A reminder that on Friday 8th, we will be holding our first House Team Meetings of the year. During these, the Year 6 children will be given the opportunity to stand for House Team Captain.
We ask the children that want to put themselves forward prepare a short speech outlining the reasons as to why people should vote for them.
The winners, including vice captains, will be announced in assembly on Friday afternoon.
The year 6 team are really looking forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday. We hope you have enjoyed a rest over the summer break.
Just a gentle reminder that on Wednesday we are expecting the children to return to school with their pencil case, water bottle and P.E Kit. Children may also wish to bring a free choice reading book with them from home.
Each class has 1 PE session this week. With the hot weather being forecast, we advise bringing sun hats and sun cream.
During the next few days we will be sorting our roles such as Worship Leaders, School Council and House Team Captains – children may wish to begin thinking about a short speech they would like to deliver, if they feel confident enough to put themselves forward for any of these roles.
Enjoy your final few days off,
Year 6 Team.
Year 6 need to remember to meet us at church tomorrow morning. They also need a fabric pen for their shirt signing, a ‘bag for life’ to carry their books home and a change of clothing for their Leaver’s Party.
Thanks!
Thursday 20th July will be ‘Year 6 Leavers Day’ with a range of activities planned for Year 6 to mark their last week at NJS.
The day will run as follows:
9am: Leavers Church Service at St Nicholas’ Church. This is a whole school service. Year 6 parents and carers only are able to attend and we ask that this is limited to a maximum of 2 per Year 6 pupil.
Back in school the children will have the opportunity to have their shirts signed! Please send the children with a spare item of NJS uniform that you are happy for them to have signed by staff and friends. Please can children bring a Sharpie or other appropriate pen for them to be able to do this (they will not be able to use school stationery).
Leavers Lunch: Year 6 will be deciding the lunch menu with the catering team! This menu will apply to the whole school:
Year 6 have chosen the Leavers Lunch for Thursday 20th July.
This will be the lunch served to the whole school on that day, not just Year 6.
Hot Dogs and rolls
Chips
Baked Beans
Sweetcorn
Quorn Sausages for vegetarians
Onions
Tomato and BBQ Sauce
Salad
Shortbread Biscuits
Ice Cream – Flake / Sauce and Sprinkles
3.30-5pm: Leavers Party! All Year 6 pupils are invited to a Leavers Party with the NJS staff team. The children can bring a change of clothing (this should include trainers and comfortable clothing) for this party. The children will take part in activities they have chosen with staff members and then be treated to chips and ice cream for a party tea!
Thursday is the leaver’s party for year 6, from 3:30pm until 5pm. Your child is welcome to bring in bright clothing to get changed into after school. If you have any photo booth props or Hawaiian themed props could we please borrow them for the afternoon?
Many thanks,
Year 6
