NJS WATERFORD 1100 RELAY MARATHON</div>
What a day!<br />
<div>
Today was a huge success for all our NJS children each of whom contributed at their own level and at their own pace to cover the amazing distance of 42.195 Km in 4.5 hours. We started at 9.14 a.m. in keeping with the history of our city - Waterford being the most historic and oldest city in the country.<br />
Sixth class led us off in our efforts and from there in all classes including participated until the full distance was covered at 13.44 p. m.<br />
A HUGE "Thank You " to the parents who came along to either cheer us on, run, supervise or man water stations, to the Lynch family who sponsored the water, to Clare O'Callaghan who coordinated the numbers and to Craig Johnson who captured the event in pictures.Both Clare and Craig are the Parent members on the Active Schools Committee.<br />
Pictures of the event will follow as soon as they come to the office!<br />
"NJS- Small enough to care, big enough to shine."<br />

Once again our Fun Running in the Park attracted a big attendance with approximately 30 children and 6 adults participating. We were down to serious business this week as our NJS Waterford 1100 Relay Marathon is almost upon us- Thursday June 26th.<br />
<br />
We had a visit from Joe Cawley from Waterford Viking Marathon on Friday last and we are looking forward to their support with our venture.<br />

On Friday last we also sent out information slips with a request for assistance by parents with the organisation of the Marathon. Please return these slips as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Our Committee has been very busy this week preparing and distributing the remaining information leaflets for the parents who are participating in our Rainbow Walking Programme. We estimate that we have approximately 30 families now improving their fitness levels by walking on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Our Wobbly World Cup has proved to be an enormous success on many levels - not least the mix of classes in each team. The Final takes place today Friday 20th June at 1pm between two very talented and enthusiastic teams Argentina and Costa Rica.<br />
We also have a "Water Safety Talk" today. This is a valuable and timely talk as we all head to the numerous fantastic beaches that dot the coast of Waterford.<br />
<br />
We also bring two of our school initiatives together today as the Green Schools Committee & Active Schools Flag Committee organise a "Walk for Water" at 11 a.m. in the People's Park. This gives us some idea what it is like for children in under-developed countries to have to carry water long distances from wells to their homes- a privilege we take for granted with water available to us at the turn of a tap.<br />

7 Reasons to Incorporate Movement, Songs, and Stories into Teaching</h3>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;">Several years ago Steve Reifman started reading about the results of recent brain research and its implications for student learning. The more books he read, the more his interest in this topic grew. Before long he came across a wide variety of recommended teaching practices, and eagerly incorporated them into his classroom instruction. Without fail, three types of effective, brain-friendly strategies consistently stood out as unusually engaging and powerful - those involving movement, songs, and stories.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;">Children simply reacted differently to lessons and activities that included elements of movement, songs, and stories. In fact, the entire classroom environment became transformed and the learning gains immediately evident. Because of his belief in the promise of movement, songs, and stories as learning catalysts, he began a quest to find, adapt, and create as many activities as possible that incorporated these elements. In this article he describes seven reasons why these types of activities have such a strong impact on both student learning and the classroom environment.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ol style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Forges an Emotional Connection</b><br />Educator Jeff Haebig explains that emotions drive attention and attention drives learning. Activities that include movement, songs, and stories resonate with children on an emotional level, engage them deeply, and enable them to make a personal connection with academic content. As a result, they pay closer attention and remember more. </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Builds Self-Esteem</b><br />Students who tend to experience difficulty with more traditional forms of learning usually find greater success with activities that incorporate movement, songs, and stories. With this greater success comes greater confidence and improved self-esteem. We, as teachers, can capitalize on these moments of success to create a carry-over effect to other parts of the school day.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b><br />Improves Team Bonding</b><br />Many kids are fortunate enough to experience the happiness and satisfaction that come from being a valued member of a successful team - playing Little League baseball, performing in a youth orchestra, or acting in a school play. Our classrooms can provide the same kind of bonding experience with the addition of activities that incorporate movement, songs, and stories. Students feel a greater sense of “connectedness” to the class and to one another.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Adds Novelty</b><br />As adults, we appreciate a clever turn of phrase on a billboard or a unique combination of ingredients on a restaurant menu. The same holds true with children and their classroom learning. Activities that include movement, songs, and stories score high on novelty value, and kids love it when their teachers present information in a way that is a bit out of the ordinary or off the wall.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Involves Multiple Learning Modalities</b><br />Typical paper-and-pencil schoolwork addresses only two of the “intelligences” popularized by Howard Gardner, the linguistic and logical-mathematical. Movement, songs, and stories also address these intelligences and bring into play the bodily-kinesthetic, musical, and spatial, among others. The more modalities we reach, the more successful students will be. We hit the “Teaching Grand Slam” when children participate in activities, such as “Place Value Jumping Jacks,” in which they see, say, hear, and move through the content at the same time.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Creates Memorable Experiences</b><br />Educator Dave Burgess says, “Lessons are quickly forgotten; experiences are remembered forever.” Infusing classroom activities with movement, songs, and stories turns potentially dry academic lessons into engaging, multi-modal experiences that kids will remember and talk about with their family and friends. For example, my students’ ability to locate ordered pairs on a coordinate grid increased dramatically when I stopped providing mere explanations and started taking the class on a “virtual field trip” to the local farmer’s market where they could walk through an actual grid and select fruits and vegetables of their own.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Increases Enthusiasm for Learning</b><br />In addition to all the other academic and social-emotional benefits I have described, these activities are an absolute blast. Playing active games, singing songs, and sharing stories puts smiles on children’s faces, enriches their days with excitement and joy, and helps make school a happy place for them. </li>
</ol>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.020000457763672px;">Teaching is a difficult, demanding job, and we need to find pleasure in our work to be at our best in the classroom. Movement, songs, and stories can really help our students learn, and what’s even better, we can all have fun along the way. These activities create situations where children are completely focused and well-behaved, work with purpose, and learn enthusiastically. I’m not sure how we can beat that.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The NJS Wobbly World Cup gets underway on Monday next June 9th with an eclectic mix of teams. Each team will have a mix of children from the various classes and matches will be run off over a two week period. Details are available on our Active Schools noticeboard. It will be a fun event which gives great opportunities for mentoring and interaction between all class groups with the main emphasis on participation and co-operation.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Congratulations to the boys and girls from Mrs Long's 6th Class on the wonderful performance they put on today in the Jack Kennedy Soccer tournament.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a fantastic team spirit it was no surprise that NJS went on to reach the Semi-Finals </span><span style="font-size: large;">of what was a tough competition.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Annual Swimming Gala also took place today and once again it was a great success. Well done to all the children who participated and a particular mention goes to the boys and girls who achieved recognition in the "Most Improved" category.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A Evening to Remember</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>On Wednesday evening May 21st, NJS hosted its inaugural "Dad's Soccer Match" and what an event it proved to be. We broadened our terms of reference to include some "fresher legs" in the form of brothers and uncles and with this eclectic mix of talent the stage was set for a show stopper. </b></div>

