5H have created a fantastic class website in ICT this week called The 5H Amazing Pet Bazar. Here is the link – enjoy!

We are always striving to support our families as best we can. The NHS have prepared some audio clips that can be used as wellbeing/emotional support for children and adults who are struggling to deal with a range of issues.

You may have children who are experiencing school closures due to bubbles closing, ill health or experiencing anxiety, these clips are designed to support calming down strategies.

We hope this will provide some support at home.

There are several year 5 children who have lost items of uniform or coats. All items found un-named in the year 5 area or left on the playground after break/lunch are put into the year 5 lost property box, which is outside the year 5 toilets in our block. A couple of children have lost jumpers which aren’t in lost property, but there are many, many jumpers there! Please can all year 5s check their uniform at home this weekend and return any that they may have accidentally taken home. If you’re missing any, please remind your children to look at the lost property box next week. If uniform is un-named, it is virtually impossible to return them to the right children so PLEASE name all your child’s stuff!

Many thanks and have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 Team

Dear 5H Parents and Carers,

Firstly can I thank you all for your support during this period of isolation for the 5H 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:

5H will reopen on Monday and we are really looking forward to welcoming the children back into school on this date (23rd 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
