National Refugee Week 2022

Refugee Week is an annual festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees. This year’s theme is healing.

We All Have the Right to be Safe
We believe that everyone deserves a home and has the right to seek safety for themselves and their families.

Children at NJS will be marking this festival by watching some short films about young people who have taken refuge in Britain and the journey they went on to get here, completing some ‘healing’ activities together and by doing some art work inspired by the illustration below.

The illustration marking Refugee Week 2022 is by Nima Javan, a painter specialising in traditional Persian art and contemporary abstract art. Nima’s current work is inspired by ‘Persian miniatures’, using characters found in traditional paintings as well as his own creations. Originally from Quchan in North East Iran, Nima sought refuge in the UK in 2019.

Year 3 News

Dear parents and carers,

Swimming

Year 3 will be swimming on the first Tuesday of next term (the first day back!). Please ensure your child has their swimming kit. Thank you.

PE kits will also need bringing in/taking home at the start/ end of each week, especially as sports days are approaching.

Spellings

Due to timetabling issues, we did not get around to testing children on their half-termly spelling sets this week. Therefore, this will happen during the first week of the new term.

Lost cardigan

Please be on the lookout for a cardigan with Phoebe’s name in it. It is lost. If found, kindly return it to 3P.

We wish you all a restful half term break.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team

Urgent request – Year 3!

Dear Parents and Carers,

Children in Year 3 will be making collages of cityscapes, skylines, and buildings as part of their Art curriculum, this week.

Collage combines various pieces of paper, magazines, sometimes materials, card etc, to make a new picture of something else.

Therefore, please could children in Year 3 bring in some materials to make the collages? We do have materials and resources to use in school, but would be really great if they could bring in any old magazines, papers, etc that you have in the recycling bin!

Thank you for your continuing support.
