Blue 4 a Loo – Friday 24th March

As part of our ongoing efforts to develop Global Citizenship Education in our children, we will be holding a Blue 4 a Loo mufti day on Friday 24th March.

We ask that all children come to school wearing blue clothing for a £1 voluntary donation. All funds raised will go towards our contribution to Toilet Twinning – a campaign to fund toilet blocks in some of the poorest countries across the world.

Our Global Avengers led an assembly this week on the issue, and will be helping to run a series of activities on this day. There will also be a cake sale where all items will be available for voluntary donations.

Our effort links in with our school values of Courage, Community & Compassion and we are excited that our children will be able to play their part in bringing about change for those most in need.

For more information on GCE, please visit our school webpage: https://newportjuniorschool.org.uk/home/learning/global-citizenship/

Yr 6 visit to Newport Trinity Church

Year 6 visited Newport Trinity Church this morning in our on-going effort to show the children how religious buildings can be used across a spread of faiths/denominations.

None of the children had visited this building before and enjoyed looking at how different it is to our usual visit to St. Nic’s, whilst still identifying the distinctive Christian features.

Rev.d David gave us a short service, including a history of the church and answered many of our questions. We are very grateful for Rev.d David hosting us today.
