Today at Forest School we made orange cake; baked in a dutch oven over an open fire. We scooped out oranges and placed cake mixture in the centre. We rounded off our culinary session, sampling obligatory S’mores…delicious! #NMJSForestSchool #LearningOutdoors #HealthAndWellbeing

[NewMillForestSchool @NewMillForest]

It was an incredibly busy day with the Little Legends Forest School Holiday Club today: climbing on the slackline; building awesome dens, making carrot whistles & toasting marshmallows on the campfire to make delicious S’mores. Thankyou to everyone for a fun day! #OutsideAllDay

Amazing work from our year 10 students! Thanks for having us @NewMillJrSchool 🧪 🧬

[NewMillForestSchool @NewMillForest]

What an exhausting afternoon in Forest School. We practiced so many outdoor skills: whittling, fire-lighting, tree climbing and hanging around in branches! #NMJSForestSchool #NMJSHealthAndWellbeing #NMJSNurture #LearningOutdoors

We are delighted to receive Year 10 pupils from Holmfirth High School who are demonstrating a variety of science projects to our Year 5 & Year 6 pupils.
A big thank you to both staff & pupils from @holmfirthhigh for organising such an exciting science fair. #NMJSScience #Science

A big thank you to Dr Hazel Girvan, Senior Lecturer in cell Biology/Biochemistry from the Department of Biological & Geographical Sciences @HuddersfieldUni. Year 6 pupils have now learned how to extract DNA from a strawberry. #NMJSSCIENCE #CoolScience #Stem

We have taken moulds of tyre tracks and have learned how to lift fingerprints from a crime scene. We are close to solving the mystery of the missing laptop and attendance trophy. #NMJSScience @ThinkForensic

[NewMill Junior School @NewMillJrSchool]

To help preserve the evidence, we have donned our Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and are ready to investigate the crime scene. #NMJSScience @ThinkForensic

[NewMill Junior School @NewMillJrSchool]

Unfortunately, some nefarious activities have occurred in the Year 6 classrooms. We have preserved and cordoned off the crime scene. Fortunately, we have @ThinkForensic to help us solve the mystery. #WhoDunnit #NMJSScience
