Year 6 Leavers Assembly

For their final farewell, year 6 will be hosting an awards ceremony, distributing awards to peers who they have voted for in class. The assembly will begin at 2.00pm and there will be an opportunity for photographs to be taken at the end. The children can bring in smart clothing (such as their prom outfit), if they wish to change into this before the event, however this is not compulsory.

We ask that no more than two adults per household attend to ensure there is enough room in the hall for every6one.

Thank you,

The Year 6 Team.

All of Y4 represented Newdale exceptionally well on their trip to Blists Hill.

Please ask your child what they learnt on their trip and how this links to what they have been learning back at school.

Does your child spend time exploring online?

The internet’s a great place for children to learn, create, chat with friends and family, access information or support and explore fun apps, sites and games. But exploring comes with risks, so it’s vital we know how to keep them safe online.

That’s why we’d like to invite you to join our FREE workshop: ‘Keeping children safe online’.

Our workshop will:

• Help you understand how kids experience the online world
• Show you resources and tools that could help keep them safe
• Empower you to guide them on their journey

For: parents, carers, family members  (this workshop is for adults so please arrange childcare if possible)

Location: Newdale Primary School

Date: Monday 14^th February 2022

Time: 2-3pm

Price: free

Delivered by: NSPCC – Rachel Wallace

To book your place please speak to your child’s class teacher or Mrs Powell.

As Mrs Fenn will be starting her maternity leave soon, she will be carrying out her parents’ evenings earlier on than the rest of the school.  Due to the current rise in COVID cases, the safest option is for telephone consultations to take place rather than the normal face to face meetings.

Please find attached more information. Letters are being sent out today.

The adults in Year 4 are looking forward to welcoming back children tomorrow (Wednesday 5th January 2022).

Just a couple of reminders:

PE Days:

Monday – Indoor

Thursday – Outdoor

Spelling/Times Tables Test

Due to it being a shorter week, children will be tested on their spellings/times tables next week.

Please remember to use the school communication books for messages or our Y4 email address.

Miss Cook has sent out an update re Covid. We encourage all parents to test their children using a lateral flow test before returning to school.

Keep an eye out on Parent Pay as we will be sharing an exciting trip for the end of January.

Many thanks
