Rocksteady Concert!

Thank you to Rocksteady for their ongoing work with music at NJS. We thoroughly enjoyed the concert this week: well done to all of the children who took part.

Harry Potter books

Dear parents and carers,

The year 6 team are excited to teach a writing unit in January using the book ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. We would LOVE to receive any donations of unwanted books please!

If you could spare an unwanted copy from home, please could we ask you to leave it in the school office?

Thank you so much.

The year 6 team.

Compassion at Christmas

We were really touched to hear about the actions of Ella in Year 6. She baked some cakes for the team at Donnington Ambulance Station. This is something her great grandmother used to do and Ella wanted to ensure she carried on the tradition. What a super way to make a difference Ella, we are proud of you.
