It is with great pleasure we get to announce our first trip with NJS.

We have been invited to spend some time at Chetwynd deer park, here we will be enjoying some nature activities as well as an opportunity to spot some deer across the beautiful park.

Each class will spend half a day at the deer park;

3B – Wednesday 4th morning

3L – Wednesday 4th afternoon

3T Thursday 5th morning

Here are some important details regarding the trip, please ask your child’s class teacher if you have further questions.

Consent– Consent is required for all pupils to attend, this is done through the parentpay application.

Clothing– Children will be able to come dressed appropriately for the outdoors on the day of their trip, we recommend long trousers and multiple layers due to the time of year. Raincoats are essential. We advise children wear old or ‘muddy’ trainers. Wellington boots are not recommended as we will be walking to the deer park from school. 3B and 3T may wish to bring a change of clothes for the afternoon.

Transport – We will be walking from school to the deer park, this is about 20 minutes. We will depart and arrive during school time. Please be lenient with 3L in case we have a slow walk back.

Lunch – We will be having lunch at school at the normal time, there will be no change to hot dinners or packed lunch. Break time snacks for 3B and 3T will need to be taken with the children.

We have enjoyed this trip for many years, it is a great opportunity and we know our year 3 cohort will have a great time. Please sign up on parentpay as quick as possible, any issues with parentpay please contact the office.

With thanks,

Year 3 team

Hello parents,

Just a reminder about the Gurdwara trip tomorrow. There will be no change to the school day, children should arrive at normal time.

Please ensure permission has been given through parent pay.

The Gurdwara have requested children bring a head covering. the most ideal will be a form of scarf, whether this is a summer shawl or a winter scarf. As a last resort a beanie or cap will be better than nothing.

Also a reminder to yellow and green house about our swimming gala in the afternoon. Parents may join us from 2pm until 3pm and children may be collected afterwards. We look forward to seeing you there.

Update on message put out yesterday regarding year 3 swimming gala.

*2pm start for parents

Parents will not be aloud in until 2 pm, finishing at 3.

Apologies for the confusion.

Mr L

As you will have seen, our annual swimming gala’s are just around the corner.

In year 3 we will not be focussing on competition but in highlighting the hard work and progress our children have made with their swimming.

This Thursday (18th)  children in Red and Blue house will be visiting Newport pool. With children from Yellow and Green house visiting next Thursday (25th).

All children from respective houses will need their swimming kit on the correct date. Guardians are welcome to join us for the events which will start as close to 13.20 as possible and finish around 15.00. Children can then be collected from the swimming pool or will be walked back to school for as close to normal time as possible.
