Mrs Jukes, NJS Art Coordinator, organised all pupils to enter into the W100 Tennis Art Competition. The children were asked to produce a design inside a W100 stencil that they felt appropriate ahead of the renowned tennis tournament that took place in Shrewsbury this weekend!
The Shrewsbury Club received over 1000 entries from a range of Shropshire schools and shortlisted these entries to 40 finalists. Of the 40 finalists, 14 were from NJS!
Huge congratulations to our finalists who were all invited to the W100 yesterday for a presentation and the opportunity to watch some tennis: Maddie, Sabegh, Fleur, Elrin, Emily, Olivia, Rory, Francesca, Jack, Saul, Jacob, Lillie, Olivia and Beau.
NJS are very proud: we were the school with the largest number of finalists!
The top three pieces of artwork out of the forty were judged by tennis player Gabi Thomas who, when she retired from tennis, has gone on to become an artist. We were delighted that Olivia was third and won a months membership to The Shrewsbury Club!
We done all NJS children: it is something to be proud of that you produced art work for a competition. Thank you to Mrs Jukes and Ms Branton for organising an audience for our amazing art.
