5N Guided Reading

This morning, the children planned an informative presentation to persuade people to visit the Great Barrier Reef. They presented these to the whole class at the end of the day. Some fantastic art, computing and writing skills were displayed by the children, who thoroughly enjoyed the project!

5M Messy Maths Day

5M spent the day writing on their desks and then the playground! Identifying and measuring angles as part of their Messy Maths Day – all the children thoroughly enjoyed it!

5OP – Beech’s Base! 05.06.23

Good afternoon everyone from 5OP!

We hope that you have all had a wonderful half term!

Just a quick reminder about Beech’s Base tomorrow afternoon. You will need to bring your Beech’s base kit as normal – be mindful of the weather and old clothes will be better (incase you get muddy).

See you all tomorrow,

Mrs Ollerenshaw x

Yr 5 Messy Maths

As Monday 5th is Messy Maths day at NJS we thought we we would share what the children will be doing in Maths today.

Please don’t worry – we wont be getting “messy!”

We have set up the classrooms so the children have a messy desk – covered in tape.

The children have been challenged to identify, predict and measure each of the angles.

We have also draw some chalk angles onto the playground for the children to complete the same.

Team Yr 5

Shropshire Cricket Fun

For the next few weeks, we are lucky enough to have Ryan Lockley into school with us, one of the Shropshire Cricket coaches. Ryan will be working with Y3 and Y5 children, helping them improve their cricket skills. Mr Moody, Mr Leonard and I might even learn some new skills hopefully.

Year 5 Mosque Trip!

What a brilliant and informative trip year 5 children have had visiting a local mosque. The children’s behaviour was impeccable and they should be extremely proud of themselves. They asked very inquisitive and appropriate questions and drew lots of similarities and differences between Islam and many religions such as Christianity.

This trip will certainly help build our learning as we continue Islam for the rest of the summer term.

Mosque trip 16.05.23! Reminders for children…

The children will be attending Wellington Islamic Mosque. This trip has been set up through our link with Hollinswood Multicultural Service and has been planned to follow up on the Year 5 Beliefs and Values topic of Islam. Children will be attending during the afternoon and therefore, will have lunch as normal at NJS.

During the visit the children will have an opportunity to explore the Mosque, making comparisons between the building and a Christian church, ask questions to the Imam and also be able to make links between the classroom based learning they have done and what this looks like in reality.

For the upcoming visit to the mosque, the children will be required to come to school prepared with the following:

  1. School uniform is appropriate for visiting the mosque however as much skin as possible needs to be covered. For example: tights to be worn, leggings, jumpers/cardigans (down to wrists).
  2. The girls are required to wear a headscarf to cover their hair. Boys are required to bring a hat or cap to cover their hair also.
