Cool Cat Causes a Stir on Careers Day!

Well, it wasn’t just staff and pupils who enjoyed our exciting Careers Day. Cool Cat couldn’t resist popping in too!

True to form, she got up to a spot of mischief while exploring the day’s activities. Luckily, help was on hand! With the police in attendance and PC Peeler, the police dog mascot close by, Cool Cat was gently guided back onto the right track and reminded about making good choices.

Careers Day 2025 Video

On Friday, Newdale Primary School held a fantastic whole school Careers Day, and what an inspiring day it was! We were incredibly lucky to welcome a wide range of volunteers from many different professions who gave up their time to talk to the children, provide exciting activities to take part in, and share their passion for their careers. The school was buzzing with excitement as pupils explored the endless possibilities for their futures.

A huge thank you goes out to all our wonderful volunteers who helped make Careers Day such a huge success. Staff and pupils alike had an amazing time, and the children left feeling inspired, motivated, and excited about all the possibilities their futures could hold. It truly was a day to remember!

Here’s who came to visit…

Paramedic Team – who gave students the chance to try on real paramedic gear and explore life-saving equipment.

Local Police officers– who brought a real police van, police car, equipment, goody bags and introduced PC Peeler, the police dog mascot.

Farmer Mark – who showed off his impressive blue tractor and a variety of fresh vegetables, giving pupils insight into life on the farm.

World Book Day in Mrs Sturrock’s Class

What a fantastic day we have all had today celebrating World Book Day!

We have taken part in lots of exciting activities including a costume parade, a reading quiz, masked reader contest, book scavenger hunt, sketching activities to be like a real illustrator and lots of story times where we read some really funny books. We went to base camp and enjoyed a delicious cookie, while Mrs Sturrock read us a story about a crocodile, who at the end of our story, jumped out of the book and ran away! We used our imagination to find clues in our base camp area to find where the crocodile went next once he’d jumped out of the book. There were some great ideas.

The story boxes that were sent in with the children were super. The children enjoyed sharing them with the class.

Take a look at some of our photos from the day including photos of our amazing costumes too!

We hope you have enjoyed looking at our pictures. We are looking forward to next year’s World Book Day already! 😊

The Polar Express

Year One all had a fantastic time on the Polar Express. We did lots of exciting things! We went on a big coach, had a snowball fight, went to look at the engine on the steam train, travelled on the Polar Express, listened to a story, ate cookies, drank hot chocolate, danced, sang and had a visit from SANTA! It was all great fun.

Take a look at some of our pictures from the day.
