6J Skills4Bills

6J had a brilliant time at their Skills 4 Bills session last Friday. The workshop was aimed at teaching children about smart financial choices, how debt works and how to be more efficient with spending. The children thoroughly enjoyed the session and learned lots about how to be safer with money!

NJS & BBS Visits to Newport Hub

As part of our on-going efforts to work closely together, children in Year 6 at NJS have been invited to attend sessions at Newport Hub alongside children from Yr 7 at BBS. This is a chance for the children to find out more information about what opportunities Newport Hub has to offer, as well and interacting with some children from Yr 7 at BBS.

NJS children will be walked down to the Hub by a member of the Yr 6 team who will remain with them for the full session. Children are then to either walk home (permission will be needed) or collected by a known adult.

The sessions will run from 3.30pm to 4.15pm.

Children will be coming home with a slip today which we ask you to return if you are interested in your child taking part. The dates for the sessions are outlined below. Children will be allocated a session based on the number of slips returned.

For more information about this, please speak to a member of the Yr 6 team!

Macie’s Art work

A huge well done to Macie in 6J who has enjoyed our guided reading book: Letters from the lighthouse by Emma Carroll so much that she went home and recreated her own version of the Budmouth Point light house.

Macie shared this in assembly and we are all very proud of her effort – a wonderful piece of work which is on display in our classroom!
