Celebration Assembly

Every Thursday afternoon we hold a whole school celebration assembly to reward children for success during the past week.

We are looking to encourage our children to develop excellent handwriting. This half term we will be awarding weekly prizes for Hand Writer of the Week from each class.

We will also acknowledge other successes in school through Head Teacher Awards. If your child receives a Head Teachers Award they are welcome to join Mrs Moody on the ‘Top Table’ on a Monday lunchtime. Supervisors will blow the whistle and call the top table in first. They have lunch as usual; hot dinners or packed lunch but they sit together on a table with Mrs Moody to celebrate their success. If a child does not want to attend the Top Table that is fine, if your child is absent on their Top Table day they are welcome to join us the following week.

In a celebration assembly we will announce the House Team who have achieved the most House Points that week. Over the term the team with the most House Points will earn a free mufti day in January to celebrate their success! Good luck everyone.

TACT musical theatre auditions

The Arts Centre Telford assisted in the running of NJS Music Day last year and are supporting our new school music programme. They have sent this invitation to all pupils who might be interested in being involved in an upcoming musical theatre production. It is a super opportunity!

Online Safeguarding Alert

We have received information from Public Health regarding a potentially sinister APP called Doki Doki,

They state:

‘We have been advised that there is a new APP that is going viral among many (primary and secondary) school age pupils. The APP is called DOKI DOKI (literature club).

The game is advertised as a school dating app and does not require parental checks to download. It is a free APP and although users should be 13+ years children can easily agree to being over the age. Once downloaded, children have ready access to their own account.

The APP begins as a colourful and light-hearted game but takes a sinister turn within an hour of children playing where their online friend starts to talk about depression and eventually commits suicide.

The NSPCC Online Safety team are aware of the APP’s existence.’

We hope that sharing this information with you will help you to keep your child safe online.
