Newport Town Council Christmas Card Competition

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Newport town council are holding their annual children’s Christmas card competition. There are wonderful prizes to be won and the overall winner will be invited to turn on Newport’s Christmas lights!

We are inviting all children to take part and feel free to make a design over the half term holiday. You can paint, draw or colour to produce a wonderful creation. We would love to encourage your child to enter.

The competition rules state that the card should be A5 folded in half, no bigger than 10.5cm by 15cm. Please clearly print the following information on the back of the card:

  1. Name
  2. Age
  3. Home Address
  4. School Year Group
  5. School Name

Please can all cards be sent to all class teachers no later than 9am on Thursday 6th of November as we will need to sort all designs and prepare to hand them into the Guild Hall before the closing date on Friday 7th November. Any queries please e-mail Mrs Jukes on natalie.jukes.taw.org.uk.

Much appreciated and good luck children.

Best wishes Mrs Jukes

Computing in 3M

Today 3M have worked extremely hard in ICT.

The learning objective was: ‘How am I connected?’

They explained what the word ” connection” means and identified their own personal network.

They then became their own computer network by sending written messages to their classmates without leaving their chairs.

As well, as identifying what the word ” switch” is related to.

Well done 3M!  Mrs Jones

Year 3 Trip Reminder Wednesday 5th November

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please ensure that you have logged onto ParentPay to give permission for your child to go on our visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, which is in the first week back after half term, all day, on Wednesday 5th November. More information about the day will be released nearer the time.
If children are in receipt of free school meals, one will be provided for your child on that day. We will organise this later in the week.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 team.

3P Deer Park

3P had a wonderful time at the Deer Park on Tuesday 14th October.

My group were lucky enough to see a herd of deer! We also measured around the outside of a tree in order to work out how old it was. Lucy was spot on with 500 years old! Well done Lucy.

The whole of 3P were amazing and did NJS proud!

 

 

Class 3P Beech’s Base this Friday 17th October (PM)

Dear Parents and Carers of 3P,

Just to let you know that 3P have our first Beech’s Base session in school, on Friday 17th October this week, all afternoon. Mr Butler sends his apologies this was not mentioned on the last weekly diary post on Friday last week.  There will be some curriculum-based activities and some exploratory/enrichment ones, in the woodland environment at the bottom of NJS school field.

Please ensure you send your child in wearing clothing that is weather-appropriate / waterproof coats etc, which will keep them warm and dry, i.e.: clothing fairly similar to their Chetwynd Deer Park clothing, wearing a pair of normal trainers for the inside, and their wellies in a bag for the afternoon. The afternoon will go ahead in all weathers, unless it is torrential / dangerous.

They will need clothing that they don’t mind getting muddy, as it can be boggy down there. Wellies ARE advised – trainers / walking boots may get heavily soiled by the mud. Several children have, in the past, worn their new white trainers – suffice to say, they weren’t ‘white’ ever again! Long sleeves and trouser legs are a requirement, as they may encounter nettles and thorns. Some children occasionally do wear waterproof over-trousers if they have them – its up to you.

As always, if you need to, please ask questions of us on the yard first thing/ straight after school, or you can email directly.

Kind regards,

Mrs Porteous
