Global Avengers are starting a weekly section on the school newsletter. We aim to equip young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to act against inequality, injustice and work towards a world free of poverty. This half term we are focusing on trying to get the local newspaper into our school as well as inviting in a local MP to show them some of the amazing work our club is doing, and help to raise awareness of our aims on a national scale. We are also working towards the Global Neighbours award which is run by Christian Aid.
Did you know that with £60 you could twin a toilet in a deprived area so that a community has access to clean toilet facilities.
Did you know that there are 666,000,000 (that’s 666 million) people in the world with zero access to clean and safe water.
Did you know that at NJS alone we have 96 clean water taps and 12 clean water fountains.
We look forward to keeping you updated on the work we are doing.

Earlier today, children from each class chose their new Courageous Advocates for this half term.
We look forward to exploring the role each person played in shaping the world which we live in today.
This afternoon, Mrs Castle (associate teacher) has been delivering some French sessions to 6J.
The children practised their pronunciation and all thoroughly enjoyed the session – especially learning about pizza!
Thank you Mrs Castle.
This week at Global Avengers Club, we looked at some of the work that Christian Aid are carrying out in Ethiopia to help families affected by severe droughts and climate change. We used the iPads to research how climate change is affecting specific breeds of animals and the impact of the recent Australian bush fires on species.
Next week we will be putting together some art work to show the impact that climate change is having on the world around us. 
Just a reminder that there will be no Year 6 Maths Club this week due to the school disco.
The first session will be on Wednesday 26th February 3.30pm – 4.15pm.
There is a brand new set of rock star battles on this week. Each battle is live from 09:30 today, and will end at 12:30 on Thursday ready for the winners to be announced in celebration assembly.
Battles:
3P V 4NJ
3B V 3W
4S V 4J
5M V 5H
5L V 6J
6S V 6K
These children represented NJS wonderfully during this afternoon’s upper school hockey tournament, loosing only 1 game during the entire event – to the eventual tournament winners.
We went into the third/fourth play off match which will came through as 4-1 winners, meaning we take the bronze medal!
Mr J and Mrs Wood were incredibly proud of the skill level shown and how the children represented their school.
This week at Global Avengers, we have been looking at Courageous Advocates – people who were brave enough to stand up for what they believed in, and spoke up for those who weren’t able to speak for themselves. People like Greta Thunberg, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa & Malala Yousafazi.
Each Avengers researched a Courageous Advocate and is preparing some information to present to each class teacher after half term. This figure will then be used within class to encourage the children to become the next generation of Courageous Advocates themselves.
The new battle of the bands is set to commence on Saturday 19th October at 12pm and will run through to completion on Thursday 24th October at 12pm with the results being announced in celebration assembly. The battle are shown below.
Boys in Year 3 v Girls in Year 3

Boys in Year 5 v Girls in Year 5
Boys in Year 6 v Girls in Year 6.
Best of luck – get rocking!!
