Yr 6 Messy Maths Day

NJS will be holding our Messy Maths Day on Monday 5th June.

Can we ask that Yr 6 children come to school in PE kit for this day as some of our activities will be linked to maths within sport. This will involve children carrying out physical exercise for parts of the day. If you wish to bring a spare change of clothes for after the activities, then please feel free to do so.

Everything the children need will be provided within school.

We are very much looking forward to showing children how their maths within school can be put in practice in real life, including some future careers.

Yr 6 Deer Park Photo Entries

Please can we ask that Yr 6 children submit their best photo from the Deer Park Event asap.

We need these to be in electronic form so we can perform a WeTransfer of all the photos.

Please send your photo to your class teacher via email:

max.jones9@taw.org.uk

jane.kerr1@taw.org.uk

laurie.bold1@taw.org.uk

The deadline for entries is Friday 9th June.

Yr 6 Deer Park – Camera Reminder

Please can we remind you that Yr 6 children are attending the Deer Park on Wednesday for a photography workshop. We will be leaving school at 9am prompt and returning to school by 12:30pm.

Where possible, we ask that children bring their own camera. We have a limited supply of camera/iPads within school, but certainly not enough for every child. If not enough children are able to bring their own camera, children may have to share a device.

Many thanks,

Mental Health Awareness Week!

In year 5, we have had a lovely week looking at things we can do to support our mental health. We also looked at being kind to ourselves and understanding ‘what makes you… you’! This has been really powerful with the children to think positively. They should be extremely proud of themselves!

Yr 6 Photogrpahy Workshop

On Wednesday 24th May, Yr 6 will be visiting Chetwynd Deer Park to participate in a photography workshop.

We will be walking from school to the deer park and must arrive before 09:30am so we ask that children are in school promptly that morning for a 9am departure.

We will be arriving back at school just after 12pm so will eat lunch back at school.  Children can be hot dinners or packed lunch as normal.

The children will be working with a photographer who will show them photography techniques before they have the freedom to explore the deep park and capture images.

Each child will then select their favourite image to submit for the Newport Show competition, with prizes on offer for the winners.

We ask that children bring their own camera for this visit. In the event that a child does not have access to a camera, we have a limited supply in school that we can lend for the day.

Strictly no mobile phones to be used for the visit. 

Please speak to your class teacher if you have any questions about this visit.
