Dear Parents and Carers,

Please ensure that you have logged onto ParentPay to give permission for your child to go on our visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, which is in the first week back after half term, all day, on Wednesday 5th November. More information about the day will be released nearer the time.
If children are in receipt of free school meals, one will be provided for your child on that day. We will organise this later in the week.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 team.

3P had a wonderful time at the Deer Park on Tuesday 14th October.

My group were lucky enough to see a herd of deer! We also measured around the outside of a tree in order to work out how old it was. Lucy was spot on with 500 years old! Well done Lucy.

The whole of 3P were amazing and did NJS proud!

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Thursday 16th October, Class 3M and the Bungalow will be visiting Chetwynd Deer Park, to take part in a 2 hour nature activity session. We will be leaving promptly on Thursday at 9am, so please ensure your child is on time.

We will be walking, leaving NJS at 9am, up to the pedestrian entrance (off Chester Road, opposite Deer Park Drive) and walking back again for 12pm.  Please check the weather forecast on the day and dress accordingly. Children need the following:

• wear suitable clothing and footwear for the outdoor activities (no jeans please). It may be wet grass / some mud, potentially.
• a warm, waterproof (if possible) jacket /coat as we will be outside regardless of the weather.
• a change of footwear for when they are back in class in the afternoon

The children will leave their school bags here at school but may take their water bottle and suitable snack. Lunchtime will take place at school as normal. The session is free of charge. Most children’s parents have now given consent, however any children without consent will remain in school with the other classes in Year 3. 

As always, if you have any questions, please ask and we will be happy to help.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Dear Parents and Carers of 3B,

As you will know, we have our first Beech’s Base session in school, on Wednesday this week, all afternoon. This will be some curriculum-based activities and some exploratory/enrichment ones, in the woodland environment at the bottom of NJS school field.

Please ensure you send your child in wearing clothing that is weather-appropriate / waterproof coats etc, which will keep them warm and dry, i.e.: clothing fairly similar to their Chetwynd Deer Park clothing, wearing a pair of normal trainers for the inside, and their wellies in a bag for the afternoon. The afternoon will go ahead if it it raining, unless the weather is torrential / dangerous.

They will need clothing that they don’t mind getting muddy, as it can be boggy down there. Wellies ARE advised – trainers / walking boots may get heavily soiled by the mud. Several children have, in the past, worn their new white trainers – suffice to say, they weren’t ‘white’ ever again! Long sleeves and trouser legs are a requirement, as they may encounter nettles and thorns. Some children occasionally do wear waterproof over-trousers if they have them – its up to you.

As always, if you need to, please ask questions of us on the yard first thing/ straight after school, or you can email directly.

Kind regards,

Mr Butler
