Year 4, 5 & 6 DISCO Information – Thursday 21st May

Years 4, 5, 6, we hope you are as excited as we are for the upcoming D.I.S.C.O on Thursday! :)  Get those song requests handed in and practise those dance moves!

 

Can all children attending please enter through the main reception doors at 5.30pm.  You will see a member of staff for each year group ready to tick your name off the guest list and let you in, so please look out for your year group line to queue in.

Please note the collection points for each year group are slightly different and will be as follows:

Year 6 at the end of the disco will be taken out of the external door by the year 6 classrooms and will be released to parents/carers collecting from the Y6 gates. 

Year 5 at the end of the disco will be released from the hall exit doors to parents/carers.

Year 4 at the end of the disco to be will be taken back out of the main reception doors to parents/carers. 

The Disco will end at 7pm.

Please can we ask parents and carers dropping off to take their child’s coats with them once they have dropped off at the disco and then bring them back on collection. This will help with storage and ease during the disco. Thank you.

We can’t wait to see you there.

 

A huge welcome to our new Reception Class 26-27! 👋

A huge welcome to our new Reception Class 26-27! 👋

Many of our Mighty Oaks children have secured a space in our reception cohort for September 2026! We will also be welcoming a number of children from other nurseries across the community and can’t wait to meet you all and welcome you into Newdale.

We will be in touch shortly via letter and phone with information about starting school and transition information as we understand everyone will be getting excited about visiting their new classrooms, meeting staff and friends and buying new smart uniform ☺️.

Please keep an eye out for post and/or calls over the next couple of weeks as we organise dates and release information. We will be looking at ringing newcomers soon, visiting both children in Mighty Oaks and visiting community nurseries to meet the children and will offer a classroom experience in July for both children and parents.

We can’t wait to meet you all and are looking forward to starting your big school journey.

Any questions please ask.

See you all soon 👋

Message for Reception – cress!

Good evening,
We hope you are enjoying growing your little pots of cress at home. Some children sent in a photo of their growing seeds to share in class and everyone loved looking at them. If you haven’t and would like to send in some photos of the cress growth, then children can proudly share these back in class. Please send in via the Evidence Me app.
Thank you.

Message for Reception

Good evening,
Please can we remind you to ensure you bring in your child’s Read. Write, Inc reading books into school in their plastic packets, along with reading diaries everyday. We change them weekly, but we do take these along to sessions so it is essential that they are in school for when needed.
Thank you for your continued support at home.

Have a lovely weekend.

Healthy Lunches for Little Learners

Today, your child will have brought home a letter with some guidance for Healthy Lunchbox ideas for school. We encourage everyone to take full advantage of the free school lunch or sandwich option over providing a packed lunch, as this is a cost effective and healthy choice right up until the end of Year 2! New menus were handed out last week.

If you do opt to bring in a lunchbox from home, please can we draw your attention in particular to the safety section, in which Parents/Carers are asked to ensure grapes are cut lengthways as a choking hazard prevention method. This is a requirement and they must be cut this way.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Welcome Back Reception

Welcome back tomorrow to the Summer Term!  We hope you had a lovely Easter break and are looking forward to seeing you all and hearing about it. We are also looking forward to starting our new topic about ‘Growing’.
Please note the changes to PE days for the Summer Term, which are now on a Thursday and Friday. Come dressed in school uniform PE Kit (no branded logos) on those days please. Forest School remains on a Thursday afternoon, so please bring in wellies and waterproofs in a kit bag on this day.

Thank you.

Reception Message

Hello

Next week we will be continuing our new learning about animals. The children have loved this so far, especially the vets role play area, making appointments, dressing up and pretending to make pets feel better.

If you have a pet at home, we would love to have a special photo show and tell next Tuesday (3rd March) as we talk about World Wildlife Day. Please send photos digitally via Evidence Me, so we can display them on the big screen in class for show and tell.
If you do not have a pet, but perhaps a Grandparent or someone close has a familiar pet that could be shared as an alternative, then this is absolutely welcomed.

Thank you for your support.
The Reception Team :)
