On Tuesday 8th November, I took an excited Athletics team to Oakengates to take part in the Telford and Wrekin Sportshall Athletics competition. The children were fantastic and threw themselves into every event with great energy. The level of team spirit shown by every NJS pupil taking part was brilliant and they should be very proud of themselves. 

Final photos from day 2 – had to transfer from a waterproof camera, hence the delay!

Mrs Gilmour’s group had a fantastic day yesterday! They went canoeing (and swimming!), gorge walking and completed their John Muir Award by doing conservation work on Fairbourne beach.

Another excellent day – super -impressed by all the children, who took up the challenge of climbing with enthusiasm. Jess, Cameron, Tiegan and Alfie – you really grew in confidence throughout the day, and really pushed through your fears – I’m really proud of you all.

Group 2 have had another super day today. We scrambled and climbed up the Barmouth Slabs this morning and then enjoyed a picnic with hot squash and cake to warm us up at the top! We then did bouldering and traversing to refine our rock climbing skills. Throughout this, the children spotted for each other brilliantly and really supported each other when it was scary and tricky. Their team work couldn’t have been better! We then headed for ice creams on Fairbourne Beach, where we explored the rock pools and caves. We finished the day by completing our John Muir Award – we conserved the beach by litter picking! X
