Playground Donations

Dear Parents and Carers,

We hope this message finds you well and that your children are reporting that they are enjoying this half term so far.

At Newdale we are committed to enriching our children’s playtime with imaginative, active, and collaborative outdoor experiences. To help us enhance our playground, we are kindly asking for donations of specific items that will support creative and physical play.

We would be grateful for donations of the following items (new or gently used):

  • Sandpit tools (spades, buckets, moulds, etc.)

Balance bikes

  • Push along construction vehicles: diggers, dumper trucks,
  •  Brooms, dustpans, and brushes
  •  Thick long ropes (for tug-of-war or creative play)

Long skipping ropes

  •  Clean tyres (car or bike, suitable for safe play)
  • Traffic cones
  • Scramble nets
  •  Smoothed-off planks of wood (no splinters or nails)
  •  Plastic or part metal wheelbarrows
  •  Plastic snow shovels
  •  Large metal or plastic kitchen utensils (e.g., fish slices, serving spoons)

These materials will help us create a more dynamic and engaging outdoor space where children can explore, build, and play safely.

To donate:

 Please call the school office on 01952 387720 to discuss your donation and arrange a suitable drop-off time.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference and is appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us make our playground a place of joy, creativity, and adventure.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Play Leaders

Our School Parliament ‘Play Leaders’ are busy settling into their new role out on our playground.

They are enjoying supporting all children with eg. Giving them ideas on what games they could play & helping younger children sort out minor friendship squabbles.

They completed their first training session with our Pastoral team on Monday.

Well done to them all!

Text messages

We have recently upgraded our MIS system to Arbor of which we use to send out text messages to parents.

We believe that messages are coming through to parents showing from a mobile number rather than stating Newdale.

Please can we ask for you to save this mobile number as Newdale in your contacts to ensure you are receiving communication from us.

Many thanks

Newdale Team
