Social Media Expectations

We are an incredibly lucky NJS Team with a wonderfully supportive school community.  We have been overwhelmed over recent weeks with your messages of thanks and support and we are really grateful to you.

As we increase our use of social media and online forums please can I remind everyone in our school family of the importance of respect online.  Please be polite to staff members and other users at all times.  If we maintain effective and respectful use then our opportunities will continue to grow.

Thank you all.

Free School Meals

We are continuing to work hard to try to chase the Free School Meals vouchers through the national system.  We believe many of you have now received your first set of vouchers and the system shows the second set are due imminently.

Please know we are as frustrated as you with this system and we are doing our very best.  Thank you for your continued support.

NJS Fence: Please decorate!

Working with our community we would like to encourage you to hang colourful ribbons and decorations on our iron fencing outside the Victorian block on Avenue Road.  Bring some colour to remind everyone what we have to be thankful for and to remind us that after every storm comes a rainbow.

Please only do this as part of your daily exercise and practise social distancing at all times.

We are looking forward to seeing our colourful fence.

Thank you Teachers

I just wanted to say thank you to our wonderful teaching team who kept school open over the Easter Holidays to provide care for our Critical Worker children: they are amazing.

We were delighted to work together with Newport Infant School and Activ8 to maintain this provision; thank you to their staff also.

Year 5 Home Learning Monday 20th April – Day 11

Dear Parents and Year 5s,

We hope that this post finds you all well? We hope that you have had a fab family Easter and have eaten copious amounts of chocolate?!

Please find attached the year 5 home learning activities for tomorrow. The structure has changed slightly, so please may we ask parents to sit with your children to talk through the new format and discuss where the children are best to start. What we are finding is that if you split your day and have more of a structured timetable then this may help you to become focussed. Add into your timetable when you are playing in the garden, going for a bike ride/walk, helping with the cooking/cleaning etc – remember all these skills are still learning!!

Please bear in mind the following:

  • These activities are a guide for what you might work through with as a year 5 child.
  • You may wish to complete additional work using the links provided on the school website or suggestions on the NJS Home Learning information page in the Home Learning books.
  • If the activities provided are too challenging or too much for your child, please adapt the work or amount that you do. There is no obligation to complete every activity set each day. Sometimes the tasks may take too long – don’t feel as though you have to complete them all that day, you can always catch up tomorrow! Likewise some of the tasks set are designed to be completed across the week – we have tried our best to emphasise this on the slides!
  • TTRS and learning off by heart times-tables, general reading, spelling patterns previously sent home are all also very important – these can be completed across the week to suit.

All three teachers are looking forward to seeing your work – please feel free to email any work you have completed to us so we can look at it. Also let us know if you would like any work sharing as we can publish it on our school website (the year 5 page) so other children in the year group can see what you have completed.

Make the most of this extra time at home to enjoy and learn things you wouldn’t normally have time for.

Stay safe and keep smiling!

Love Miss H, Mr M and Mr L x
