  • Bistro Buddies!

    Published 21/10/24

    BISTRO BUDDIES As part of our school improvement plan, we are on a mission to improve the lunchtime experience for all pupils here at AJS. As part of this mission, we have introduced a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils called the ‘Bistro Buddies’. Bistro Buddies have been fundamental in helping fellow pupils get to grips with our new lunch time wristband system, whereby any pupil entering the dinner hall for a school dinner wears a coloured wrist band to indicate their dinner menu choice for that day. Not only this, but the Buddies have relished the opportunity to assist younger pupils with their cutlery as well as their conversation – encouraging lunch time chat amongst peers is one of their key objectives. A huge thanks goes out to these pupils for taking on their new role with such enthusiasm. They are certainly doing a fine job so far! Bon Appetit!

    Sports Ambassador Training

    On Friday 4th October six sports ambassadors, Amelia M, Mila M, Caitlin D, Jonah E, Isaac M and Oliver W attended a training session hosted by New Road Primary School. The session started with an ice breaker task which involved the children finding out something about a partner from another school. The children then thought about what their role as a sports ambassador should look like and what jobs they might take on back at school. They also talked about taking on the role of playground leader and how it could be set up within their school setting. After a short break the children then took part in a practical session learning and teaching the rest of the group a playground game of their choice. The morning finished with the children eating their lunch together. The ideas they have come up with will now be developed in school.
