Military Kids Club
Good Afternoon,
Military Kids Club will be taking place in 4N (in the Victorian Block) from 3:15pm tomorrow (6th October). It is open to all children whose parents/carers are currently serving in the Armed Forces or who are Service Veterans.
The aim of the club is to provide wellbeing support and nurture, along with completing fun activities as a group of children who have something in common. Some of the activities we have done previously include, learning the phonetic alphabet, visiting Beech’s Base, Remembrance Day/Armed Forces Day activities and playing games!
I hope to see you tomorrow 🙂

Celebrating World Mental Health Day – 10.10.23
Good afternoon everyone,
I am writing a message to let you know that we will be taking part in #HelloYellow on Tuesday 10th October 2023! This is all in support of World Mental Health Day!
We can all struggle with how we’re feeling, but sometimes things get tough and it can be difficult to cope. For so many young people, when this happens, they don’t get the help they need, when they need it. By taking part in #HelloYellow we are supporting mental health and showing young people that we are with them! We want the children to know that our physical health matters but so does our mental health.
Many other schools will be joining in with the #HellowYellow campaign! We are asking the children to wear one yellow item of clothing on TUESDAY 10TH OCTOBER! We will be wearing yellow to raise awareness for mental health and to show children that they matter. Just to clarify, children can swap one item of school uniform for one item of yellow clothing.
The children will be completing a range of activities during the school week within class. We look forward to sharing some of the things we get up to on the school website.
Take care,
Mrs Ollerenshaw
5M Geography
We are loving our Eastern Europe topic currently in Geography and the children are working flat out. Today, we studied the causes of the Chernobyl Disaster and looked at the after effects. I was really impressed by both the geographical vocabulary that the children used and their maturity when discussing the delicate subject matter.
Yr 6 Wrekin College Maths Challenge
A huge congratulations to our Yr 6 mathematicians who represented NJS at the Wrekin College Maths Challenge on Friday. An incredible 55 teams entered and we are delighted that NJS finished in 6th place, and as the 4th highest school overall. A remarkable achievement by these children who should feel very proud of their efforts.
5M Forest School Date Change
Due to the expected number of children from 5M going to the Cross Country event on Tuesday 10th October, 5M’s Forest School Afternoon has been rescheduled to Friday 13th October that week to ensure that all children in the class can take part in Forest School.
5M European Day of Languages
This afternoon, we were lucky enough to have a presentation all about Finland for European Day of Languages presented to us by Theo. He had clearly spent a lot of time and effort putting it together and it was a privilege to present it to the other children for him. We learnt about Finnish food, Finnish schooling and the Northern Lights. We are going to focus a little bit more on the Northern Lights on Friday and produce some artwork to go with it!
European Day of Languages!
5P have had a brilliant time learning all about Greece for European Day of Languages.
We discovered how to say ‘My name is…’ and ‘How are you’ in Greek, enjoyed sampling some classic Greek food and had a go at some Greek style dancing.
