Over the past 12 months, the school have been working hard to formally recognised as a School of Sanctuary. This is about making sure our school is as welcoming and inclusive as it could be. More information can be found on the City of Sanctuary website but we hope to share more news with you over the coming months.

Y4 Cricket Day
We had the best day today! Lots of good fun was had with coaches Ben and Ryan from Shropshire Cricket Board,
All children have been given a handout advising of a free 2 day cricket camp being run in August at Hodnet and Peplow Cricket Club. This is similar to clubs being held at Allscott and Harpers (these are both full). If you would like any more information, let me know Thomas.marsh@taw.org.uk and I can give you some more details.
4M Wednesday
Could all 4M children come into school on Wednesday in an old t-shirt or apron for Art on Wednesday. If at all possible, please could the children also bring in any old newspapers to cover the tables. We have some but not much!
Thanks! Mr Marsh
Y4 Shropshire Cricket
Please could all Y4 children come in wearing their PE Kits on Tuesday 18th July. All children will be taking part in a cricket workshop delivered by Mr Marsh and Cricket Shropshire.
Free August Cricket Camps at Harpers CC
Following on from Shropshire Cricket Coach Ryan Lockley coming into school on a Friday for Y3 and Y5. There is a follow-up FREE 2 day cricket camp at Harpers CC in Edgmond in August hosted by Ryan and other SCB coaches for all children ages 4-12. This is a great opportunity for your child to further enjoy cricket, make some new friends and learn some new skills along the way. The link in the poster will take you to the sign up page.
4M Beech’s Base and Raising Aspirations
Just a gentle reminder for 4M to come in their Forest clothes tomorrow please for Forest School in the afternoon with Miss Lockwood.
In more exciting news, Mr Marsh has been busy purchasing all the ingredients for the Traybakes that the children are going to be making all day on Wednesday. We can’t wait to sell you our Mint Aero/Chocolate Orange/Malteser Traybakes. Traybakes will be £2 per piece or 2 for £3. We definitely want to be the winning class come Thursday afternoon!
Newport Food Save and Share
4 children and Mr Marsh visited the Food Hub in Newport this morning. The children learnt an awful lot about where food comes and the amount of work that goes in by the volunteers to prepare it each Monday. A special mention has to go to Fiona who gave us a tour, allowed the children to explore and ask as many questions as possible and set up the visit up. It was a fantastic morning.
New Teacher Contacts
Good evening,

Thanks for your support as always!
Y4 Sports Day Rehearsal
Y4 will have their final run through for Sports Day tomorrow morning (Thursday). Could the children come to school please in their P.E. kit. We will be going out when it is coolest and all children will be sitting in the shade when they are not competing.
Please can the children come to school with a full water bottle, a sun hat and suncream applied please.
Thanks for your support,
Mr Marsh, Mrs Jukes and Mr Parker.
Y4 Swimming Gala Yellow and Green
Just a few reminders for Swimming Gala tomorrow for Year 4.
We will be leaving NJS at 1.20pm, walking to the pool – the children need to be dressed appropriately. Our swimming time is 2-3pm, you as parents are then welcome to come along and support your child on their given teams date. Children can then be picked up directly from the pool, after their swimming galas. We request that only one adult per child attends to watch the galas – and no photos or video footage to be taken.
The pool have also requested that parents do not arrive too early, another school has the session before us and parents will not be allowed to enter until 2pm due to safeguarding requirements.
Kindest regards
Mr Marsh, Mrs Jukes and Mr Parker
