BISTRO BUDDIES As part of our school improvement plan, we are on a mission to improve the lunchtime experience for all pupils here at AJS. As part of this mission, we have introduced a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils called the ‘Bistro Buddies’. Bistro Buddies have been fundamental in helping fellow pupils get to grips with our new lunch time wristband system, whereby any pupil entering the dinner hall for a school dinner wears a coloured wrist band to indicate their dinner menu choice for that day. Not only this, but the Buddies have relished the opportunity to assist younger pupils with their cutlery as well as their conversation – encouraging lunch time chat amongst peers is one of their key objectives. A huge thanks goes out to these pupils for taking on their new role with such enthusiasm. They are certainly doing a fine job so far! Bon Appetit!

Sports Ambassador Training

On Friday 4th October six sports ambassadors, Amelia M, Mila M, Caitlin D, Jonah E, Isaac M and Oliver W attended a training session hosted by New Road Primary School. The session started with an ice breaker task which involved the children finding out something about a partner from another school. The children then thought about what their role as a sports ambassador should look like and what jobs they might take on back at school. They also talked about taking on the role of playground leader and how it could be set up within their school setting. After a short break the children then took part in a practical session learning and teaching the rest of the group a playground game of their choice. The morning finished with the children eating their lunch together. The ideas they have come up with will now be developed in school.

Alderman Jacobs goes for gold!

Alderman Jacobs are very proud of our pupils Alyssa & Scarlett who recently won the prestigious Special Judges Award at the recent Pride in Fenland Award Ceremony.

On Wednesday 13th March 2024, some of the children in Years 4,5 & 6 visited London to watch Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre

On Tuesday 12th March 2024, the Year 2 children enjoyed a fun day out at Woburn Safari Park.

On Friday 8th of March Alderman Jacobs held their annual careers day. This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to hear about a range of aspirational careers throughout our community and in the wider world. 

On the 7th March we celebrated World Book Day. The children and staff all made a fantastic effort with their costumes and the children spent the day taking part in some fun book day activities. Each class also had a zoom session with author James Campbell, who shared his stories and poems with us. 

Alderman Jacobs received a donation of 'hi-vis' bag tags for Walk to School Month from Barretts' Homes.

Walk to School Month takes place during October each year and encourages pupils to celebrate the journey to school on foot.
