NJS & BBS Visits to Newport Hub
As part of our on-going efforts to work closely together, children in Year 6 at NJS have been invited to attend sessions at Newport Hub alongside children from Yr 7 at BBS. This is a chance for the children to find out more information about what opportunities Newport Hub has to offer, as well and interacting with some children from Yr 7 at BBS.
NJS children will be walked down to the Hub by a member of the Yr 6 team who will remain with them for the full session. Children are then to either walk home (permission will be needed) or collected by a known adult.
The sessions will run from 3.30pm to 4.15pm.
Children will be coming home with a slip today which we ask you to return if you are interested in your child taking part. The dates for the sessions are outlined below. Children will be allocated a session based on the number of slips returned.
Tuesday 28th January
Tuesday 4th February
Tuesday 11th February
For more information about this, please speak to a member of the Yr 6 team!
Pet Day- Friday 24th January
Children will have brought home a letter last night outlining our exciting Pet Day on Friday 24th January. A copy of that letter is included here too.
It is a fab day, with the intention of learning all about how to care for our pets.
The reply slip is to be returned to the teacher outlining permission for your child to participate. (Any child who is anxious around animals will not be expected to be around those animals and will be safely away from pets when in class)
Teacher would like to hear about any pets that children have and that may be available to be brought in by yourself for a short, timed visit in school. Teachers will arrange this with you directly as they will be wanting to arrange a range of different pets across the day.
Sadly, not everyone will be able to bring a pet into school. We will be encouraging any child who wants to talk and share about their pet to bring in a photograph to share. There will be time in the day for everyone to talk about their own pet.
We are excited to say we are being visited by local vet, Mike Madden and also by Jelly Exotic Pets, who will be talking to the children during the day too.
Sounds like a fun day!!

Y6 Girls Cricket
We had a great day at an U13 Girls Cricket tournament. We came 5th out of 8 schools even though all the other schools were Secondary Schools. I am so proud of how the girls played and represented NJS, being the only primary school at the event.
