Apologies for any confusion but due to limited office staff, collection hours for home learning packs are 8:00am till 10:00am Monday to Friday. From Monday 25th January we hope to move solely to online learning via Google Classrooms in Year 4. Completing work via Google Classrooms will allow teachers to give regular feedback and monitor children's work. However, if you are struggling technology wise please get in touch via the class email addresses and we can assist you. We will try our best to supply laptops to those who need one. Where possible, paper packs will no longer be routinely available to children who can access online learning from Monday 25th January.

All the best,

Miss Armitage

Hello 4BW! I just want you know how much Miss Armitage and Miss Mohiuddin miss you! We can't wait to see you in the week's to come. Please can all parents/guardians of key worker children insure that they bring wellies to school as we are planning on using the Wild Area often. Furthermore, please can all children who are accessing online learning make sure they login to Google Classroom today following the login email and password in their NJS School Planner- If you have any problems please email the office and I will send you your child's details. It is important that children who are using an electronical device to access their work login and accept Google Classrooms today. Work will be added including the date it was set and a due date.

We are in the process of creating home learning-packs for children who cannot access online learning. These will be delivered promptly by school staff.
