6J completed their first taste of Tag Rugby in PE last week. We began the unit by looking at some of the key skills: agility, passing, catching and moving into space. There is a Yr 5/6 Tag Rugby tournament coming up so it was great to see lots of children giving the sport a go!
A huge congratulations to our Yr 6 mathematicians who represented NJS at the Wrekin College Maths Challenge on Friday. An incredible 55 teams entered and we are delighted that NJS finished in 6th place, and as the 4th highest school overall. A remarkable achievement by these children who should feel very proud of their efforts.
Key things to note for next week.
Please remember clubs are now active and children are expected to attend those clubs for which they have signed up.

NJS are delighted to announce that we have been award the Global Neighbours Bronze Award for our commitment to issues of climate change, global poverty & social inequalities.
The assessor commented on the “clear commitment by leaders at all levels, including governors, to making the school a place where its vision and values are rooted in global citizenship.”
Further in the report, praise was given to the progress we have made in ensuring our children receive a quality education in global citizenship: “The school’s journey towards establishing a culture of global concern, underpinned by an inspiring global curriculum is impressive.”
The pinnacle of this was our amazing work on Toilet Twinning, which helped to out toilet blocks and sanitary water in 6 of the poorest parts of the word.
We are only the second school in the Telford & Wrekin area to be awarded this accreditation and are very proud of the hard work of our staff & children.
6J have been exploring worldviews in Beliefs & Values today. We have spent time looking at the belief of Humanism.
Here are some quotes from the children of 6J after today’s lesson:
“I’ve enjoyed learning about a new topic, I didn’t even know Humanists existed before today…” Kacey Mae
“It’s a lot more fun when we get to learn using stories we haven’t heard before…” Kayla
“It has been interesting because I can link it to my own thoughts, it’s nice to learn about things other than the main religions we normally do…” Brianna
“I’ve liked it because if you are a Humanist, or agnostic, then you will feel like your beliefs have been included in our school…” Daisy
Year 6 Homework due in Wednesday 27th September
Here is a shot of the daily maths challenge attempted in 6J today!
We have done a couple of these recently, and after finding them challenging last week, 6J have really started to get to grips with the Consecutive Number Challenge.
We found that the best strategy is the look for the box which has the least number of possibilities. E.g. there are 10 even numbers between 0 and 20, but only 2 cubed number.
We would love for you to have a go at these alongside your children.
