Well done Year 6!

We are extremely proud of how well the children have settled into their new year group.

PE days will remain unchanged next half-term (Monday and Tuesday).

There is no homework to complete over half-term as we want the children to enjoy their break and to return refreshed on Monday 3rd November. Homework will be given on this day so please can children bring their homework books to school.

We have reminded children that along with their weekly homework, they are expected to read at least 5 times a week in year 6 and to record a detailed comment in their reading diary. We would really appreciate parental support and reminders for this, to help us support the children with their learning and also to prepare them for the homework expectations in secondary school.

Have a fabulous half-term!

Mrs Stack and Mrs Arthurs

 

Last week for Year 6!

Can you believe that it is only one week to go until Year 6 leave Newdale?!

Please see below some key information for next week:

Water Fight! 

On Monday, the children will be having a water fight just before the end of the school day. Your child is welcome to bring a change of clothes (which they will change into prior), a towel and a water gun with them to school. They may come home very wet!

Wednesday

On Wednesday, the children will be taking all of their school books home. Please ensure they bring additional bags with them to school to allow for this. Children who walk home from school may need help from their parents on this afternoon.

The Final Day

On the last day, children are invited to dress down and come to school party ready. Face paint/jewels, hair glitter and festival accessories are all welcome! In fact, the more colourful and sparkly, the better! Should children wish to, they can bring a shirt/t-shirt that they wish other children to sign during the day.

Parents are invited to arrive at the office from 1pm for a 1.15pm start in the hall, where the children will sing their leaver’s song. We will then all move to the field to enjoy the leaver’s party until 3.00pm. There will be a range of activities for you and your children to participate in or you can choose to relax on the grass, catch up and celebrate for one last time! Please bring picnic blankets for relaxing in the sunshine (hopefully) and have your phone at the ready for some great photo opportunities.

See you there!

Year 6 Leaver’s Party

With the end of the school year fast approaching, we are excited to share information with you regarding the Year 6 Leaver’s Party. Different to our usual end of year celebrations, the children this year voted unanimously to have this event instead of our usual end of year production. This fun-filled event will take place on the last day of term, Friday 18th July 2025, from 1.15pm until 3.10pm; it will include music, food, games, photo opportunities, inflatables, nerf wars and much more! We invite two adults per child to join us on this occasion for a contribution of £2 per ticket (see Parentpay for further details), which will support the funding of the activities that have been heavily subsidised by school. We look forward to seeing you there!

Year 6 – Healthy lifestyles week – Zorbing!

Mrs Stack’s class kicked off their healthy lifestyles week in style with a fantastic session of zorbing this afternoon!

Don’t forget to take part in some exercise out of school and record your activity in your reading diary for the chance to win some fantastic prizes! You can also send photos of your participation to the year 6 inbox:

newdale.year6team@taw.org.uk.

Happy healthy lifestyles week!

 

Year 6 Inter-house competition

Year 6 had a fabulous afternoon on Friday taking part in their inter-house competition to celebrate the end of their SATs.

Well done to all who took part and especially to Ironbridge girls and boys who both took first place!

PE this week

Hi,

Just to let you know that there will be a change to PE days this week: Tuesday and Friday instead of Tuesday and Wednesday. On Friday, the children will be taking part in an inter-house football competition.

 

Many thanks,

The year 6 team

Happy Easter

The children have worked so hard in preparation for their SATs assessments and we are very proud of them. I’m sure they are looking forward to their Easter break. We have not set any homework during these two weeks but have sent home some optional revision tasks, should they wish to complete them.

We would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter.

The year 6 team

Many thanks

Swimming reminder – Mrs Stack’s class

Hi everyone,

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break and have been enjoying the snow today! This is just a reminder that my class has swimming on the first day back (Tuesday 7th January 2024) so please remember to bring swimming kits. Children are welcome to come to school in PE kit on swimming days for ease of changing. Please ensure that parental consent to attend swimming has been given on Parentpay as without this children are unable to participate.

Our second weekly PE session will be on a Friday of each week.

Many thanks,

Mrs Stack
