Parents have also complained about printing: I have asked staff to design activities that do not involve printing.  Children should be able to work from the slides into their book/on paper.  Your children will be used to doing this in school.

Staff are doing their very best to keep these coming out to you and to try to support you.  This will not be a perfect system, we have never done it before and we are all doing our very best in difficult times.

Thank you for your support.

If any children have drawn, painted, collaged or crafted a rainbow to place in their front window I am happy to receive pictures and I will post them on the website!

Remember to spot Rainbows if you take your daily exercise offer: please be careful and remember to distance yourselves.

Following tonight’s announcement I would like to urge all families to reflect on whether it is essential to send their child to school.  These are tricky times with lots of pressures but we are being told to stay at home.  Please help to support the health of school staff and their families.

Thank you for your support.

Many of you will be aware that we have been working closely with the Rylands Nursing Home on Forton Road.  We have been taking groups of children to visit every few weeks doing a range of activities: singing, craft, board games and reading for example.

Obviously these visits have ceased at the moment which is especially sad for the residents.  Myself and Wendy from the Rylands wondered if NJS children would like to write to the care home or draw a picture and send it in?  Don’t worry if its not this week: it would be great if we could send them throughout the isolation period.  Their address is: 74 Forton Road Newport shropshire TF10 8BT.

This is a great opportunity to ‘make a difference’ NJS!

We have been thinking of our families at lot today as you have experienced your first day at home… we hope it has been okay.  There will naturally be tricky times but there will also be quality times you will treasure.

Watch our Year 5 videos with your children for ‘survival tips’; they have some great ideas!

We miss you all, take care x

If your family may have financial difficulty providing food for yourselves over the coming weeks please contact us.  We have some very generous donations from Friday and some willing staff who can deliver some supplies to your home.

Please email me at nicola.moody@taw.org.uk we are happy to help where we can.  If we have an abundance of requests we will prioritise Free School Meals families.

Take care.

PE with Joe Wickes Monday to Friday at 9am.  Join in by watching https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ

Have fun!

Just an idea….. whilst we can still go for a walk, although you should respect social distancing… why not ask your child to draw/paint a picture and pop it on the front window of your house.  Any NJS children who are passing can play spot the picture!
