We would like to inform you about the arrangements for Sports Days, which are happening next week.
For Year 5 & 6 we will be holding a traditional Sports Day where the children will have picked their own individual events to represent their team house. Parents are welcome to come along, with a chair, to watch all the events before them. Each child will have 2 or 3 events to take part in.
For Years 3 & 4 we are running things a little differently. The children will be taking part in 8 events, moving as a group from activity to activity. Parents will be able to watch their child perform but will be moving around the school field on a rotational basis, please be prepared to move around the edge of the field following your child from station to station. At each rotation station the children will have the opportunity to compete for 1st 2nd or 3rd and then all results will be grouped together for an overall team winner.
Year 4 – Wed 12th/19th June
4N – Beech’s Base
4M & 4OP – Need their outdoor PE kit for a tennis lesson by the LTA
Many thanks
Team Year 4

Our deadline for having all children congregated ready to board our float is 11.30am, anyone arriving after this time will not be permitted aboard by Newport Carnival Committee rules. You may be able to park near Waitrose or Aldi and walk your children in from either direction to the Shuker Fields as Audley Avenue will be closed.
• Please ensure you stay with your child until they are handed to the adults with our float; Mr M, Mrs M, Mrs Green, Mr Jones, Miss Bold, Mrs Cox or any other member of the NJS staff.
• Once children are aboard the moving float they will be on there until the finish at nearly 1pm, the procession moves off at 12.00pm. Please ensure they have had a good drink and a snack before they climb aboad. Toilets will be on BBS/Shuker Field for use prior to 11.30pm.
