Dear Parents and Carers,

Online Safety Newsletter Primary January 2025_Newport PDF

Welcome to the first edition of the 2025 NJS Online Safety newsletter. This month’s edition is about the following topics:

• Online Influencers – who are they, what should I be concerned about?
• Fortnite Battle Royale – what it is, what I should be concerned about, parental controls.
• Age Ratings – for apps, games etc.
• Smartphone free childhood – a parent-led mission, aimed at protecting children from the dangers of smartphones.
• Digital differences between men and women – habits and attitudes.
• Twitter checklist – age ratings, privacy and security.

As always, if you need further information about any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Mrs Moody in the first instance.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Butler

The race, organised by Newport Running Club, alongside the 10k which takes place every 27th December, this year had 5 NJS runners (Seb and Phoebe in year 6, Avi, Connie & Byron in year 3 – all pictured below) with the 3 fastest runners from each school being counted for team placings.

Seb took individual 1st, Byron 5th, and Avi 8th, Phoebe 11th and Connie 13th.

They all did brilliantly in tough, cold and damp conditions! It was great to get an NJS team out this year – especially for NJS who took the team win!

Well done team – an excellent start to 2025! Lets hope for more competitors next year to retain our trophy!!

Well done to the children below who represent NJS in an Archery competition on Thursday 9th Jan. Along with Mr Humphries, these children travelled to Telford Tennis Centre to show case their skills with a bow and arrow! This performed exceptionally well, finish 3rd overall out of 19 schools! Mr Humphries was super impressed with their skills and talents! Well done guys!
