoyed the opportunity to perform against other well-coached teams in the small-sided games. Shoutout to Liam in year six for his leadership skills in helping to organise and encourage his teammates in the Y5/6 team!
Well done to all involved and thank you to the Leger Sport Staff, Campsmount and the other schools in the local area for an excellent event. May it be the first of many!

Nearing the conclusion of our topic on place value and number in maths, this week we have been using counters to help us find factors and multiples of numbers in maths. When feeling confident enough to move their learning to a pictorial and abstract representation, the class then set about exploring common factors and multiples in separate lessons before identifying highest common factors and the lowest common multiples. A fantastic week by these enthusiastic, curious set of young mathematicians! Onto the next… ➡️
