Maths task 5.01.21

Hello Year 1,

Myself and Miss McCullagh are in school today planning fun activities for the rest of the week for you.

So to keep you busy I have set you a little Mathematics task.

Before Christmas we were learning about subtraction and we had started to subtract mentally.

Today could you have a go at the following ICT games and solve the subtraction sentences mentally by counting backwards.

In class we have been doing this by putting the largest number in our head, getting the correct number of fingers up that we are taking away and counting back on them.

Enjoy and remember if you have any questions or need some support please don’t hesitate to email the year 1 email address and a member of the year 1 team will respond as soon as we can.

newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk

Have a lovely day.

Miss Broadhurst.

 

Year 2 Home Learning Spring 1

Hello Year 2!

So it looks like we will be doing our learning from home again for a while but the good news is that we are already experts at this and you all did an amazing job last time! 😊

In Year 2, we will be continuing to use the website and Teams for home schooling.  We will also still be available on the email address newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk if you or your parents need to get in contact with us.

There will not be any live lessons today, as we are busy in school preparing for other work that we will be doing later this week.  However the Year 2 Team will be online at 11am to say hello to you all and for a quick catch up.  It would be great to see as many of you there as possible.  As before, you should receive an invite to this session however if not then you can ‘join’ the meeting through the Teams app.

To keep you busy before and after this meeting, we have set a few pieces of work for you to be doing.

Spellings

The spelling rule for this week is the ‘le ending’.  Your spellings can be found here

le ending spellings.

Please practise writing them out and you could even try putting them into sentences.  ✍️

PE

Usually we would have gymnastics on a Tuesday morning so you can choose which PE activity you would like to do for today.  You could do this Joe Wicks workout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LPrhI0v-w or Cosmic kids yoga ‘Popcorn and the pirate’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_0P5grVoyg

Optional extension activity – can you research and then create a poster about a famous gymnast? You could choose Max Whitlock, Beth Tweddle or Simone Biles.

New Year Task

Can you answer the questions in these balloons? You could even have a go at drawing the balloons and stars yourself.

From Wednesday live lessons will take place each day, one at 9.30am and the other at 11am.  If you are unable to attend the live sessions, a recording of the lesson will always be available afterwards.  Worksheets and any further instructions will be shared via the website.

We are hoping that our online learning for the next couple of weeks will run the same way that it did during our lockdown in December.

If you have any questions please email us on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

Many thanks,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones 😊 😊

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We would firstly like to thank you for all of the support we have had over this tricky period. It has not been easy and despite our best efforts, we have had to deal with a very small number of cases in school this term. Our number of cases is relatively few in comparison to many other schools and we know that our partnership working with you, the Health Protection Hub, the Local Authority along with our strict procedures have helped to keep this figure so low.

 

Should your child(ren) develop symptoms or have a positive test on either Friday 18th, Saturday 19th or Sunday 20th December then you MUST let us know. Could you please do this by using the following email address newdale.primary@taw.org.uk, this will be monitored over that period by two members of staff who remain on call or alternatively calling the school office on 01952 387720.  The school number will be diverted until 6.00pm on 24th December.  Please only call this number to report symptoms or a positive test and not for general enquiries.

 

If your child(ren) develops symptoms or tests positive outside of this time period (Monday 21st December onwards) then please use the NHS Track and Trace system and you do not need to let us know, unless they are continuing to self-isolate once we return on 5th  January. This is because it will have been longer than 48 hours since they were in school and will therefore, not affect any other staff or students. Please note as of Monday 14th December, the isolation period is only 10 days.

 

Thank you for your continued support with this and I sincerely hope it will not be needed for any family over the festive period. I hope you all have a well-earned rest and have the opportunity to spend it with loved ones.

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of the staff at Newdale primary School and Nursery. We look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 5th January 2021.

 

Miss Cook

If you have not applied for free school meals and your child receives them under the universal Free School Meal offer, where by all reception and year one students get a hot meal each day, you will need to head to www.telford.gov.uk/FSM and make an online application. Eligibility can be checked and if you qualify they will be notified and can issue the voucher.

Christmas singing

The nursery are filming our Christmas songs on Wednesday (no forest school this week) to put on the website for you to enjoy.  We will be wearing special festive hats but in addition to this you are very welcome to send your child in with Christmassy clothes.  Please don’t worry if they don’t have any as we’ll look festive in our hats without them.
If you have previously said that your child cannot be on the website or Facebook but would like to change this permission please let us know so that your child can appear in the video.

Thanks for your support at this festive time🎄
