A reminder to all those children who attended the Yr 6 Photography Workshop at Newport Deer Park: you are required to email your teacher a copy of your one chosen photo to be entered to the judges as soon as possible.
The children that used a school device for this event will have the chance to do this during this week.
Thank you!
Well done to all of our children who participate in art club & I would also like to thank Miss Jenkins, Miss Branton, Miss Crompton & Mrs Wood who have all worked exceptionally hard to produce the most fabulous stage backdrop for our Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Best wishes Mrs Jukes 😁

Huge thanks to the NJS team who have taken Year 6 to Alton Towers today, they have had great fun!
I have been so impressed by all the children who have entered the NJS Mental Health Week competition. Here are some of the entries – these are all great examples of how to look after your own mental health, as well as supporting the wellbeing of your friends and families! I will be drawing the winners’ names out of a hat on Monday…

As you will be aware the Year 6 cohort have taken their SATS this week: assessments in spelling, punctuation and grammar, reading and Maths. The children have taken a total of six statutory assessment papers across four mornings.
I wanted to write as I wanted you to know how proud we are of these children.
As we know the last two years have been like no other: we have faced challenges that have tested our resilience and meant that children have had lengthy periods of time away from school. Despite the impact of this our sensational Year 6 children had the perseverance, motivation and determination to manage the challenge of the assessments this week. They worked hard, tried their best, supported each other and kept positive. I am in awe of their resilience and character.
Whatever the results ‘tell’ us in July I am a very proud Headteacher because our Year 6 children are wonderful young people who have developed skills and personalities that can go on to achieve great things.
Well done to Year 6 from our school family: have a lovely weekend.

Here is the link to our NJS Wellbeing page on the website. As this week is Mental Health Awareness Week, why not have a look? Here you will find lots of information about what we get up to in school regarding wellbeing and mental health, as well as some useful links.
Dear Year 6 Parents and Carers,
I am writing to you regarding an exciting opportunity for your children to take part in a visit to Chetwynd Deer Park.
Year 6 children from Newport Junior School will visit the Deer Park to complete a photography workshop. We are incredibly lucky that the Deer Park team offer this opportunity to local schools and the children thoroughly enjoy the experience.
The visit will take place on Thursday 19th May. Children will arrive at school and leave at normal, allocated times. (Please ensure children are in school promptly by 9am as we will need to leave on time). Class 6K and half of 6J will attend the Deer Park in the morning and Class 6B and half of 6J will visit in the afternoon. Children will walk to and from the Deer Park.
All children will require a packed lunch on this date (if your child is in receipt of Free School Meals staff will order a packed lunch from our kitchen for your child). All children will need to wear suitable outdoor clothing including a pair of wellies and waterproofs or sunhat and suncream.
Children are also required to bring a camera for this trip, where they will need to take photos and then select their best one to email to their teacher. (If you are unable to provide your child with a camera or device to take photographs with please email your class teacher so arrangements can be made)
The camera will be the sole responsibility of the child and he/ she must look after it themselves.
Each child will choose their ‘favourite’ photograph and these will be displayed at Newport Show on Saturday 9th July.
Please complete your permissions on Parent Pay by Tuesday 17th May. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to ask myself or a member of the Year 6 team. Thank you for your support.
