LOST PROPERTY
Our lost property bin is overflowing again! We have some kind volunteers who have offered to come and sort through when the weather improves.
In the meantime can we make everyone aware that if your child has lost something we encourage you to come and check in the red bin to the right of the school office.
Please can we also ask that you name all items that come to school: it makes it far easier for us to return them to the right child straight away.
The Year 5 Girls at NGHS
The year 5 girls have all enjoyed their trip to NGHS today. We have created paper sculptures in art. We used ICT to make music & enjoyed archery & team building games. Thank you NGHS.
Yr 4 Science Request
For our Science investigation next week, every child will need a flat plastic lid – larger enough to hold a bar magnet.
4N and 4M will need these on Monday and 4OP will need these on Wednesday .
Kindest regards and thank you for your support
Mrs Jones.
Lost Property
There are lots of unclaimed pieces of clothing that may belong to your child outside Mr Lawson’s classroom- in the Lost Property box.
Please can parents check Lost Property for missing items of uniform before we break for half term.
Thank you.
Dodgeball Results
Some Year 6 children, along with Mr Humphries, went along to the Dodgeball festival this week and performed exceptionally well! With 32 team competing the results were as follows:
1st St Matthews
2nd Lawley
3rd Newport Juniors
The children were excellent, not only showing off their dodgeball skills, but they were also praised for their honesty and sportsmanship.
Well done and congratulations to all that performed!
Clear Plastic Bottles
As part of our ongoing Science curriculum, Mrs Jones requires children to bring in a clear plastic bottle for their Science lesson with her next week. The bottle can be of any size you have ready for recycling – all we ask is that they are clean!
Many thanks

NJS is doing Safer Internet Day 2024!
Dear Parents and Carers,
On Tuesday 6th February we will be joining schools and youth organisations across the UK in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2024. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to help to create a better internet. This year the campaign will be focusing on change online. This includes covering:
• Young people’s perspective on new and emerging technology
• Using the internet to make change for the better
• The changes young people want to see online
• The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline.
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in school, and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home.
To help you with this, the UK Safer Internet Centre have created some free activities
and information for parents and carers which are available at:
Parents and carers – UK Safer Internet Centre
Whether you have 5 minutes to start a conversation or hours to spare, there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.
If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in touch with your child’s class teacher/myself, or our Designated Safeguarding Leads: Mrs Moody, Mr Rotherham, Mr Moody or Mrs Green.
Kind regards,
Mr Butler
Computing Coordinator
