End of Year message from Miss Cook
Dear Parents/Carers,
Wow, what a busy final half term. With children performing so brilliantly during their SAT tests and achieving our ‘outstanding’ Ofsted result being just a few of the highlights. Lots of people have asked me about what it is that makes this school so special and I always reply with the same response – the teams at Newdale are amazing. The teams of children, parents, Governors, office staff, cleaners, lunchtime supervisors, breakfast club staff, afterschool club staff, teaching assistants, teachers, site staff… everyone plays their part and is committed in ensuring what we do here is the best for your children.
It was really exciting to welcome Jeremy Corbyn into school yesterday. We feel it very important to teach our children about the Government/Parliament, about how our country is managed, democracy and freedom of speech. As you know we organise an annual trip to Parliament each year for our Year 5 children and to have another key figure in Parliament visit the school, we know ignited real interest and brought the curriculum to life for the children. As we stipulated earlier, we are not politically biased, we ensured that the visit was about our school, our children and our ethos.
We say a sad goodbye to our Year 6 cohort today and wish them the very best of luck as they move on to secondary school. We also say a good bye and a huge thank you to Mrs Francis who is moving on to a new teaching position, Mrs Sturrock who is leaving to have her baby, Mrs Davies who has worked so hard in Reception, Miss Jones who has supported Year 4 and Mr Ward who is moving on to support in a different school. We welcome back to school, Miss Hailey and Mrs Stopps. We also welcome new teachers Mr Banfield and Miss Clay. They will be a real asset to our teaching team and we look forward to working with them.
The first day back for children is Monday 4th September and we look forward to seeing you then.
I hope you all have a relaxing holiday and hope the weather stays kind for us all.
Regards
Miss Cook
Headteacher

Jeremy Corbyn’s Visit
Please note that there is likely to be some publicity surrounding Jeremy Corbyn’s visit tomorrow. All children will be involved in this event, apart from those who do not have permission to be filmed or photographed. If you would like to discuss this with your child’s class teacher, please see them tomorrow morning before school. Regards
A lesson in Politics for Year 4
Due to our exciting political leader arriving tomorrow, we have had a lesson in politics this morning. We chose our leaders and team members.Then we selected a name, colour and manifesto for our parties. Next, we completed a speech based on our promises.The children then voted for the party they believed in. We used voting papers and a ballot box to cast our votes.
Toy Car Donations
We are currently in need of toy cars for the children to play with at lunchtime. If you would like to donate any that you no longer use or have at home, please bring them into the school office. Thank you in advance