<b> Martin O'Neill was in town on the night and reports abound that some of the talent on show on the night will turn out for Ireland against Turkey later this week! </b><b>The match was the proverbial "game of two halves" with the Sky Blues soaring in the first half, however following a visit at half-time from Mister Frosty the Reds came charging onto the field in the second half with renewed energy. Pedro Roche's half-time "pep talk" bore fruit with a magnificent goal immediately after the re-start which left Bob </b><b style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Schmeichel Tweedy on the receiving ended of an unstoppable shot.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The game ended on a 2:1 scoreline but it's fair to say there were no losers in this game. Well done to all our "Heroes" who turned out on the night. NJS is proud of you all.</b></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Rainbow Walking Programme</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today was a "Red Letter Day" in Newtown Junior School. We were honoured to have the wonderful Kelly Proper with us to launch our own unique "Rainbow Walking Programme." This programme has been researched and devised by an expert in this field. A BIG "Thank you"therefore goes to the O'Callaghan family - Reuben, Leon and Freya who have recently joined us for this initiative and also to Mum, Claire who is a dynamic member of our Active Schools Flag Committee. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At this stage all families have received the Introduction Leaflet and Walker's Log Book, so come on everyone and sign up to our very own walking programme which will lead you to a healthier and fitter lifestyle. There are ten stages to the programme and each is contained in a leaflet which is self explanatory and easy to follow. Contact Mrs Ruane or any member of the ASF Committee for further details.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Johnnie Browne from Waterford United joined us today and what an amazing experience that was for all the girls and boys from Infants to 2nd Class. Waterford are delighted to be working with us and Johnnie will be back next week to work with the senior side of the school - 3rd class to 6th. The junior boys and girls had great fun in the sun today and learned lots of new skills. Roll on next Wednesday for more fun and games.</div>

Fun Running in the Park</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
Great news!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
Our numbers were up this week by 10! We had a fantastic turn out, with lots of "new faces"joinig for the first time. Hopefully we will continue in this positive manner. The sessions will continue until the end of June when we will have our NJS Marathon - all of 42Km. If you cannot come every week, don't worry just come along and join in the fun when you are free. It was wonderful to have 3 extra parents this week as I am acutely aware of ensuring that all our children are safe in the park.</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
Many thanks to Clare O'Callaghan, Fiona Johnson and Ben Nutty for their valued contribution.<br />

A great time was had by all.<br />
Come on Mums & Dads, you're seriously outnumbered and in order to succeed with our Active Schools Flag application we need parent participation.</td></tr>
