Year 3 – Chetwynd deer park trip 4th/5th October

It is with great pleasure we get to announce our first trip with NJS.

We have been invited to spend some time at Chetwynd deer park, here we will be enjoying some nature activities as well as an opportunity to spot some deer across the beautiful park.

Each class will spend half a day at the deer park;

3B – Wednesday 4th morning

3L – Wednesday 4th afternoon

3T Thursday 5th morning

Here are some important details regarding the trip, please ask your child’s class teacher if you have further questions.

Consent– Consent is required for all pupils to attend, this is done through the parentpay application.

Clothing– Children will be able to come dressed appropriately for the outdoors on the day of their trip, we recommend long trousers and multiple layers due to the time of year. Raincoats are essential. We advise children wear old or ‘muddy’ trainers. Wellington boots are not recommended as we will be walking to the deer park from school. 3B and 3T may wish to bring a change of clothes for the afternoon.

Transport – We will be walking from school to the deer park, this is about 20 minutes. We will depart and arrive during school time. Please be lenient with 3L in case we have a slow walk back.

Lunch – We will be having lunch at school at the normal time, there will be no change to hot dinners or packed lunch. Break time snacks for 3B and 3T will need to be taken with the children.

We have enjoyed this trip for many years, it is a great opportunity and we know our year 3 cohort will have a great time. Please sign up on parentpay as quick as possible, any issues with parentpay please contact the office.

With thanks,

Year 3 team

3T this week

This week in 3T we have been learning about our British Values. We have focused on 2 so far, those being Rule of Law and Democracy.

On Wednesday the children chose and agreed on our 5 key class rules and expectations. They even suggested a law that they would create if they could with some excellent suggestions such as no littering, no more cutting down trees and no more cruelty to living things.

To recognise Democracy we have chosen our student council representatives, PE leaders and our worship leader.

Over half of the class nominated themselves to be a student council rep and they prepared and presented a short speech to their peers before voting for our student councillors. After a closely ran election our chosen councillors for this year are: Jessie S and Piper. Well done both! I’m sure you will do an amazing job and help to make NJS even better!

Our PE leaders for this year will be: Charlotte and Darcey

Well done both! They will help with PE equipment in lessons, help to ensure our school PE equipment is looked after amongst other responsibilities.

Our worship leader this year will be Isla H who will meet with Reverend Merry alongside our other school worship leaders and help shape our school worship at NJS. Well done Isla!

It’s been a great week in 3T and the class have settled in extremely well! They have definitely earned a well deserved rest this weekend! Please remember we have swimming on Monday.
