Yr 6 & BBS Hub Update – 4th Feb

Thank you to all those who returned their reply slips for our transition work with BBS & Newport Hub.

BBS have informed us that they will be taking their children on Tuesday 4th February. 

NJS staff will walk with the children from NJS to the Hub at 3.15pm and we are advising that parents are to collect their children from the Hub between 4pm and 4.15pm. NJS staff will be returning to school to accompany any children who attend the after-school club on site.

BBS have advised that there will be items of food/drink for sale, and that children are welcome to bring some money with them should they wish to purchase anything. We are hoping to have a price list to share with you prior to the event.

If the date/time is no longer convenient, please can we ask that you inform a member of the Yr 6 team so we can have an accurate number of children attending.

Any updates we receive from BBS will be sent home via the website posts.

6J Skills4Bills

6J had a brilliant time at their Skills 4 Bills session last Friday. The workshop was aimed at teaching children about smart financial choices, how debt works and how to be more efficient with spending. The children thoroughly enjoyed the session and learned lots about how to be safer with money!

Y6 Girls Cricket

We had a great day at an U13 Girls Cricket tournament. We came 5th out of 8 schools even though all the other schools were Secondary Schools. I am so proud of how the girls played and represented NJS, being the only primary school at the event.

 

6M Skills 4 Bills

6M had a great time this morning learning about different careers, finances and money management. This is really important as the children know the value of budgeting and saving.
