Following the previous cancellation a reminder that the Be Bright Be Seen walk to school will take place next week!
This has been rearranged for tomorrow/Thursday 23rd November at 8.20am. If you and your child are participating in this walk from Shuker Field please wear bright outer clothing!
If children are not participating the walk usual, full uniform please.
We have had a concern from an Avenue Road resident today as parents/carers are regularly parking across their drive to drop off and collect for school.
It is not appropriate or safe to park blocking a residents driveway and we would ask that you respect our neighbours by not doing this.
We of course actively promote walking, cycling or scooting to school for the many benefits this brings.
Should you need to use a car to travel to school we ask that you use Specsavers Car Park or Shuker Field and walk from there.
Please keep our roads safe and accessible for residents and our children.

Anti-Bullying Week 2023 is coordinated in England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. This year it has the theme ‘Make A Noise About Bullying’ and will take place from Monday 13th to Friday 17th November.
At NJS, the children are all completing different tasks in class around the theme of bullying. We want to be a ‘bully buster’ at NJS! What is Bully Buster? Well, a bully buster at NJS is someone who takes action when bullying is happening; someone who helps those around them and someone who speaks up! All children have designed a ‘bully buster’ badge and had in depth discussions on what they included and why.
Alongside the tasks in class, the whole school attended an assembly where Wellbeing Mentors from BBS came along. The children from Burton Borough were fantastic and shared some key messages with the children. What bullying is? What to do if they are being bullied? And many more.
Here is the presentation that BBS delivered:

Bullying is NOT welcome at NJS! Check us out making some noise in our assembly!

Dear parent/carer,
As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online on TTRS.
Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.
To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.
In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans.
