JOPS NEWSLETTER Newsletter 26th February — 9th March

Dear Parents/Carers, Sorry for the late newsletter, the beast from the east delayed lots of our events including the newsletter. Well it’s been a busy couple of weeks especially this week catching up on things that we had to postpone from the week before. There was a great turn out for World Book Day on Tuesday and today for the Y4 Roman Workshop. Well done on the creative efforts ranging from an umbrella jellyfish to multiple Gangster Grannies. A huge thank you to the JOPSPA for organising the Mother’s Day Sale this week. We hope you are pleased with your child’s selection on Sunday morning. Have a great weekend, a happy Mother’s day and we will see you again on Monday 12th March. Kind regards Mrs Durrant

Year 4 Roman Workshop

Today our Year 4 pupils took part in the Roman Workshop with another fantastic

visit from ‘History off the page’. The children took a trip back in time and had the

opportunity to take part in mosaic, pot and perfume making. The children put their

acting skills to the test in some role play learning about Roman life AND they had a

delicious feast of cheese and grapes.

Mother’s Day Sale

Thank you to our wonderful Parents Association who

have been working so hard wrapping presents for

Mother’s Day gifts to help raise funds for the school.

And thank you to all of the parents who sent their

children in with some money to purchase the gifts. Your children have enjoyed picking

your gifts for you and we hope you enjoy opening your presents this Sunday. We wish all

of your mums a lovely weekend!

JOPS NEWSLETTER Dr Bike on Wednesday 7th March

Dr Bike came in and held some bike maintenance courses for children in Years 3-5. All children are now able to check their bikes using the A,B,C,D,D check. See if they can remember what that stands for? Dr Bike also checked over the children bikes, made any repairs that were needed and advised the children of the ones they were unable to do due to not having the relevant spanners and BMX parts. The children thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and are now experts on how to check their bikes.
