4NJ

Hi 4NJ

We are thinking of you all, we are gutted you are in isolation again and all of the NJS family send you our very best wishes.

You should have received a Parent Mail from me with an invite to a Teams Meeting on Monday morning at 9.30am.  If you haven’t received this please email nicola.moody@taw.org.uk with your child’s name and I will send the link to you.

The email also explains that we will place exercise books in the drop box before 8.30am on Monday morning should you wish to collect one for your child to use whilst at home.  We will also, on a daily basis, place copies of the learning activities in there if this helps you.

If you have any issues with access to a device for accessing Teams Meetings or the learning please email nicola.moody@taw.org.uk

Take care everyone

Mrs M

4J Costumes!

If all costumes could be in by Friday (4th December) so they can quarantine over the weekend, we would really appreciate it.

Some children have come home with permission letters (photos, website etc). Unfortunately, if we do not have these back, they will not be allowed on the video for the Christmas performance.

Many thanks,

Miss Jones 🙂

4NJ ‘Twas the night before Christmas,’ Songs and Lyrics

Dear parents and guardians,

As part of our class Christmas production this year, 4NJ will be performing ‘Twas the night before Christmas.’ For their homework, I would like them to learn the songs and lyrics. I will attach a lyric sheet with three of the songs and some links to each of the songs they will need to learn. If you right click on the link for each of the songs, it will take you to the correct song on YouTube. Tomorrow, the children will bring home their lyric sheets for each of the songs so they can practise everyday.

Kindest regards Mrs Jukes 🙂

Christmas Play 4J Preparations!

Next week we will be recording our Christmas performance for you to enjoy! We will not be doing the ‘traditional’ costumes due to a time crunch. Below, you will find a list of costumes for the children. Your children should know which they will need.

The Little Match Girl (And Dream Version) – Pyjamas and slippers

Narrators – Christmas Jumper

Angel – All White

Shoppers/Singers/Children – Christmas Jumpers (They could bring hat, gloves, scarf etc for one part).

Family – Smart clothes (We discussed dresses or a shirt etc).

Please do not feel that you have to buy an outfit just for the play. We will be happy to suggest an alternative should you need one… e-mail myself on Eloise.jones@taw.org.uk

We can’t wait for you to see what we have created!

4J Songs

Hello 4J!

As we are limited in time for singing, please find the links below to the songs 4J will be singing during the Christmas performance. The children all requested that these go on the website so I apologise in advance for any songs that may become stuck in your heads!

Take care,

Miss Jones x

Year 4….

Dear Year 4 Parents and Carers,

Firstly can I thank you all for your support during this period of isolation for the Year 4 staff and children: we are incredibly grateful to you for working with us in these tricky circumstances.

We really hope that we have supported you during this period: we have tried to ensure we support staff with ill health and personal circumstances alongside ensuring that the curriculum continues to progress for the children.  We aimed to achieve a blend of online and independent learning with a priority on pupil wellbeing and maintaining relationships.

If you feel able please can you complete the attached survey with any feedback for us.  We clearly hope to avoid further bubble closure at NJS but should this be necessary we will be able to use this feedback to review our approach.  We would be grateful if you would not mention staff or pupil names:

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BJDF7TG

The Year 4 bubble will reopen on Friday and we are really looking forward to welcoming the children back into school on this date (20th November).

Please take some time to talk to your child about the return: reassure them that it is safe, that staff and friends are excited to see them and about the routines for attending school.

Your child should NOT return to school if they, or a member of the household, are symptomatic (cough, high temperature or loss of taste or smell).  Please notify school of the situation (01952 386600) and book a test online.  If the test result is negative your child will of course be able to return.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

Mrs M
