Islamophobia Awareness Month – Assembly

Today, the children in Yr 3, 4 & 6 took part in an assembly looking at Islamophobia Awareness Month.

We discussed what Islamophobia is, the impact it has on individuals and what we, as members of NJS, can do to make a difference. The theme for this year is ‘Seeds of change’ and reflects on how we can all make a small difference by taking action.

At NJS, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive, welcoming and loving environment and this was discussed with the children including how we could all make a difference to the world around us.

Reminder to all children for Tamworth Castle

Reminder that children will need to bring a packed lunch, coat and water bottle tomorrow. They will need to be in uniform and comfortable shoes.

If your child suffers with travel sickness, can they take the tablet before? If they need one tablet for journey back, can they bring it with them?

Year 4 Christmas Performance Play Scripts

Dear Parents and Carers,

Most of the children will have come with a play script today. We would really appreciate if you could support your children to learn their lines – this can replace your daily reads and can be recorded in your reading records!

There are a handful of children who did not have a playscript this afternoon. They have not been forgotten and will receive their scripts tomorrow!

The children have also had a hand in picking their parts. We wanted to ensure everyone would feel happy and confident with what they were performing.

A costumes list will be provided by Wednesday 27th so you have time to organise costumes.

If you have questions or queries please contact your child’s class teacher.

Many thanks,

The Year 4 Team

3M – True Compassion Shown…

Connie spent last Saturday (16th) raising money for the Christie hospital cancer centre, by setting up her own stall! This was all her own doing and her own idea so everyone was very impressed. She was outside selling all day!  She did this because the Christie is where Connie’s nanny has recently been treated. What a lovely thing to do Connie – showing true compassion to a team who have cared so, so much for someone you love! She is brilliant and has raised nearly £150!

If you wish to support Connie further, she also has a just giving page, so please donate if you can!! https://www.justgiving.com/page/richard-matheson-1731762796313
