4M Forest Fun Session 7/11/23

Miss Lockwood and Miss Smith kindly took 4M to Beech’s Base today, where the children continued with their Roman topic, making Roman porridge and moved on with their Science topic – Sound – making their own musical instruments from recycled bottle tops, sticks and string!

4M Travel Workshop

4M had a great morning with a Be Bright Be Seen workshop! The children looked at how to stay safe with the darker evenings and mornings.

They conducted an Science experiment to test which fluorescent colour would be the best to wear! After the investigation, the children concluded that fluorescent yellow was the best. After such a great workshop, the children have all been given a pair of bright gloves to wear during the darker season.

4M – 500 Words Story Writing Competition

Morning Parents

Before half term I sent home parts of the children’s work for typing up and submitting for The BBC 500 Words Competition, which is something all children at NJS have been involved in preparing for across the last half term. The closing date is approaching and we need parental help to submit entries before the closing date of Friday 10th November. At present 4M only have two stories entered!!

Details about the competition and where to submit cab be found via this link:

500 Words Competition

The children have their stories planned and written – they just need to type it up and then submit – with your help – to the website above.

Ideally I would also like to receive copies of their stories and the certificates they receive for entering, so I can put them into their English books here at school.

Please support your child where you can or let me know and I can get a laptop for them to use one lunchtime!

Many thanks for your support

Year 3 Lunch and Learn

REMINDER: Lunch and Learn sessions are taking place 11am-12.30pm on Tuesday 3L, Wednesday 3B and Thursday 3T.

Thank you to all parents and carers who have booked a space for these sessions…

On arrival at school we will take payment for your adult meal if you are having one: the cost is £3.12 (set by catering not ourselves!).  If you can possibly have the exact money this would really help us.

We hope these are enjoyable and beneficial sessions and we thank you for your support.

Mrs M
