July marks the start of South Asian Heritage Month. This celebrates the culture, history and difference made by the 3 million people in the UK with South Asian heritage. Children have discussed and learnt about this in school, with a particular focus on the 2 NJS Courageous Advocates who come from South Asian countries.

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all ok. Next week the following classes will be attending Beech’s Base:
Monday 11th July: 6B
Wednesday 13th July: 3P
We are going to trial the whole class going for the Morning and Afternoon sessions as the weather is warmer 🙂
Children can arrive in their clothing for outdoor learning and clean footwear (trainers):
- Old clothing – long sleeves and trousers no matter the weather please.
- Gloves – even though the weather is warmer, these are useful to protect from splinters.
- Suitable waterproof clothing if the weather is wet/ Optional waterproof trousers or all in one for water fun.
Children will need to bring in a separate named carrier bag:
- Wellies/Outdoor Footwear
- Carrier bag for wet/dirty clothing
- Clothing to change into including spare socks just incase they get overwhelmed in mud/water! Uniform not required on this day.
If you have any questions please email me: jeni.kuczynska@taw.org.uk

Art Club Marking Refugee Week
We have created ‘Healing’ artwork inspired by Nima Javan an abstract artist who sought refuge in the UK in 2019.
National Refugee Week 2022
Refugee Week is an annual festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees. This year’s theme is healing.
We All Have the Right to be Safe
We believe that everyone deserves a home and has the right to seek safety for themselves and their families.
Children at NJS will be marking this festival by watching some short films about young people who have taken refuge in Britain and the journey they went on to get here, completing some ‘healing’ activities together and by doing some art work inspired by the illustration below.
The illustration marking Refugee Week 2022 is by Nima Javan, a painter specialising in traditional Persian art and contemporary abstract art. Nima’s current work is inspired by ‘Persian miniatures’, using characters found in traditional paintings as well as his own creations. Originally from Quchan in North East Iran, Nima sought refuge in the UK in 2019.
HTA at Beech’s Base on Tuesday next week
All children that have received a Head Teacher’s Award this week and the last few weeks, are invited to have their lunch at Beech’s Base on TUESDAY next week.
See you there.
Thanks

URGENT; Lost Mobile Phone
We have a Year 6 pupil from 6B who has lost her phone. It was placed in the box this morning and it is not there this evening. The phone case has a letter K on it.
Please can all parents check their child’s phone and bag and email me Nicola.moody@taw.org.uk if it is found.
Yr 6 Leavers’ Hoodies
Year 6 have received their leavers’ hoodies today, a huge thank you to our wonderful PTA for their efforts in fundraising over the last 12 months. We would like to remind the children of the messages they heard today:
- The hoodies can be worn in replacement of your green jumper
- Green jumpers MUST be kept as they are required for the occasional event before you leave (class photo day etc)
- No hoods to be worn during school at any point.
- Be sensible with the weather: please do not wear your hoody when it is particularly warm.
- Please ensure they are washed regularly
The children look amazing and are all very happy with their new hoody!
Best wishes,
Year 6 team
