Healthy Snacks.

Please can I remind parents about our Healthy Eating Policy and how we encourage children to bring in healthier snack choices for their morning break. Some children are bringing in chocolate snacks, cakes and biscuits.

Can I also ask that snacks are not kept in the child’s lunchbox. These are not to be accessed during the day until they are needed at lunchtime. Snacks can remain in their bags until morning break.

The link below will take you to our Healthy Eating Policy on the website.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham.

NJS PEN RECYLCING

Mrs Wood kindly organises our pen recycling scheme at NJS and a collection had been arranged for today: look how many we are recycling!  Well done NJS.

There are pen collection boxes in all bubbles so pens can be brought into school for recycling.

England does the Daily Mile

Our school will be taking part in the   England does The Daily Mile on Friday 30th April.

Each bubble will be timetabled to run at a certain time of the day. As it will be a long run it will be easier for the children to be in the correct footwear, therefore,   your child/children come into school in their trainersfor the day.

Many Thanks

SAFE CYCLING

We have been made aware by a member of the community that some NJS pupils have been spotted cycling without helmets.  We are doing brilliantly well with the ‘Big Pedal’ challenge however part of this initiative is also ensuring children understand safe travel.  Please remind your children that when cycling to school they should take their helmet and please support them in ensuring their helmet is correctly fitted.

So.. some useful reminders for safe use of scooters and bikes for the journey to and from school:

*Children  must wear a helmet.

*Children must use the roads or pavements appropriately and be considerate of those travelling on foot.

*Children must dismount their bikes/scooters as soon as they arrive at the green or black gates and should not mount them until they have left school site.

*We advise families to talk together about the safest route to take to school and the best crossing points where children will have good vision in both directions where possible.

KEEP GOING: We are currently 15th nationally out of over 2,000 schools!

WELL DONE NJS, THIS IS FABULOUS!

PLEASE name your uniform!

Please can we ask parents and carers to help us by ensuring all belongings and items of uniform are labelled clearly with their child’s name.  When children leave their belongings around school they are instantly returned if named, if they aren’t named it is very difficult to identify.

Names can be clearly written on belongings but also remember our PTA have a fundraising opportunity with ‘My Nametags’ which are ideal for labelling all items….
