Choir of Angels

On Saturday 19th November, the newly formed Newport Junior School Choir performed a selection of Christmas carols for the Aldershot Christmas light turn on event. The children sounded like angels and were very proud to represent their school.

Great Year 6 Bake Off!

What a fantastic day! Year 6 managed to raise over £180 from the bake sale. A big thank you to parents who helped children, either through baking, or buying cakes for our sale. Without you, we would not have been able to raise this amazing amount. It was a tough choice between the showstopper finalists but these children were chosen:

• Faith Hill and Chloe Blake in 6J
• Jonathan Coleville in 6P
• Brooke Hockerday in 6C

These cakes were on show in the hall so that the whole school could vote for the cake they liked the most. Overall, we ended up raising over £250 for the bake sale and the show stoppers. 

In the afternoon, we counted up the money from the show stoppers and announced the winner through a 'Great British Bake Off' come back where the teachers dressed up as Mary, Paul, Mel and Sue. 

Congratulations to Jonathan in 6P who was the overall winner!

Perfect Puppet Show

On Tuesday afternoon, Year 3 were treated to an amazing experience!! Tony the puppeteer visited our school and explained the history of puppets to us. He also demonstrated how different puppets work and performed a Punch and Judy show for us.

Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Year 3 invited parents and carers to a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.  Each child designed and made their own tea cup and hat using ideas from the Alice in Wonderland story.  Following recipes, each class made a range of delicious food which was shared by everyone.

year 3 Library Visit

During Poetry Week, Year 3 had the opportunity to visit Aldershot library.  The librarians were very helpful and explained how the library system worked.  Children were given library cards  and were able to choose a book to take home. The visit ended with the librarian reading a funny story about a boy who learnt to read books not to eat them.

What goes up!

On Friday afternoon, 6J had a go at putting lights onto their K'nex fairground rides using new software called 'Crumble boards'. The children followed the instructions carefully when attaching the wires from the batteries to the sparklers. They then used a similar programme to scratch to control their lights, deciding on the time they wanted between each colour change and the colours they wanted on their rides. Unfortunately, the technology was not working when the other year six classes had a go on Thursday but hopefully  you will get to see their scratch models during our exhibition at the end of this term.
