We would like to inform you about the arrangements for Sports Days, which are happening next week.
For Year 5 & 6 we will be holding a traditional Sports Day where the children will have picked their own individual events to represent their team house. Parents are welcome to come along, with a chair, to watch all the events before them. Each child will have 2 or 3 events to take part in.
For Years 3 & 4 we are running things a little differently. The children will be taking part in 8 events, moving as a group from activity to activity. Parents will be able to watch their child perform but will be moving around the school field on a rotational basis, please be prepared to move around the edge of the field following your child from station to station. At each rotation station the children will have the opportunity to compete for 1st 2nd or 3rd and then all results will be grouped together for an overall team winner.

Football Day!
What a day for NJS football! 5/6 boys, 3/4 girls and 5/6 girls all made it to the Telford Sports Partnership finals that were played at TCAT over the day.
Huge thanks to all at TWSSP for their organisation and TCAT for hosting. As always none of this is possible without the immense commitment of the staff; Mr Humphries and Mrs Wood especially today.

Year 3 Beeches Base Dates Summer 2
Dear Parents and Carers,
These are the up to date dates for Year 3 Beeches Base afternoons for Summer 2:
- 3PW – 18th June
- 3B – 3rd July
- 3L – 10th July
Sorry for any confusion caused but can’t wait to see the children enjoying their Beeches Bases afternoons!
As usual children will need to wear weather appropriate clothing that can get muddy and muddy wellies or boots in a bag for their afternoon. Sun cream/hat or rain coat and layers as appropriate to the weather – good old British summer!
if you have any questions please contact your child’s class teacher.
Many thanks for your support and understanding,
The Year 3 Team
Newport Carnival!
