Well done to the year 5/6 Rounders team for their amazing teamwork today.  We participated in a Rounders competition at Charlton School today.  Even though we were not victorious, we were praised for the teamwork involved in our fielding and how polite everyone was.  Well done NJS!

Polite reminder of our first Beliefs and Values curriculum visit this Friday (5th June) to Cosy Hall and the link on parentpay to give permission.
Thank you to everyone who has already given permission on parentpay for the Mosque trip, which also includes this visit and the police talk in school next week.
We have been very lucky this year to be able to offer these visits across school to further the children’s understanding of world faiths and the society they are growing up in.

Just a reminder, it is the SEND coffee afternoon on Thursday 21st May at 2pm. We are being joined by a representative from the family hub to share what they can offer in Newport.

Dear Parents/Carers,

During the summer term, the year 5 children will be experiencing a different range of visits and activities to develop tolerance and understanding of others. Our summer term topic in Beliefs and Values is Islam. With this, the children will gain an understanding into another religion and build an awareness around its principles. Leading up to a Mosque Visit (detailed below), the children will also attend an event at Cosy Hall (05.06.26) and will be attending an in school workshop from the Police Hate Crime team (11.06.26).

With this, the children will visit a Mosque (Telford Central Mosque) on Wednesday 1st July during the afternoon. This trip has been set up through our link with the Multicultural Service and has been planned to follow up on the Year 5 Beliefs and Values topic of Islam. We aim to leave school by 1:00pm and will return before the end of the school day. Children will eat lunch at school as normal.

During the visit the children will have an opportunity to explore the Mosque, making comparisons between the building and a Christian church; ask questions to leader of the Mosque and also be able to make links between the classroom based learning they have done and what this looks like in reality.

There is a voluntary contribution of £10.50 to help towards transport costs. If you would like any more information on the trip please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher. Please confirm attendance via parent pay.

Thank you for your support,

Mrs Kerr, Mrs Ollerenshaw, Mrs Parker and Mr Parker.
