On Monday 8th September class teachers will host information meetings 3.30-4pm and 4pm-4.30pm.

This is an opportunity for you to come into your child’s classroom, meet your child’s teacher and listen to a short presentation giving you an overview of the year and useful information.

If you are unable to attend information will be shared following the meetings via the newsletter.

We are fortunate to have a wonderful outdoor learning area at NJS which we call Beech’s Base.  Once a half term (approximately!) each class will have an afternoon of outdoor learning in Beech’s Base.  On this day the children come to school in their ‘Beech’s Base clothes’ which should include long sleeves and long trousers, sturdy outdoor shoes (ideally wellies) and waterproofs.

Dates this term:

September-October Half Term: Years 5 and 6 will be swimming.

Year 5: Monday

Year 6: Tuesday

Years 3 and 4 will swim between October half term and Christmas.

When your child is swimming they need to bring: swimming costume/trunks, towel, swimming cap and goggles.

We kindly ask for the safety and wellbeing of our children that parents and carers do not use mobile phones on school site.

We also ask that dogs do not come on to school site.
