06.12.23 – Year 4 Music!

Good morning everyone,

This week year 4 have a fantastic opportunity to have a lesson within the music department at Burton Borough School. On Wednesday afternoon (06.12.23), we will be taking half of the year group at a time for a 45 minute lesson with the BBS music teachers.

As per the home school packs (signed at the start of the year), permission for local visits (like BBS) has already been agreed. Anyone who doesn’t have permission will remain in school.

We will be heading to BBS in the afternoon only and we will be back just before the end of the school day.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Many thanks,

Mrs Ollerenshaw, Mr Moody and Mrs Naylor

ANTI-BULLYING WEEK AT NJS!

Anti-Bullying Week 2023 is coordinated in England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. This year it has the theme ‘Make A Noise About Bullying’ and will take place from Monday 13th to Friday 17th November.

At NJS, the children are all completing different tasks in class around the theme of bullying. We want to be a ‘bully buster’ at NJS! What is Bully Buster? Well, a bully buster at NJS is someone who takes action when bullying is happening; someone who helps those around them and someone who speaks up! All children have designed a ‘bully buster’ badge and had in depth discussions on what they included and why.

Alongside the tasks in class, the whole school attended an assembly where Wellbeing Mentors from BBS came along. The children from Burton Borough were fantastic and shared some key messages with the children. What bullying is? What to do if they are being bullied? And many more.

Here is the presentation that BBS delivered:

Final Anti-Bullying Week 2023 – Primary Assembly

We look forward to seeing you all! The children are really excited to show you how much they have discovered over the weeks. The violin is not an easy instrument to play and each week they have shown a great amount of resilience.

Being a ‘Bully Buster’ in 4OP!

ANTI-BULLYING WEEK 2023!

4OP have had a fantastic start to anti-bullying week! This year the theme is make a noise about bullying and we’ve spent some time looking at what bullying is.

We have discussed different scenarios and even had an assembly led by wellbeing mentors from BBS pupils.

We want to be a bully buster in 4OP… someone who spots bullying and makes the right choices. Someone who helps others and makes a noise about something happening that doesn’t feel right.

4OP are really clear on how bullying is repetitive and intentional and even looked at what ‘banter’ is.

Well done 4OP!!!

Be bright be seen 4OP

4OP had a great morning with a Be Bright Be Seen workshop! The children looked at how to stay safe with the darker evenings and mornings.

They conducted an experiment to test which fluorescent colour would be the best to wear! After the investigation, the children concluded that Pink was the best. After such a great workshop, the children have all been given a pair of bright gloves to wear during the darker season.

Well done 4OP!

BBC 500 Words Competition!

As you may have seen on the NJS website, we are hoping to enter as many children as possible into the BBC 500 words competition!

At some point, the children will plan and create their own individual story that they would like to enter. All the ideas are original and we spent some time developing the main character and then mapping out the stories! All children can enter the competition however, we need your help!

Below you will find the link to the website and the instructions from the BBC on how to enter! To help with this, we will be copying the story for the children to bring home so they can be entered.

We wish all the children the best of luck! They certainly have been creative and should be very proud of themselves!

Thanks,

The Year 4 Team!
