Dear families,
Voice in a million concert
We have reached the end of another productive, exciting and busy week at NNA!
Children in years 4,5 and 6 were thrilled to be taking part in a once in a lifetime opportunity performing at Wembley Arena.
Mr Dunn lead a thought provoking assembly on the topic of name calling. He shared personal
experiences to get the children thinking about the strength and
impact of the words they use with their friends. We encourage all families to continue this discussion and to
encourage their children to consider the words that they
use and the effect that it has on other people.
On Monday teachers were thinking outside of the box
and considering how best to promote
philosophical thinking in our children from FS1
upwards. Look
out for our ‘thunks’ around the school (a thunk is a question that makes you think and has no right or wrong answer). A thunk for your to consider is how do you define
a family?
Mrs Halliday and the choir have been working hard
for the past 3 months at developing their beautiful
voices and learning how to sing together as a group.
Harder than it sounds!
Yesterday saw the culmination of all this hard work
as the children shone amongst hundreds of other
schools from across England and Wales. Parents in
attendance were wowed by the level of professionalism displayed by the children and we are all so
excited for our next concert in July!
Clean air project
On Thursday 23rd March, our Eco Warriors will be sharing
the findings of their air pollution monitoring. They will be
handing out leaflets to raise awareness of this major issue
in our local community in the school office area. Please do
stop by to chat to them about this , pick up a leaflet and
support our campaign for cleaner air!
Design and Technology week
Next week is D&T week at NNA. The children will be
working on a variety of projects which will be shared
with families in the coming weeks.
Attendance Focus Week
Congratulations to Year 2 Garnet class for achieving
99.6% attendance this week!
Punctuality Matters too!
Missed minutes = missed learning = missed opportunities!
Being frequently late for school adds up to lost learning:

Arriving 5 minutes late every day adds up to over 3 days lost
each year.

Arriving 15 minutes late every day is the same as being
absent for 2 weeks a year.

Arriving 30 minutes late every day is the same as being
absent for 19 days a year.
