Islamophobia Awareness Month – Assembly

Today, the children in Yr 3, 4 & 6 took part in an assembly looking at Islamophobia Awareness Month.

We discussed what Islamophobia is, the impact it has on individuals and what we, as members of NJS, can do to make a difference. The theme for this year is ‘Seeds of change’ and reflects on how we can all make a small difference by taking action.

At NJS, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive, welcoming and loving environment and this was discussed with the children including how we could all make a difference to the world around us.

For more information on this topic, please take a look at the link: https://www.islamophobia-awareness.org/

Please can we also ask that parents log onto Parent Pay to view the message about the exciting VR Day we have planned for children in December. For children to take part in this workshop, they must have parental consent. Failure to provide consent would unfortunately mean the child would be unable to take part due to the nature of VR headsets and medical consent. If you have any further questions, please contact your child’s class teacher.
