RAF Juno visits NJS!
‘The best Monday ever!’ Commented the staff and children after our visit from an RAF helicopter this morning! We’ve had a super day!
This visit followed on from a talk from an RAF pilot as part of our Raising Aspirations work earlier this year. Children today saw the helicopter land, had the opportunity to sit on the helicopter and ask questions, interviewed an air traffic control officer and had a tour of the outside of the helicopter with a pilot! The crew were amazing; they really engaged the children and the children were so excited to learn from them.
We are extremely grateful to the crew who visited us today, thank you for making memories for our NJS children.
MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY!
Good morning everyone,
This week I thought I would share a simple activity you could create at home. The emotion wheel below can be used with children of all ages, who are struggling to express their current feelings. The wheel gives children to chance to share how they are feeling and this can open many conversations at home.
Using the wheel on a regular basis will help children see the changing nature of their feelings and can help reduce anxiety around feeling a certain way. You could create the one I’ve provided or even design your own as a family!
Have a lovely week,

Mental Health Awareness Week!
In year 5, we have had a lovely week looking at things we can do to support our mental health. We also looked at being kind to ourselves and understanding ‘what makes you… you’! This has been really powerful with the children to think positively. They should be extremely proud of themselves!
URGENT: Lost Property
Our school lost property bin is stored next to the office. If your child has ever lost anything we are very happy for you to check in here.
It is currently overflowing with lost property. We have sorted through this afternoon and are in the process of returning the few named items.
Most items are not named.
Thursday and Friday at 3.15pm this week the lost property bin will be wheeled onto the main playground for parents and carers to claim any items.
After Friday we will distribute the remaining lost property between our pre loved uniform store and a local charity shop.
Please can we encourage you to check at home for any missing items and then parents/carers/children check the bin for these over the next 48 hours.
Thank you for your support.
WALK AND TALK!!
Good afternoon,
Today the guardians of safety shared an assembly with the pupils of NJS about Mental Health Week. In this assembly, they introduced something new we will be doing called ‘Walk and Talk’. What a better way to introduce the concept by having a whole school version? The children were brilliant and so many let us know how lovely it was to slow down and have a conversation with someone.
Class teachers can pick a time once a week to continue this new idea!

Mental Health Week…
Hello again!
The guardians have been busy in preparation for Mental Health Week! Isla and Daisy both offered to read a story that can help with anxiety or worries.
Isla is reading ‘The Worrysaurus’ by Rachel Bright! https://youtu.be/XEHIIPhSI08
Daisy is reading ‘Gretel the Wonder Mammoth’ by Kim Hillyard. https://youtu.be/woJzyauwCwc
These links will be great to share with your children if they are worried or feel anxious about something! Books are a great way of sharing key messages with children for a range of topics.
We hope you enjoy these videos!

Guardians of Safety… Mental Health Week Message!
The guardians of safety have been working very hard to prepare for Mental Health Week! This week in school they will be delivering a message to the children about the theme for this year… Anxiety. They also wanted to share the same message with all the parents/carers!
Look out for what the NJS pupils get up to this week! We will add more as the week goes on.
Mindfulness tip: Sometimes when things get on top of us, a simple walk can do wonders! Go for a walk with someone and get some fresh air!
