Toilet Twinning at NJS

Wow! What a day!

A huge thank you to each & every child who came to school dressed in BLUE 4 A LOO! You have helped to raise awareness, and money, for people living in global poverty.

The official amount will be added up on Monday, but we have managed to surpass our target and raise OVER £300 for Toilet Twinning – this means we can twin 5 toilets for communities in the poorest areas of the world!

A HUGE thank you to the Global Avengers for their hard work & effort in organising today’s events.

Pictures and more information to follow next week, but a massive thank you for helping our children to become global citizens!

Yr 6 – Break Time Snack Reminder

Can we please remind parents that break time snacks are not to be placed in lunchboxes. We currently have children accessing lunchboxes every break time to get their snack; these should be in bags or on the desk where they can be accessed easily.

We have recently had food go missing from lunchboxes and as a result will be storing the lunch box trolley out of bounds for the children until lunchtime. This measure is to ensure that children are not accessing food from a lunch box which does not belong to them.

Break time snacks should be a healthy option as outlined in our Healthy Eating Policy.

Many thanks.

Yr 6 Leavers’ Hoodie Letter

Please can we ask parents to return the size and name information for the Yr 6 leavers’ hoodies as soon as possible.

The letter, which has gone home today, provides guidelines for sizing and a space to chose the lettering to be printed.

We are aware the date for return on the letter states Monday 20th, Mr J held onto them for a bit too long!

We ask that these are returned as soon as they are filled in.

If you have any questions regarding these hoodies then please speak to a member of the NJS PTA or Yr 6 team.

Thank you.

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/

For more information on Toilet Twinning, please visit the official campaign website: https://www.toilettwinning.org/
