This week, Year 6 had a fantastic trip to Shrewsbury Prison where they learned how crime and punishment has changed over the years. They even experienced what it was like to be shut in the cells! We have also had lots of fantastic sporting achievements over the past in basketball, football and hockey! The behaviour of our Newdale pupils when representing our school at sports events makes us all incredibly proud!
BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week:
After being nominated for two weeks in a row, Year 5 have been awarded the BeSMART cup for outstanding behaviour on their trip to Harry Potter world and for the quality and presentation of their Harry Potter leaflets. They are showing growing accuracy in using relative clauses and language for effect. Their recent Harry Potter trip must have been the inspiration they needed!
