Children are expected to complete work in home learning books provided before the Christmas break.  If anyone should require a new book please contact the school office and we will arrange for an alternative book to be placed in the drop box at the school gate.  Please encourage your child to keep their book tidy and present work to a high standard.

Take care of yourself!

Wellbeing support for parents

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.

NHS audio clips – https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/moodzone-mental-wellbeing-audio-guides/

We hope this will provide some support at home.

6S made Greek God fact files as part of History topic

6S spent a lot of time researching and creating their Greek God profiles and they look amazing. Well done 6S!

Here are some examples:

Y6 wellbeing day at Deer Park

What a great day it has been! We took photographs, sketched when it wasn’t raining, built dens, rummaged to find different insects and woodland features. We had some laughs on the rope swing and balancing ropes. Children in school had hot chocolate with marshmallows and biscuits. They completed mindfulness colouring and watched a film.

Well done to all the children for a wonderful day!

6S started remembrance work

In 6S today we started working on Remembrance. Our theme of the work is ‘Peace in Our Hands‘.
After making our poppy in hands pictures we wrote hopes for future peace.

Back to School Blues!

The children who come to NJS are amazing! They have shown that they are resilient and can adapt to different situations. There are some who do need some extra support and there are those who have anxieties returning to school after breaks. Please use the link to access helpful information to put measures in place before Monday morning arrives.

Positive Young Minds

As always we are looking forward to seeing the children for another half term!
