BBC Learning!

The BBC are launching daily learning activities from Monday which can be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/primary

You are welcome to ‘dip into’ these if you wish.  Staff will be looking at them as they are released and signposting any particularly useful resources to you.

Free School Meal Vouchers

The challenges continue… The national system is reported to be ‘overloaded’ and this is causing a delay in the vouchers being emailed to you.  Please appreciate as a school we are doing everything we can: this is a national issue.

Our system shows that last weeks vouchers have all now been received, we are awaiting the release of this weeks vouchers.  Vouchers are £15 per child per week.

Thank you for your support.

Fiction Express – ‘Takeover’ now over!

Dear Parents,

Thank you to all parents who have helped their children to access Fiction Express story ‘Takeover’, over the past five weeks or so, and congratulations to those children in Year 3 who managed to finish the whole book, ‘Takeover’ – you know who you are! (only two children from 3B managed this!). Don’t forget – you can still access the book at any time.

The next book I would like Year 3 to start reading is called ‘The Pampered Prince’ and the first chapter is released next week, on Friday 24th April. Children will then have until Tuesday 21st April, 4pm, to vote for their choice of what happens in the next chapter. Between now and then, why not try one of the other 100 or so books available on Fiction Express?

Please continue to try and read at home during this difficult time – remember, if you’re fed up with not being able to go out:

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

                                                                                                          Jhumpa Lahiri

You could also catch up with Miss Hardy’s online reading via the NJS YouTube channel, with a new book, starting soon! Above all, keep reading!

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Butler

Military Kids Club

Good Morning everyone! I hope you have had a lovely Easter and are staying safe. 

 Before the schools closed, I gave all the children from the Military Kids Club a scrapbook to use and within it was a request for a free reading book from Reading Force. If you have not yet had chance to return your slip for a reading book or you have misplaced your scrapbook then please go to www.readingforce.org.uk where you can fill out an online form to request a scrapbook, reading book, or both! This offer is open to anyone with a direct military connection, including veterans. 

 Reading Force is still operating and the current circumstances are perfect for starting a scrapbook as a family. You could even get grandparents and wider family involved through FaceTime/Skype or other means as a way of staying connected during these difficult times. If you are stuck for ideas then there are also some great family stories on the website. 

 If you have been working on your scrap book and would like to share your thoughts or pictures then I would love to hear from you! Please email me at kayleigh.naylor@taw.org.uk
