Year 6 House Team Captain Voting – Friday Afternoon

A reminder that on Friday 8th, we will be holding our first House Team Meetings of the year. During these, the Year 6 children will be given the opportunity to stand for House Team Captain. 

We ask the children that want to put themselves forward prepare a short speech outlining the reasons as to why people should vote for them.

The winners, including vice captains, will be announced in assembly on Friday afternoon.

Year 6 – Welcome Back

The year 6 team are really looking forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday. We hope you have enjoyed a rest over the summer break.

Just a gentle reminder that on Wednesday we are expecting the children to return to school with their pencil case, water bottle and P.E Kit. Children may also wish to bring a free choice reading book with them from home.

Each class has 1 PE session this week. With the hot weather being forecast, we advise bringing sun hats and sun cream.

During the next few days we will be sorting our roles such as Worship Leaders, School Council and House Team Captains – children may wish to begin thinking about a short speech they would like to deliver, if they feel confident enough to put themselves forward for any of these roles.

Enjoy your final few days off,

Year 6 Team.

Yr 6 Bag for life reminder

A reminder that Yr 6 children need to bring a strong bag to school with them in order to take home their NJS books.

A bag for life would be perfect, equally a larger school bag would also work.

There will be a large number of books to carry so we don’t recommend thin plastic bags.

We will start sending books home tomorrow for those children that have their bags.

Thank you.

6J Summer Fayre Product

At the summer fayre on Thursday, 6J will be selling personalised bag tags!

These can be attached to a number of items such as school bags, pencil cases, key rings or clothing zips.

These have all been made by the children in 6J and feature different words, phrases or coloured patterns.

These will be on sale for £1.50 per tag, or 2 for £2. A selection of the tags can be seen in the image below.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Current Yr 6 Swimming Gala Reminder

A reminder for the current Yr 6 children; tomorrow is the swimming gala for GREEN & YELLOW house. Please bring your swimming kit with you to school.

We will be walking to the pool so please keep an eye on the weather in case rain coats are needed.

Messy Maths Day

A huge thank you to the staff for their support with Messy Maths Day at NJS. The aim of today was to show children that the maths we learn in school has real-life, practical use outside of the classroom.

Yr 3 spent time looking at position, directions and shape out on the school field. They also spent time looking at coins and how to give change correctly.

Yr 4 spent the morning looking at budgeting in finance. How did they choose to spend their £1,000?

Yr 5 got to draw on the tables! Lines were used to create intersecting angles which children then measured, as well as looking at angles around school.

Yr 6 worked with Mr Yates – a local accountant – who introduced the children to the concept of profit and loss. A farming scenario allowed children to see how money can be made through a process including taxes and investments.

Hopefully the children enjoyed the day and realised that Maths is all around them in life. Please keep an eye on your year groups’ website area to see individual photos from today.
