On Monday evening, the Yr 6 team will be hosting a SATs workshop in the school hall. This is a chance for us to share some key information with you about the upcoming KS2 SATs. We will talk through logistics of the tests, the content of the papers, test timings, how the week will be organised for the children & some ideas as to how you can help at home.

Children are welcome to attend with you should you need them to.

NJS School Hall

5pm start

Just a reminder 5K is at Beech’s base tomorrow. Children can come to school in their outdoor clothing with a pair of outdoor schools in a bag. All children must have a pair of indoor schools/trainers on. Remember coats, hats ,glove etc.. as it is still quite cold outdoor.

Good morning,

Next week the children in year 5 will experience the space dome! We still have some children without permission.
Please could we ask you to check parent pay to state if your child can take part or not.

If you are having issues accessing parent pay, please contact the school office and they will be able to support you.

Many thanks,

The Year 5 Team

Following the Year 6 lunch & learn today, some parents requested a copy of the national curriculum statutory spelling words. These words are used each week through homework and are also revised through English lessons.

Yr 5 6 Spellings – words children are expected to know by the end of Yr 6.

Yr 3 4 Spellings – words children are expected to know by the end of Yr 4.

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.
