Arrangements for Christmas Performances
Parents and Carers
We have sent some communication out previously about our plans for Christmas performances but I wanted to finalise these with you now. Dates:
Tuesday 7th December 6pm Year 3 at NJS
Thursday 9th December 6pm Year 4 at NJS
Monday 13th December 6.30pm Year 5 at St Nicholas’ Church
Tuesday 14th December 6.30pm Year 6 as St Nicholas’ Church
PLEASE NOTE: If any bubbles have a COVID ‘outbreak’ then performances will need to be ‘cancelled’ and we will advise you of this as soon as we are able. The alternative will be that full performances will be filmed for you to view from home. Year groups will also perform highlights of their ‘show’ on the playground at 2pm on the day their performance is planned (the controls outlined below would also apply in the event of an outdoor performance).
GUIDANCE FOR THOSE ATTENDING LIVE PERFORMANCES AT NJS:
*Strictly one adult per NJS child. STRICTLY NO siblings will be permitted. Please don’t bring along any siblings as we will unfortunately have to turn you away which will be disappointing for you and your child. (All performances will be filmed and shared as we are aware that many family members would have wished to attend.)
*We ask that no one attends the performance who is displaying COVID symptoms: cough, loss of taste/smell or temperature.
*Please wear a face covering. (If you are exempt from wearing a face covering please wear a lanyard to indicate this).
*Please sanitise your hands on arrival and sit in the allocated seats as positioned (chairs will be distanced).
*We would prefer that all audience members take an LFT test the day of the performance.
*External doors will be kept open throughout the performance to allow for good ventilation: please dress appropriately as it will feel cool.
*At the end of the performance we ask all audience members to remain in their seat: children will be dismissed to you one:one to avoid any crowding.
Thank you for your support in enabling the performances to go ahead whilst keeping our school community safe.

Anti-Bullying Week
This has been anti bullying week and we have been thinking about what bullying is and learning about how we should deal with bullying.
I have asked the schools Guardians of Safety to help share the message with you.
“ Bullying is the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. It can happen face to face or online“
It’s not the same as just falling out with someone.
It’s repetitive and it’s on purpose.
We say STOP
Bullying happens Several Times On Purpose
Bullying must stop.
Bullying can happen face to face or it can happen on line.
Bullying can be hitting, pushing, kicking.
It can be name calling or teasing.
It can be leaving someone out and making someone feel threatened.
Bullying is not acceptable ever.
At NJS
we say no to bullying. It is never ok.
We have child friendly guides to bullying in each classroom with advice and help.
At NJS we share Kindness! That was the message in our anti-bullying assemblies and we have certainly shown it in our support for Children in Need today.
Pets on School Site
Please can we ask parents and carers who are entering school site to drop off and collect children to not bring any pets onto site with them. This includes dogs.
We appreciate your support in keeping our school site safe.
Thank you.
Reading Newsletter
I hope you enjoy this half term’s reading newsletter and can share it with the children at home. It’s an opportunity to discuss new books, read book reviews and recommendations.
The newsletter will also be shared on our new twitter feed!
But I’m leaving that technology to Mr Jones!
Thank you,
Mr Rotherham
