Book Week 2025

Parents / carers,

Today we shared the NSPCC materials and advice called PANTS.

It is something we choose to do annually at NJS.

The PANTS materials introduce the character Pantosaurus and his very catchy song!

The children learn the importance of keeping themselves safe and that the contents of their pants is private.

There are useful links on the presentation with advice for parents on how to support at home.

Parents and Carers,

Can you help? This is a call out to anyone who can help with our Careers Fair or can suggest someone else who might be able to come along and support us. The fair will be set up in the hall on Thursday 13th February between 1.30pm and 3pm.

If you are available and would be happy to let the children talk to you about your job, then please get in touch.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

Dear Parents/ Carers,

On Thursday 13th February we will be holding a Careers Fair in the school hall, where all children will have the opportunity to visit the hall and talk to people about the job they do.

The idea is to inspire and engage the children in whole range of jobs they might like to do in the future. Children will be thinking about how the skills they learn in school are transferred into future careers.

The Careers Fair will be between 1.30pm and 3pm. The hall will be set out with tables, like a market.

Can you help? If you are available and are prepared to be in our hall ready to talk about your job, then we would love to include you in our Careers Fair. You may decide to bring in things to show to the children or leaflets to give out.

Ideally, I would love a range of Careers represented in the hall.

If you are able to offer your time to help then please phone the school office or email me directly:

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

Children will have brought home a letter last night outlining our exciting Pet Day on Friday 24th January. A copy of that letter is included here too.

It is a fab day, with the intention of learning all about how to care for our pets.

The reply slip is to be returned to the teacher outlining permission for your child to participate. (Any child who is anxious around animals will not be expected to be around those animals and will be safely away from pets when in class)

Teacher would like to hear about any pets that children have and that may be available to be brought in by yourself for a short, timed visit in school. Teachers will arrange this with you directly as they will be wanting to arrange a range of different pets across the day.

Sadly, not everyone will be able to bring a pet into school. We will be encouraging any child who wants to talk and share about their pet to bring in a photograph to share. There will be time in the day for everyone to talk about their own pet.

We are excited to say we are being visited by local vet, Mike Madden and also by Jelly Exotic Pets, who will be talking to the children during the day too.

Sounds like a fun day!!
