Yr 5 – Local Area Visit to St.Andrew’s Church

On Thursday afternoon Year 5 will be going on a local area to visit to St. Andrew’s Church, Church Aston – a religious building which is not St. Nicholas” church. Being a local visit all consent was given at the start of the school year as part of the information pack.

We will leave school straight after lunch and we will be back before the end of the school day.

URGENT: Dinner Arrears

Thank you for your support.

Toilet Twinning at NJS

Wow! What a day!

A huge thank you to each & every child who came to school dressed in BLUE 4 A LOO! You have helped to raise awareness, and money, for people living in global poverty.

The official amount will be added up on Monday, but we have managed to surpass our target and raise OVER £300 for Toilet Twinning – this means we can twin 5 toilets for communities in the poorest areas of the world!

A HUGE thank you to the Global Avengers for their hard work & effort in organising today’s events.

Pictures and more information to follow next week, but a massive thank you for helping our children to become global citizens!

Blue 4 a Loo – Friday 24th March

As part of our ongoing efforts to develop Global Citizenship Education in our children, we will be holding a Blue 4 a Loo mufti day on Friday 24th March.

We ask that all children come to school wearing blue clothing for a £1 voluntary donation. All funds raised will go towards our contribution to Toilet Twinning – a campaign to fund toilet blocks in some of the poorest countries across the world.

Our Global Avengers led an assembly this week on the issue, and will be helping to run a series of activities on this day. There will also be a cake sale where all items will be available for voluntary donations.

Our effort links in with our school values of Courage, Community & Compassion and we are excited that our children will be able to play their part in bringing about change for those most in need.
