We recommend that where children have access to social media apps that parents/carers regularly check the content of messages exchanged and who with to ensure their child is safe.
Please can we ask Year 6 parents/carers to check their child’s Whats App groups that you are aware of the content of what your child is saying to others and who they are communicating with.
Please can we remind you about guidance on Whats App:
As part of our ‘dance’ topic, during PE, we have been looking at some New Zealand Hakas. We learnt some of the moves and how the moves are repeated in beats of 2 or 4. We then tried to create our own in groups of 5. Well done class 6B.
Due by Wednesday 22nd November
If you would like to help with homework, here is a useful link to explain how to find common denominators when comparing fractions: https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/common-denominator.html
As always, we expect homework to be completed to a high standard of presentation.
This week, 6B have started their new art topic of ‘Landscapes’. We began by looking at the painting ‘The Flora of the Heath’ by Paul Klee. We created our own painting, using poster paint, using Paul Klee’s as inspiration.
Well done 6B.
Anti-Bullying Week 2023 is coordinated in England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. This year it has the theme ‘Make A Noise About Bullying’ and will take place from Monday 13th to Friday 17th November.
At NJS, the children are all completing different tasks in class around the theme of bullying. We want to be a ‘bully buster’ at NJS! What is Bully Buster? Well, a bully buster at NJS is someone who takes action when bullying is happening; someone who helps those around them and someone who speaks up! All children have designed a ‘bully buster’ badge and had in depth discussions on what they included and why.
Alongside the tasks in class, the whole school attended an assembly where Wellbeing Mentors from BBS came along. The children from Burton Borough were fantastic and shared some key messages with the children. What bullying is? What to do if they are being bullied? And many more.
Here is the presentation that BBS delivered:

Dear parent/carer,
As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online on TTRS.
Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.
To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.
In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans.
In Military Kids Club today, we had an introduction to orienteering. 9 flags were placed around the school grounds and children had to stamp their cards with 9 different patterns. We will build on this during the coming months with the aim of being able to read a map and use a compass accurately!
Next week, we will be going to Beech’s Base to complete some team building activities and make s’mores. Please can your child bring a spare set of clothing or at the very least, a pair of wellies.
Our Y6 team won at Ladygrove this afternoon 6-1 to send us through to the next round where we will definitely be at home. The boys all put in an excellent performance on a tough, muddy pitch!
Yr 6 have been looking at the poem 'Dulce et decorum est' by our local hero #WilfredOwen this week. Today the children were analysing the language used and making inferences as to what Wilfred Owen was trying to show about the war!

Our Y6 (&1 Y5) after their football tournament. The boys played excellently in a very competitive tournament alongside 5 other schools. We finished a very pleasing second, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. A top afternoon.
