It was wonderful to see so many parents/grandparents yesterday. Despite the tight squeeze, the children and I had lots of fun and really enjoyed your company.

A huge well done to Anya from 3T, who over the weekend showed one of our 3Cs of Community by litter picking her local area after noticing the amount of rubbish there was whilst on a family walk. She even got her little brother involved in helping her too!

This week in 3T we have been learning about our British Values. We have focused on 2 so far, those being Rule of Law and Democracy.

On Wednesday the children chose and agreed on our 5 key class rules and expectations. They even suggested a law that they would create if they could with some excellent suggestions such as no littering, no more cutting down trees and no more cruelty to living things.

To recognise Democracy we have chosen our student council representatives, PE leaders and our worship leader.

Over half of the class nominated themselves to be a student council rep and they prepared and presented a short speech to their peers before voting for our student councillors. After a closely ran election our chosen councillors for this year are: Jessie S and Piper. Well done both! I’m sure you will do an amazing job and help to make NJS even better!

Our PE leaders for this year will be: Charlotte and Darcey

Well done both! They will help with PE equipment in lessons, help to ensure our school PE equipment is looked after amongst other responsibilities.

Our worship leader this year will be Isla H who will meet with Reverend Merry alongside our other school worship leaders and help shape our school worship at NJS. Well done Isla!

It’s been a great week in 3T and the class have settled in extremely well! They have definitely earned a well deserved rest this weekend! Please remember we have swimming on Monday.
