Dear Parents and Carers,
Tomorrow, children in 3B need to come to school dressed for Beech’s Base, as we will be spending the day outdoors. They should wear warm clothing, waterproofs and wellies, or suitable footwear for muddy conditions
Children need to also bring:
Hopefully, the weather will continue to be kind to us!
Kind regards,
Mr Butler
Parents and Carers
We are following advice from the Health Protection Hub:
Unfortunately we now have around 30% of your child’s class having tested positive for COVID-19 over the last 10 days.
We are doing what we can to reduce transmission within the class and more widely across the school, but on the advice of the Health Protection Hub we will require sight of negative LFD test results before the children can come into school each day. Please email your result to lynne.stanley@taw.org.uk before your child arrives for school: we will accept your forwarding your NHS confirmation of negative lateral flow or a photograph of the test kit with result. Please understand that if we do not receive this each morning before your child attends for school then we will not be able to allow them into the classroom and will need to contact you to collect your child to carry out an LFT.
This will extend up to and including Friday 4th February.
The efforts that have been made by parents/carers in terms of being vigilant for symptoms and testing the children are greatly appreciated. This next step is an attempt to identify any asymptomatic children that may be coming into school and who haven’t already been identified through testing.
Advice on obtaining test kits is available by following these links:
https://maps.test-and-trace.nhs.uk/
https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
As always, please ensure you are vigilant for symptoms and if your child does display symptoms, please keep them off school and book them a COVID test using this link:
https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test
As general advice, if your child is a household contact of a positive case we would also ask that they take daily LFD tests for a period of 7 days from the date of exposure to the positive case.
We thank you all for your support and send our best wishes to all of those affected.

Just a quick note to let you know that there are positive COVID-19 cases within your child’s class.
We are taking all the measures we can in school to prevent transmission, while trying to provide a full curriculum of face-to-face learning.
In order to assist us in keeping everybody as safe as possible, while keeping the school operating, we recommend that your child test using LFD (rapid) test kits daily for 7 days before coming to school each morning.

As always, please ensure you are vigilant for symptoms and if your child does display symptoms, please keep them off school and book them a COVID test using this link: Get a free PCR test to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
As general advice, if your child is a household contact of a positive case (even at primary age) we would also ask that they take daily LFD tests for a period of 7 days from the date of exposure to the positive case.
Please be aware the final payment for Edgmond Hall is due on Friday 11th February. This is for £50.
The total for the residential is £80.
If you chose to pay in parts and are behind with payments – please get these up to date now too.
All monies need to be in school by this date.
Kindest regards

We have a pupil from 3L who has the wrong trousers following PE last Wednesday. They are missing a pair of TU age 8 trousers with pockets on the side: please can everyone check to see if they have them.
The pupil went home in a pair of John Lewis aged 9 trousers: it may be that a swap is needed!
Please return the trousers to Mr Lawson if found.
Thank you.
Dear Parents,
Please find attached the spellings and homework for Year 3 this half term. Children should have brought home a paper copy of this, last week.

Dear parents,
3P will NOT be attending Beeches Base on Monday 13th December as it is Christmas dinner day. Children are invited to wear Christmas jumpers and join in the festivities tomorrow lunch and afternoon in class!
I will rearrange our Beeches Base visit in the new year and let you know the new date.
Mrs P
Parents and Carers, our Year 3 performance is due to go ahead tomorrow:
Tuesday 7th December 6pm Year 3 at NJS
THE SECURITY GATE WILL OPEN AT 5.30PM (not before so please don’t come early!) and CHILDREN WILL GO INTO CLASSROOMS AS THEY USUALLY DO IN A MORNING WHILST YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE HALL. WE ASK THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE IN FOR 5.45pm.
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.
Mrs M

On Monday 29th November we will be taking delivery of our Christmas tree for the school hall, we are very excited!
It is an NJS tradition that Year 3 children are asked to donate a Christmas tree decoration to place on the tree that the school will then keep and place on the tree each year.
If you would like to donate a decoration please bring it into school on or before the 29th November and hand it to your Year 3 teacher.
Thank you for your support.
