Book Prize Winners

Local author, Daniel Barrass, kindly donated four copies of his fun book, Featherland. The children in year three and four entered a bird related quiz to try and win a copy of the book. Here are the lucky winners. Arlo, Connie, Isla and Seb. That’s a new book they can enjoy reading over the Summer holiday!

Summer Fair – Thursday 2nd July. 2pm-3pm

All parent’s are welcome to our summer fair. 2-3pm on Thursday 2nd July.

Children can be taken around the fair and then leave earlier with parents if accompanied by a parent.

Parent’s who are unable to attend might want to consider giving their children some spending money so their children can go around the stalls. These children will be dismissed at 3.15pm as normal.

We would love donations for our stall- toys and games, books and any white elephant items (odds and end that you might wish to donate to us)

The jar stall is always popular- please donate a jam jar containing a small gift or some wrapped sweets.

Every class is making a product to sell at the fair- further details to follow on what those products will be!

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

School Photos

We were due to have school photos taken tomorrow. This has been cancelled due to the number of children not in school and the need to wear cooler clothing rather than uniform!

A new date will be arranged.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

Changes to Grab & Go

From next week, the kitchen will be stopping the pre-order slips for Grab & Go and allow children to order a Grab & Go meal on the day.

In this summer term, children will be able to take their Grab & Go meal outside and sit with their friends to eat.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

Year 3 Library Visit

Year 3 had a wonderful visit to the town library yesterday. They learned all about how to join the library, they heard all about the Summer Reading Challenge and they had a story with Kirsty.

Thank you to the Newport Library staff and for Mrs Breen for organising our visit.

This is 3B’s visit to the library.

Library visit

Y3 – a trip to the Park.

A lovely time was had by those Year 3 children working with Mrs Jones and Miss Crompton today.

Excellent behaviour and lots of fun had by all!

Advice for parents on WhatsApp

At the request of some parents I am sharing this advice poster about WhatsApp, published by the National Online Safety organisation. It has lots of useful advice and suggestions for parents on the risks of children using WhatsApp and points out that WhatsApp is aimed at children aged 16 and above.

Yr5 WhatsApp Group.

Can I just notify parents that a Yr5 parent has raised a concern around the Yr5 WhatsApp group chats. It appears there is a some inappropriate content being discussed and shared on these group chats, involving people who are not children from NJS. A male, calling himself Zane and claiming to be 14 has been involved in a group chat. The parent who brought this to the school’s attention said that this male was not known to her or other parents she spoke with. Please can I suggest parents look at their children’s WhatsApp chats and monitor their usage closely.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham
