6J Computing – Spreadsheets

6J Dance in PE

Amazing effort from 6J today. We worked on recreating the infamous Haka routine before moving into groups and rehearsing our own as part of our PE Dance unit.

Sam’s Lego D-Day Creation

Well done to Sam H in Yr 6 for his amazing effort on recreating a scene from the D-Day battle out of lego! Sam spent hours perfecting this and I think he should be very proud of his efforts. This links in with our recent work in class on WW1, great effort, Sam!

Yr 6 Burton Borough Visit to NJS

This afternoon, members of staff from Burton Borough School have visited Yr 6 to do some work around secondary school transition. The children got to talk about their worries & concerns as well as things that they are excited and looking forward to.

Thank you to the BBS staff for helping to make our children feel comfortable with the idea of transition.

Each child will be coming home with a sheet that the BBS have asked them to complete. This sheets applies to all children, even those not attending BBS next year as it is designed to work on transition generally, not to any specific school. Please bring this back in and hand it to your class teacher,
