Please can I remind parents to be aware of our Healthy Eating Policy which can be found on the Website and our desire to promote healthy snacks at breaktimes. The following section comes from our policy.

Healthy Break Time Snacks
To promote a healthy lifestyle we encourage the children to have a healthy snack at break time (10.30am) each day. A healthy snack will help to keep hunger pangs at bay till lunchtime and aid concentration in class!
What do we mean by a healthy break time snack?
• Any fresh fruit e.g. apple, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes
• Natural dried fruit e.g. raisons, sultanas, bananas
• Any raw or cooked vegetable e.g. celery or carrot
• Plain bread e.g. breadsticks, soda bread, cracker
What does not constitute a healthy snack?
• Flapjacks or granola bars
• Cereal bars
• Fruit covered in chocolate
• Fruit winders
• Tinned fruit
• Yogurts
• Cakes and biscuits
• Crisps
• Croissants
Parents are requested to send in snacks that comply with this healthy eating policy.

Thank you for your support in this area.

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Tuesday 7th February we will be joining schools and youth organisations across the UK in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2023.

Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on children and young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to help to create a better internet.

Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote at NJS, and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home.

To help you with this, the UK Safer Internet Centre have created some free activities and information for parents and carers which are available at: saferinternet.org.uk/
SID-parents. Whether you have 5 minutes to start a conversation or hours to spare,
there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.

If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in touch with your child’s class teacher/myself or Mrs Moody, Mr Moody, Mr Rotherham or Mrs Green, our Designated Safeguarding Leads.

Kind regards,
Mr Butler
