Year 3: COVID Update

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.

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: 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.

Missing Trousers!

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.

Year 3 Performance Tomorrow!!!

Performance Arrangements

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.

Christmas Decoration

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.
