More builders at work

The children have now been challenged to build houses for animals too. Can you find any duplo, old boxes and toy animals or teddies to build homes for?

Virtual Harvest 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,

Normally at this time of year, the classes are usually putting together wonderful work and practicing songs to share with you during our Harvest celebrations.

Due to the virus, we will be unable to celebrate Harvest in the same way this year and we are hoping that you will join us, in our alternative virtual arrangements.

Traditionally, we would be asking you to kindly donate items of food to share with families less fortunate than ourselves. This year, we will be asking you to donate any loose change that you may have and this will be donated to Telford Crisis Support. Our RotaKids group will be explaining what we are doing via video and this will be posted on the website, so please keep your eyes peeled!!

All the small change will be collected in collection boxes outside the school building. Telford Crisis Support will then tell us how many food parcels we have managed to fund.

We hope that you can join us in collecting for a very needed local cause this Harvest time.

More details to follow from our Rotakids.

Kind regards

Mrs Bishton and Miss Plimmer

Deputy Headteacher and Religious Education Coordinator

Builders in nursery

As many of you know our theme this term is “Homes” which is inspired by all the building work going on next to nursery. Our children have been set the challenge to build their own homes using a variety of resources. Here’s one example from today. Can you please encourage your child to build at home, perhaps a den made of old sheets or some wooden blocks? Please share your creations on parent share with us.

Science

This afternoon our lesson was science. We were looking at the parts of the body. We worked in small groups or partners to label the bodies.

We all had great fun and learnt lots of new body parts.

Yr 6 Arthog trip update

Dear Parents / Carers

As you will be aware, government guidelines currently state that school residential trips are unable to go ahead due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, this has meant that Arthog has had to cancel the trip which was supposed to go ahead in October 2020. The good news is, we have managed to provisionally secure a 3-night stay (rather than the original 4-night stay) at Arthog over a weekend in May: Friday 21^st to Monday 24^th May 2021. This is fantastic timing as it will be shortly after SATs and a great opportunity for the children to celebrate all of their hard work and their time at Newdale before moving on to secondary school. As the trip will be over a weekend, the children will then get two days off school on Tuesday 25^th and Wednesday 26^th May because as we know from previous years, the children return very tired after an action packed few days and will need time to recover. Hopefully by the time we get to May next year, we will be in a more stable position and residential visits will be allowed to Arthog. The cost of this weekend will be £175. We are aware that some people have already made part or full payment for the original trip and the office will be in touch with you, once attendees are confirmed to inform of outstanding balances or refunds due. Clearly, if the trip does not go ahead, you will receive a full refund. In order to secure this booking with Arthog, we will need to confirm numbers therefore could you please log onto Parentpay and confirm whether you wish your child to attend.

Nursery phonics challenge

We are concentrating hard at the moment on developing the listening skills needed to ensure that we will be able to differentiate sounds. Please can you support this at home by using the website phonics play. On this site just add the user name: march20 and the password: home. Then select the phase 1 game “Welcome to the zoo”. Please begin by meeting the animals, can your child name the animals and predict the sound they might make? You can then move on to the main game in which they guess which animal is being delivered to the zoo.

Have fun!
