    U11 Girls ESFA Pokemon Cup Football Qualifier On Friday 13th January AJS took a team of year 5/6 girls to the U11 Girls ESFA Pokemon Cup Football Qualifier at Witchford Village College. The tournament was played on a round robin basis. The girls worked extremely well together passing the ball, creating space and scoring goals. They had a mixture of results winning and drawing most of their games. I was very impressed with the children’s excellent sportsmanship and teamwork. Well done to all the players that took part, you were a pleasure to take and excellent ambassadors for AJS.

  • Year 3 - Investigating rocks

    Published 03/10/22

     

    Year 3 have been scientists this term, investigating rocks. Our big question for the topic was ‘Do rocks last forever?’  To help with answering the question we walked to the cemetery to see how some sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks have weathered over time. We decided that rocks do not last forever but show signs of weathering. Some rocks, like granite, weather more slowly than others, like limestone. The children showed a great understanding of rocks and used their scientific thinking to deepen their understanding.

  • Sports Ambassador Training

    Published 30/09/22

    On Friday 30th September Alderman Jacobs School hosted the Sports Ambassador training session. There were six Sports Ambassadors from AJS, four from New Road and four from Park Lane.
    The session started with introductions and 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 ideas they have come up with will now be developed back at school. 

    The children also had the opportunity to talk about the morning on the Fenland Youth radio which will be aired in two weeks time.

    The morning ended with the children having lunch together.
