6J Computing – Spreadsheets

6J have been working on functions and formulas in computing this afternoon. They were tasked with calculating totals and averages from a series of data. All pairs were able to do this and find out the information they needed using the sum and average formulas. Amazing effort 6J!

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,

Yr 6 Light Session with BBS

This afternoon, Yr 6 had a visit from Ms Hughes, from the BBS Science department. Ms Hughes led a session on light with the children and made use of some exciting resources such as light boxes and prisms. This built on from the Light Dome Experience this morning and Ms Hughes was very impressed by the children’s existing knowledge about light!

What a brilliant day our children have had!
