27.9.21 Forgotten kit

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We know it is early days and that children and parents are trying to get used to the new timetables.

 

Please could you double check on your child’s class website page, so that you are sure as to the correct kit needed on the correct day.

 

This would really help the office team, as they do seem to be spending a lot of time dropping off kit to differing classes at the moment.

 

Many thanks,

 

Miss Cook

Headteacher

E-Safety Top Tip – watching videos

Children love to watch videos and YouTube is always a firm favourite! But sometimes children can be exposed to videos that are not meant for them. YouTube Kids is a safer way for children to explore their interests. You can find more information about this on YouTube: what parents need to know .

Remember, primary-age children should be supervised at all times when online.

If you need more support or guidance with online safety please contact a staff member or send us an email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

Wonderful Wednesday

On Wednesday 29th September the mighty oaks nursery children will begin to use the forest areas. Half of the children go to the woods in the morning and the other half go in the afternoon. The children who remain in nursery will be having great fun cooking. When it’s your child’s turn to go to the woods the will need to bring in wellies (with their name written in them). Please ensure your child has clothes on that you are happy for them to get a bit muddy. We will provide waterproofs.

Until half term, for the next few weeks, the following children will be going to the woods:

In the morning orange, blue and purple group. That is Miss Preston’s, Mrs Curnow’s and Mrs Ferriday’s groups.

In the afternoon yellow, red and green group. That is Mrs Turner’s, Mrs Giordano’s and Mrs Hall’s group.

If you are unsure which group your child is in please just ask at the gate.

Oakengates Gurdwara

We have had the most wonderful morning at the Oakengates Gurdwara. In class we have been learning about the Sikh place of worship.

Update 21.9.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I hope you are enjoying this late in the season sunshine. I know the children are loving being outside and many are making great use of our new sports facilities!

 

In comparison to many schools we are coping well, by way of the number of positive cases we have. That said, we are definitely seeing an increase.

 

It is so important that you do not send your children into school if they are displaying any symptoms, including any of the precautionary symptoms listed by Telford and Wrekin Council. (Please see the following link Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Telford & Wrekin Council ) You need to keep them at home and get them PCR tested before risking a spread of the infection in school please.

 

If your child tests positive you need to make sure you inform the school as we also have to inform the health hub.  This is so that we can plan what actions to take in school.

 

We really do need to work together on this to prevent us having to reintroduce some of the more rigid procedures again.

 

Kind regards and fingers crossed,

 

 

Splat Circus

Today we were very lucky to have a Splat circus session. We took part in lots of balancing activities and had great fun.

E-Safety Top Tip – Sharing pictures

Using devices like phones and tablets to share pictures and videos can be a great way for children to have fun and stay in touch with friends and family.   It’s really important your child knows what’s ok to share online and what they should check with you first.

What are the risks?

● Once an image has been shared, you can never be sure who has seen it, saved it or shared it.

● Personal or embarrassing pictures in the wrong hands can lead to bullying.

● Knowing that others have seen embarrassing images can cause stress and anxiety, and affect a child’s confidence and self-esteem.

● Unwanted pictures online could affect educational and job opportunities later in life.

● Sharing images, particularly sexualised images, can increase the likelihood of a child receiving inappropriate sexual contact from strangers online.

To reduce these risks it is important for you to talk to your child.  Ensure that they know the rules around sharing pictures.
